Does it mattter what size wheels I buy?

[kaijuz]

I have a pair of K2 schrijns, and the wheels are worn down. I need to buy new wheels, but I don't know what size wheel or what hardness they should be. Does it matter what size I buy as long as I buy aggressive style wheels, and does it matter what hardness they are? Are softer or harder wheels better?

Thanks in advance.

Depends on what setup you're going for. But usually bigger and softer means more grip and speed, and smaller and harder gives you less control and more slide. 60-56 is good for your outside wheels, and 47 is a good anti rocker. Anything with a hardness of 90A up to 100+A is a good grind wheel. Below that is a good traveling wheel.

More notes :
- flat rocker setups can use smaller wheels as there is better force distribution among them

freestyle and anti rocker wheels are usually better bigger so your urethane lasts longer and you get the most control out of the setup.

Also, smaller wheels mean more space to grind with in flat setups.

Like he said, bigger wheels means more speed, smaller wheels gives you more room but with anti or freestyle you don't really need that. Softer wheels give you more traction or grip, and harder wheels mean more speed.
