However, it is frequently referred to just as urethane. \r\n            This versatile material can be manufactured in varying degrees of hardness and has therefore dominated the skateboard wheel market.\r\n        <\/p>\r\n\r\n        <p>\r\n            But not all urethane is the same, nor are all wheels the same. \r\n            The different skateboard wheel brands are constantly trying new blends of materials to make the wheels more durable, faster, smoother, slide better, and to make them especially flat spot resistant. \r\n            But we\u2019ll get to that later.\r\n        <\/p>\r\n\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>      \r\n\r\n<div id=\"skateboard-wheels-flatspot\" class=\"post clearfix padding-bottom\">\r\n    <div class=\"hide-for-small large-2 columns\">\r\n        <div class=\"date-day\">1.2 <\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"date-month\">Skateboard Wheels: What are flat spots?<\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"large-10 columns\">\r\n        <h3 class=\"margin-bottom\">1.2 Skateboard Wheels: What are flat spots?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n        <p>\r\n            When doing powerslides (turning the board sideways and sliding on all four wheels, perpendicular to their rolling direction in order to slow your board down), 180 powerslides (turning the board 180\u00b0 while skating without doing an ollie or other tricks), and other slide tricks like the bluntside, it\u2019s possible that your wheels will become severely abraded, and you\u2019ll develop <em>flat spots<\/em> on your wheels. \r\n            When this happens, your wheel will no longer be perfectly round and consequently, won\u2019t roll properly.

Moreover, with bigger wheels, you\u2019ll be on the safe side when riding on rough ground since they won\u2019t be stopped by each and every little stone that crosses your path.\r\n            Larger wheels are devoted to reaching higher speeds and are more durable.\r\n        <\/p>\r\n\r\n        <p>\r\n            <span class=\"h5\">\r\n                So, to break it all down for you: For street skateboarding use <a href=\"\/en\/skateboard-wheels?eav=243-246\" target=\"blank\" title=\"Skateboard Wheels from 50 - 53 mm at skatedeluxe\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">small wheels between 50 &#8211; 53mm<\/a>, for small ramps and mini-ramps use <a href=\"\/en\/skateboard-wheels?eav=246-249\" target=\"blank\" title=\"Skateboard Wheels from 53 - 56 mm at skatedeluxe\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mid sized wheels from 53 &#8211; 56 mm<\/a>, for vert skateboarding, use <a href=\"\/en\/skateboard-wheels?eav=249-290\" target=\"blank\" title=\"Skateboard Wheels up to 59 mm\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">larger wheels up to 59 mm.<\/a>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n        <\/p>\r\n\r\n        <p>\r\n            For beginners and anyone who\u2019s undecided, we recommend <strong>all-around wheels<\/strong> with a diameter <a href=\"\/en\/skateboard-wheels?eav=246-249\" target=\"blank\" title=\"Skateboard Wheels from 53 - 56 mm at skatedeluxe\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">of 53-56mm.<\/a> This size range is currently the most popular with skaters.  \r\n        <\/p>\r\n\r\n        &nbsp;\r\n\r\n        <a id=\"skateboard-wheels-flatspot\"><h4>Skateboard Wheels: Suggested Sizes Based On Your Trucks<\/h4><\/a>\r\n\r\n        <p>\r\n            When buying skateboard wheels, you should check to make sure your wheel size fits with your setup. \r\n            What\u2019s crucial here is your truck selection. When your trucks and wheels aren\u2019t right for each other, you\u2019ll end up with some nasty wheel bites.\r\n        <\/p>\r\n\r\n        <blockquote>\r\n            <span class=\"h5\">What are Wheelbites?<\/span>\r\n            <br>\r\n            A <em>wheelbite<\/em> is the result of your deck coming into contact with your wheels. \r\n            If you skate with large wheels, the distance between them and the skateboard deck is smaller. \r\n            Landing tricks and hard turns can produce this unpleasant meeting of deck and wheel, leading to a very abrupt and likely painful stop.  \r\n        <\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n        &nbsp;\r\n        <p>\r\n            As you might have guessed, bigger wheels also require higher trucks. Of course, with big wheels and high trucks your entire setup will be a bit higher. There are two things you should keep in mind with such a setup:\r\n        <\/p>\r\n        <p>\r\n            1. During the pop-off, the tail has to go a long distance until it hits the ground. Consequently, the angle of your board will be steeper and Ollies (theoretically) will be higher. If you\u2019ve got enough power and long legs this shouldn\u2019t be a problem, but small skaters and beginners could face some hard times here.\r\n        <\/p>\r\n        <p>\r\n            2. Since the board is higher above the ground than with small wheels and low trucks, you\u2019ll have to bend your knees more while pushing.

These wheels are substantially harder than the wheels on the A scale.   \r\n        <\/p>\r\n\r\n        <h4 align=\"center\">WHICH HARDNESS DO I NEED?<\/h4>\r\n\r\n        <p>\r\n            Soft skateboard wheels have more grip, are quieter, and absorb irregularities in the ground better than hard wheels. \r\n            Because of this, they slide less than hard wheels and are a bit slower. \r\n            Below you can find out which individual degree of hardness is most suitable for you.  \r\n        <\/p>\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"medium-12 columns\">\r\n            <div class=\"medium-6 columns\">  \r\n                <h5>SOFT SKATEBOARD WHEELS | 78A &#8211; 92A<\/h5>\r\n                <p>\r\n                    Soft wheels are suitable for very rough surfaces and for cruiser and filming boards because they absorb ground unevenness and minimize noise. \r\n                    These wheels have a lot of grip and are slower in comparison to hard wheels.

Brands are using different mixtures that also have an influence on a wheel\u2019s performance. Unfortunately, there is hardly any information about the urethane compounds used by the various manufacturers. Therefore, it is possible that wheels with the same specifications as hardness (durometer), diameter, riding surface, etc., will perform differently. Thus, it makes sense to simply give another brand a try if you weren\u2019t 100% satisfied with your last wheels.\r\n        <\/p>\r\n\r\n        <p align=\"justify\">\r\n            If you still have questions or suggestions, you can leave a comment under this post, send us an email through our <a href=\"\/en\/contact\" title=\"Contact Us!\">contact form, or ask our customer service team<\/a> for advice in choosing the optimal wheels.\r\n        <\/p>\r\n\r\n        <p align=\"justify\">\r\n            You can find other interesting information on skateboard decks, wheels, bearings, bolts and more in the skatedeluxe Skateboard Wiki. \r\n            To ensure that the deck, trucks, and wheels, as well as the bearings and bolts, fit together, we have created the skatedeluxe Skateboard Configurator. \r\n            This allows you to easily display your individual selections and create a completely customized skateboard in six simple steps.        \r\n        <\/p>\r\n\r\n        <p align=\"justify\">\r\n            Below you can find an overview of the most well-known special technology in the skateboard wheel business.
