Ricta Wheels

[Greatkyle]

i just bought some 54 mm all star rictas the other day and i found them less than sastisfactory, i guess they are on the harder side b/c when i tic tackied they had less grip on the pavement and i kept falling off. also it was very hard to insert the bearings by hand, they also had marks in them from riding for only a few minutes, my driveway did have some sticks and brush on it, my old wheels were 52mm 98a blanks and i think im going to get rid of my $30 rictas and go back to my blanks, these were supposed to be some of the best skateboard wheels u can buy and they didnt do so well, has anyone has a similiar experience with these wheels or if they have anything to comment it would bge most appreciated

dude i just purchased some rictas 50mm yellow wheels there supposed to be coming in the mail today i know this doesnt involve this but how do insert bearings by hand and alsothere going to get marks on them just give them some time is my advice

i dont think rictas are too good....go with satori or hubba

1. put the bearing on a truck axle.
2. put the wheel on, and apply pressure, and they will lock in.

Not to sound like a butthole, but... Ricta All-Stars are made with 83B urethane. That is hard.

[Dookie416]

overall what do you think are better, rictas or blanks?

[flipsk8er1728]

Rictas.

ten characters

[Dookie416]

do they feel good? do they flatspot easily? i do a lot of powerslides, like not necessarily a powerslide, but like a back 180, just in the air i spin a 90, and powerslide the rest.

ya i looked at that and did the math, the ricta outside is 100.2A and the core is a extremely hard 171.6A!, so i put my 98A blanks back on 2day and i was going around on my driveway and i had the feel i like, so to all the readers RICTAS OWN, just not if u like crusiing like me so i know in the future to get a slightly softer then 100A wheel, maybe ill change over when i get more technical... thnks for the comments guys

[Dookie416]

eh, blanks > rictas

[SmaShitUp9]

I like spitfires. Some one i know had rictas and they broke in half the first day he had them he didnt even get to ride them yet lmfao. Dont ask me how but they did haha
