Rat Bones Re-Issue Skateboard Wheels

Love these. Been riding Rat Bones for years. 60/85a is perfect all around. And the black goes with my new Indy Blackouts.

That is what a kid 30 years my junior said when he tried my board that had these. I even compared them on smooth asphalt with my real old-school Sims B-52s with Swiss bearings and they are much faster! The smaller wheels on most modern skateboards make popping ollie style tricks easier, but for practically everything else, these rule! And these are made in the USA too. Update 1/20/2011: I setup 3 skateboards. My Rat Bones board (Powell Daggers deck with Indy 169's), a new school board with Indy 139's and nice Bones STF 53MM wheels, and a Sector 9 Longboard: 1. New School - Easiest to pop Ollies and do modern kick-flip style tricks. The small, lightweight Bones STF wheels really work well here. Skating the downhill parking lot into the skate park, it is good for about 10MPH all the way down. I complete the frontside turn at the bottom and basically stop at the small drainage ditch before entering the park. Kind of boring. 2. Rat Bones: Start heading down the downhill parking lot. It is a cold day and I have the park all to myself. As my speed increases I can start to feel the windchill. About halfway down I'm going a little faster than the new school board. Cool. Wait a second! I am still going faster - too fast to jump off and I still got a way to go before making the turn. I think I am in trouble. I hit the turn still accelerating and thinking I am about to eat it really bad. A hard longboard style frontside turn slows me enough that I can ollie over the ditch and into the park and up the volcano. The Rat Bones are also faster in every part of the concrete park, especially the pool and half-pipe. 3. Longboard - Sector 9 boards and wheels are also made in the US like Powell decks, Rat Bones and Indy trucks. It is a longboard - well suited for high speed carving and a smooth ride. The Sector 9 wheels are smoother than the Rat Bones but slightly slower. Bottom line: For most types of general riding, these wheels are Da Bomb! Get a set. You might have to use 1/4" risers to avoid wheel bite. Also, be careful the first time you skate something that you are used to in new school wheels. You might find yourself going a lot faster!

i weigh 82kgs and ride cruisers, skateboards and longboards. i've tried many different brands (sector 9, orangatang, abec11, bones, etc) and i find the Powell Peralta, 60mm, 85A, (44mm width) wheel ideal for all terrain riding....soft enough to be quiet, smooth and fast, and also hard enough to slide down tarmac and be durable. sugary buttery slides (not icey). i believe that the 90A duro would be too hard and noisy. the width of the wheel is also ideal. not too narrow, not too wide. very stable at speed down tarmac roads but not too wide for skating on flat roads and surfaces. i've tried the 88a duro in abec 11 noskoolz and they are loud compared to these i strongly recommend these wheels (60mm, 85A) great value for money. i've ordered more sets because these are well worth it

30 years later these reissue bones are still the same as the originals, Smooth, quiet and grippy. For 10" wide reissue OG boards these are the wheels you gotta try first. I bet you wont want to try anything else after you glide the Rat Bones. The feel, The sound, The grip, and best of all The SMILE all comes back in your first push. When I was a teen I had to save up to buy my Powell ripper with bones wheels. Now I can better afford to build better than imagined and these wheels with super reds took my vintage build to cloud 10.

Best pool board wheels hands down. Never flat spot, roll fast, great grip no matter what surface, butter.

Wanted to get into freestyle so I got these wheels. They make your skateboard feel like a tank! If you think that's a bad thing don't get them (though I doubt this is exclusive to these freestyle wheels), but I personally love it. I used to not be able to ride around my campus, but now I am able to with only minimal difficulties in sections that are particularly badly paved. Due to the larger diameter, the wheels do bite a lot easier, so I had to tighten my trucks quite bit. Getting riser pads could be another solution, but since the wheels also add height to the board, I didn't want to get any (though I might in the future).

I bought a sweet new mini logo to replace my original Rodney Mullen mutt from the mid 80's, and had not realized that now people are using granite as wheel material. After falling and hurting myself a few times (not insignificantly) I realized something was wrong, and I started to suspect the wheels which sounded like rifle shots over sidewalk cracks (54mm 101a c-cut trick wheels). These 60mm 85a wheels transformed my board from a torture device to pure fun. No falls and more smooth, quiet distance per push. Worth every penny. It would be nice if the clean, cool lettering on the wheel was more durable.

Great set of wheels. These wheels are very smooth to ride on decent pavement, especially through pebbles (size of standard marbles) which is a plus. These wheels can't roll over everything, but in a modern city, these wheels will do just fine. White print may peel off, keep that in mind.

Pedí estas ruedas y recibí las ruedas Lonseka de Powel Peralta tbn, pero la forma y la serigrafia no es la misma.

Those are perfect wheels for my cruiser board. I will buy them again for sure.

Roda clássica do skate, compradas para um Caballero...

Tamaño y fuerza excelentes para las calles de la ciudad

Im Oldschool Bereich für 8,5" bis 10" Bretter mit 15" bis 16" WB auf Beton und Asphalt mit guten Geschwindigkeiten und viel Grip. Nicht so gut geeignet für Park und garnicht geeignet für die Halle. Perfekt geeignet für den Straßenverkehr! Die Rollen tragen etwa 1/2" auf die Achsenbreite auf, schützen so das Gewinde und die Lager vor Abnutzung, sie sind außen abgerundet und innen nur leicht angefast. Diese Walzen haben mich gut zehn Jahre lang täglich im Punkrock begleitet und waren absolut zuverlässig. Ich hab für mich immer nach etwas besserem gesucht und nie etwas vergleichbares gefunden. Zum Setup empfehle ich den 10" Pool Ripper mit Independent Achsen und Shockpads.
