(NOT SO) SLIPPERY WHEN WET.
Your favorite Orangatang longboard wheels with rain grooves added to the tread for improved traction and control for commuting or downhill/distance racing in wet, slippery conditions!
Rain wheel grooves are a custom order, added by the O-tang geniuses, by hand and with lots of love (and urethane dust). The PU gets hot and stanky! This may add 1-2 days to shipping times.
Currently available, fo' sho', are Caguama and Kegel wheel sets. Get Kegels on this page, and click here for Caguamas.
If you're looking for a specific model or duro that isn't shown here, just ask.
What does "duro" mean? Duro is short for "durometer", a rating that describes the relative hardness of materials - in this case, the polyurethane that is used in skate wheels. The larger the number (between 1-100 on the Durometer A Scale), the harder the material. A softer, more forgiving ride will be had with a 77a rating. You'll feel less vibration come through your board, and the wheel will be a little slower than a wheel at 80a. An 83a wheel, all other factors being equal (diameter, width, contact surface, rider input, environmental conditions), will be faster and absorb less,
What's in the box? Purchase price includes set of 4 wheels with added rain grooves.
