Although 87a is still excellent for smooth riding, you will be able to bike quicker. Softer wheels are more forgiving on difficult surfaces; they will not become caught when rolling over tiny rocks and fractures. Bones and Spitfire both have excellent quality control and use the best raw materials and manufacturing processes. They are a bit more expensive than other brands, but you'll get a decent return on your investment. Ricta Clouds are an excellent choice. These are the attributes that the greatest wheels for cruising and stunts should have. The finest transition skateboard wheels should have similar characteristics as skatepark wheels. Anything between 53 and 54 mm is OK. The hardness should range from 96A to 101A.
