Yeah I tried a few of the shapes including the nanocubics, and I think having a narrow contact patch is the way to go for 93a. Makes sliding on slide tricks much more manageable. They would still be way more grippy on wood, and still ride over crust way better than any hard wheel. For this reason I am likely going for the v1 54mm for the next set. That said, I prefer having the x97 or x99 v6 or v5 for parks depending on how crusty the park is. Soft wheels just soak up the speed enough to frustrate me lol
Love my dragons and the nano cubic shape is great . Looking forward to trying these out. Also, I'm considering trying the lupriv . Since I started skating last year I have skated indys Mino logos and grind kings. My favorite so far have been the GKs but I broke a kingpin on them and now looking to try something else. I don't really like my indys after skating GKs and the Mini logos.
The Lurpivs are really loose at first. You might have to get a harder bushing. Maybe even two washers on top but even after that they turn really sharp. They are really tall.
@@MichaelRelevant Appreciate the info on the Lupriv's. I do like a somewhat tight truck tho. Maybe ill just stick with what I know an like and go with the GK's. Im currently on a 8.25 but will be going back up to 8.75 on my next one, was hoping the narrow deck would help me with flip tricks but it doesn't really and the wider decks feel a lot more comfy under my feet. What is your Ebay link? Wont be upgrading for a few more weeks but I might be interested in your GK's when I do and if they have not sold.
It pains me that Powell doesn’t list their contact patch. Do you know how the nano rats contact patch compares to the nano cubics? Provided diameter is the same (IE 56mm nano rat and 56mm nano cubic) I really like 93a nano cubics I got. I just wish I could have a few more millimeters of contact patch and I’m hoping the nano rats is the answer.
They look a bit harder than regular Dragons. They look good for rough skateparks. But not too rough. I usually ride Dragons for rough street, and spitfire 54mm 99a in a nice smooth park. But, im thinking about trying 56mm or another bigger wheel for big transition.
Wheels’ durometers are determined by “look”. George Powell use a durometer gauge. If they say 93A, they are. This isn’t Spitfire after all, they lie. 😂😂😂😂
Definitely not center set take a look at them if you have some. The bearings are much closer to one side than the other rather than in the center. I just went and double check on Powell website for this comment they have a photo of where the bearings set. Not as extreme as Andy’s wheel be definitely not centered.
@@MichaelRelevant idk there are pics of their cross sections on the powell website and the discription says: " It has the outer edge you are used to, a lock-on inner edge, and center set bearings to give you a wheel that will upgrade your ride without changing the balance of your set up. Halfway between Nano-Cubics and traditional symmetrical wheels, Nano-Rats provide an easy way to make the Dragon Formula work even better for you."
Dude you skate really well. Good style .
Thanks I appreciate that.
They’re great. Thanks for the review. Sadly, now you got do a review on the “Bones Omega Wheels”.
Eventually
Bones v6 97a are my wheels rn and love them
They have this wheel in different shapes. I have the v5 shape in 97 duro and theyre pretty narrow and less grippy
I’ve been looking for a site that could explain the shape specs, but haven’t been able to yet 🤦♂️
@JoshMcAllisterSK8 skateone has the best that I've seen in showing the dimensions. I got the 52x30 size

Interested in these wheels, i love the dragons 93d but they stick so bad on ledges

I’m selling some 8.75 grind Kings on Mercari and eBay right now.

I really like the shape of these wheels I want to get some 😎👍🏽🔥
Are they the 54mm x 39mm?
how would you deal with coning with this shape? asymmetrical is a good idea, but in practice...
Yeah that’s true. it’s not that far off center but you can’t really flip them.
would you say these are better than the regular dragons?
No about the same but more for transition.
You seem like a nice guy
Thanks, I appreciate that!

I need to make a video on that soon.

The Nano Rats are centered not offset like the Nano Cubics (Andy Anaderson).
