as soon as I know how to ollie while riding, I will buy these to ride some rough spots. just watching someone skate them and ride through very rough terrain is like the most effective commercial there ever was.
I'm an old man from the 80s and 90s and I'm running these on my latest cruiser. Definitely prefer them to the re-issue Rat Bones on my older cruiser setup.
To those who buy a set of super juice. The performance of the wheel is phenomenal. But beware I reccomend not doing 5-0 and crooks . My set are falling apart. Lesson learned😂
Great wheels! I got a set of the 60mms w, 1/8 risers and havent caught wheel bite at all. They do zoom esp w fast bearings so becareful esp going downhill.
@@VBLN Both the 55 and 60mm will feel better than the stock Penny board wheels. The Super Juice wheels are just the best frickin' cruiser wheels. I've had them on my cruiser for about 2 years now and they're still great. Cheers! - Tim
@@tacticsboardshop Like the guy above im also new to skating and where I live terrain is terrible plus all i care is cruising not tricks. I thought 58mm would be like a limit but im wondering are 60mm too big on a regular skateboard? Thanks.
Flying around Portland myself with these wheels, using super Swiss six bearing with a 8.6 baker deck with the ti indys, sweet setup for ripping downtown.
Yo these are gamechanging. I had so much anxiety on regular hard wheels then got these and felt a million times more confident and in control. All beginners should use these first. Instant joy.
I have had these for about six months. I love them. I don't want to switch them out for any wheel on the streets. The push is amazing but there is no slide. But they don't flat spot or chunk. the 55s are better for control, because they are very fast, yet not huge wheels. And yes, you can do tricks. I don't go to parks anymore because of these wheels.
Are they prone to chunking? I've had some Bones Rough Riders in 56mm start chunking after a month of use. I go for a cruise usually if weather permits 3 times a week for about 30 miles total.
I've had my set of Super Juices on my cruiser for about 4 months now and haven't had any problems with chunking. There is a small chunk missing on one of my back wheels, but I didn't even notice it until I was carrying by board one day. I think as long as you're not doing gratuitous power slides or ledge tricks, these will last fine for you. - Tim
I'd recommend either 1/8th inch or 1/4 inch risers to avoid wheelbite, I don't think you'll need anything taller than that. If you go with 1/4 inch risers you might have to get longer hardware to accommodate them (1 1/8 inch minimum on a standard deck) - Tim
I have had these for months with NO cracks or chunking. I have ridden them through everything, however, I just don't like them at the park. The ultimate all terrain wheels.
For classic skateboard, cruising to the work every day, which one you would recommend? Mini Super Juice (55mm) or Super Juice (60mm)? I want make some ollie from time to time and other simple tricks. Thank you!
If you want to do some ollies and simple tricks, then I'd recommend the Mini Super Juices (55mm). I have them on my cruiser right now and use them to commute to work. They're awesome! - Tim
You could force a slide if you really needed to but overall these wheels don't slide too well. They do slide a bit better after breaking them in and getting through the shiny skin of the contact patch, but foot braking would still probably be the more reliable option for stopping. Cheers! - Tim
i currently am starting to skate and i just bought these. i want to try out trick and all but now i see comments saying that og wheels are mostly for cruising. i got the 54 mm 87a
Risers will definitely help you avoid wheelbite since 149s (Indy or Thunder) aren't particularly tall trucks. I'd get either 1/8 inch or 1/4 inch risers, but remember that if you get 1/4 inch risers, you might have to get longer hardware to accommodate them (1 1/8 inch hardware for a standard deck.) - Tim
@@aeth3r143 Assuming that you're mounting this to a standard 7-ply deck, the absolute minimum size hardware you can use with 1/8 inch risers would be 1-inch hardware. 7/8 (0.875) inch hardware is the shortest you can use with no risers. Enjoy those cruiser wheels! They mob! - Tim
They're very similar. The Super Juice is the formula that replaced their Hot Juice formula, but they are both veeeeery good cruiser wheels. I think the Super juices are a little grippier, and perform better on wet ground. I've had my Super Juices for about a year now and they're still amazing. Cheers! - Tim
I've seen a lot of people complaining about OJ's, some of the Bones (Rats and Bombers I think), Ricta Clouds blue and white 60mm cruiser wheels and 78a 60mm Slime Balls cruiser wheels chunking really badly. I'm glad to hear yours are holding up. I've been using 60mm Alva 83a cruiser wheels and they seem to be holding up. I guess some people have been getting bad batches.
I want do do ollies and kick tricks in the street, will they hold on and not chip with a couple ollies?? Ive seen too many pictures of chipped super Juice wheels for comfort.
I've had my set of super juice wheels on my crusier/filmer board for about 4 years now and have done plenty of ollies and flip tricks and they haven't chunked out at all. Powerslides and slappy's will likely chunk them up, but you should be fine with riding and simple tricks. 👍 - Tim
I've been wanting to get these for a while now. The only problem is I have a nickel penny board and I'm not sure if they're suited for that kind of deck ? I just like to cruise around, no tricks or sliding. Would these be a good choice?
These should fit fine on a penny board without any risers, and they're amazing for crusing. The Penny board wheels come at 59mm stock, so you could even get the 60mm OJs and you shouldn't run into any wheel bite problems.
Tactics Boardshop Thanks for taking the time to reply! Could I use them with the bearings that came with my original penny wheels as long as I clean them out first?
@@julissahernandez1413 They should work as long as they spin fine. I doubt that Penny uses something other than the standard 608 bearing. Have fun cruising! ✌
I have a 8.25 deck, 1/8th riser and 139mm Independent trucks. I have 63mm fatty Hawgs on them but they seemed to wheel bite every time I landed a FS 180. This reason makes me nervous to do tight turns, carve , and swerve as id typically like to do. Do you think the OJ Super Juice 60mm 78a would be a good fit on this setup?
The OJ Super Juice wheels are amazing and having a slightly smaller wheel will definitely help a little bit with the wheelbite, but it might also have more to do with how loose your trucks are. Also it's much easier to get wheelbite when trying tricks because you're landing on the board with some impact, and if you don't land perfectly center, you're more likely to get wheelbite. Especially with bigger and softer wheels. So having the smaller (60mm) wheels will give you a little bit more clearance for carves (1.5mm), but I don't think it will make a whole lot of difference with trying the FS 180 because of the impact factor. So the Hawgs and the Super Juice wheels are going to be great for transportation, but not good for tricks because of how big and soft they are. If you're wanting to do tricks, then maybe look into some smaller harder wheels and keep your big soft wheels for a cruiser set up. I hope that helps! - Tim
@@bravopapa137 The Thunder Juice wheels are HUGE! 😆 You'd probably want at least 1/2 inch risers with 1 1/2 inch hardware to accommodate the Thunder Juice wheels.
@@tacticsboardshop thank you thank you. I am planning on throwing the OJ Thunder Juices on a Dinghy BK which has wheel wells n is a small old school shape board (L:28.5 ,W:8) with 105mm polar bear trucks with a 1/4” riser pads. Do you think this is possible? Since it has wheel wells what risers do you think I should add on to the 1/4 riser pads?
Hey Tactics! I'm pretty set on some 1/8 inch risers. Is there any way to guarantee that wheel bite won't be an issue with the 60mm super juice? I ride a 7.75 on thunder 147 highs
I can't guarantee that you wont get wheelbite, because that also depends on how loose your trucks are, what kind of bushings you have and whatnot. But you should be good with those 1/8 inch risers. Cheers! - Tim
@@nikobuerk346 You should be good with the 1/8 inch risers,. I'm rocking the 55mm Super Juices with no risers and loose trucks and I don't have any problems with wheelbite. The 60mm wheels would only be 2.5mm closer to the underside of the deck, and an 1/8" riser is 3.175mm, so the 1/8" riser more than makes up the difference of the bigger wheels. But If you really want to avoid wheelbite, 1/4" riser will do the trick. Cheers! - Tim
You can get it to work, but you might actually need even bigger risers for 75mm wheels lol. I think with 1/2 inch risers you'll be able to get the wheel on, but there wont be much wheelbite clearance. So you might need to stack up a couple risers and get some really long hardware. The board is going to be really tall too, so every push will feel like a one legged squat. 😄 But it'll be a beast of a cruiser! Stay safe out there! - Tim
Ok so it’s logo on the outside of axle!? Ok. See some pro rippers having the wheels the other way with logo inside. Wheel is not same both ways so always wondering which way is best !!?? Thanks Tactics, big big fan here!!
You can rock your wheels however you want to! Most wheels are designed to have the graphic out, but some skaters just put the graphic to the inside because they like the way it looks better. But these wheels specifically wouldn't be able to fit on the axle if you turned the graphic to the inside because of the offset core. - Tim
I have the new creature stumps boards. Will OJ mini juice wheels (55mm 78a) prevent me from benefiting from the shorter wheelbase to do tricks? Are OJ soft wheels solely for cruising and certain tricks? Thank you.
The superjuice wheels are very grippy and are a true cruiser wheel. It's hard to initiate a slide with them, so if you're going to be trying any tricks that involve pivots, powerslides, or sliding on a ledge, you'll have a harder doing that with these wheels. I hope that helps! - Tim
I'd recommend the Super Juice wheels. The G-Slides are still good and slide better than the OJs, but the urethane is more dense (85a) and will vibrate your feet more. These Super Juices are just a buttery ride. I have them to commute to work everyday. (Well not lately because of the quarantine!) If you do end up getting the 60mm Super Juices, be sure to get some risers so you wont get wheelbite as much. Stay safe out there! Cheers! - Tim
@@tacticsboardshop Thanks a lot for the detailed response! Do you have any experience with the Powell Snakes or rough riders? Or do they all feel pretty similar?
@@IAMASWIFTER12 I had a set of rough riders on my cruiser set up for a long time and they worked well, but they're not as soft and smooth as the Super Juices. I've never used the Snakes, so I don't really know. - Tim
Would the 60mm be good for metal ramp transition skating with sort of rough tarmac? Or would bones spf 58mm be better? I don’t care about power slides but want to do Ollies and stuff sometimes
Are you talking about doing transition tricks with the 60mm OJ Super Juices? If you're wanting to do tricks with the Super Juices, I'd recommend the 55mm because they're still like butter but you won't get wheelbite as bad and they feel a little closer to normal sized skate wheels. The Bones SPF wheels are hard wheels, so they'll slide and skate totally different. They'd probably be better for doing tricks with than the Super Juice wheels, but they will be a little rougher on that tarmac, but the size of them will help out with that. Both of those wheels are very different and I guess it all depends on if you're more trick or transportation oriented. I hope that helps your decision. - Tim
Tactics Boardshop thanks. I just skated the spfs on tarmac and it feels so rough. It does not feel comfortable so I think soft wheels would be better. I’m really feeling to get the 60mm because I don’t even know how to Ollie yet so won’t even be doing tricks like that. Also some times I like to go skate around the block when I’m bored (live in England where the roads are ass). My only concern was if the 60mm would be good on the metal ramps since i already know the ground in my skatepark is rough
If you want the 60mm then go for it! I'd recommend getting some riser pads if you do so that you wont get wheelbite so much. The soft wheels will be quite grippy on the metal ramps, maybe more grippy than you want, but if the tarmac ground is super crusty, it might be your best option. Have fun out there! Cheers! - Tim
Both wheels are kind of heavy compared to regular hard wheels, but I think that the weight of the wheels will be indistinguishable between the Super Juice and the Hot Juice wheels.
@@tacticsboardshop Thank you very much. I just need them for long rides and need to be soft and quiet more than anything, but always like to save a gram or two if I can. peace
The super juice is 115g on my scale per (60mm)wheel, so 460g in total. Not sure of the hot juice? Maybe someone can weigh one of their wheels so people can compare?
I have the 55mm on my cruiser right now with no risers and relatively loose trucks and I don't really have any problems with wheelbite. The 60mm would probably need risers, but it comes down to how tight your trucks are. If they're super tight, then you probably won't get wheelbite, but if they're loose then you probably will. I usually recommend risers for any wheel bigger than 56mm. I hope that helped! Cheers! - Tim
@@andyvazquezislas8207 It depends on what you're looking for. If your only concern is riding very fast and smooth, then get the 60mm with some risers. But if you want to do some ollies, the occasional flip trick and don't want your board to be heavy, then go with the 55mm. Both perform very well, but the 55's are lighter and a little more responsive, and the 60's are super fast and smooth. 👍 Cheers! - Tim
It's just a little different formula, but they perform pretty much exactly the same. I think the Super Juice wheels last a bit longer and don't get as slippery when it's wet out. 👍 - Tim
@@tacticsboardshop thank you, also is there any good size of board for these ? I was planning on getting an 8.5 for these and taller trucks, so I could have an overall bigger setup.
An 8.5 deck will work well with these. The wheels do stick out about a 1/4 inch past the axle nut (just the shape of the wheel🤷♂️) , so if you have 8.5 trucks with the 8.5 board, the wheels will stick out very slightly past the edge of the deck. I have these wheels on my cruiser and they stick out a little bit, but it doesn't affect me at all. 👍 Stay safe out there! - Tim
Im deciding to get the 55mm Oj Mini super juice wheels or the 55m bones ATF rough riders. Anyone have suggestions for cruising? or used both before? as my area is quite rough for skating.
I had the bones rough riders last year and they chunked up Hella bad but I was riding a lot in rough ass terrain I just got the oj wheels today so I can't tell you which is better but the rough riders will fall apart fairly fast in my opinion. To their credit they never stopped rolling though even when they had about half of the wheels gone and ripped away 🤣
It just depends on how crusty the ground is where you live. If its super crust, then go with the 60mm with some 1/8 inch risers. But if the ground is decent and you just want a buttery ride, then go with the 55mm. They're both awesome wheels! Cheers! - Tim
Both are good cruiser options. If you're looking for just transportation only, then the Super Juices all the way. But if you're wanting a wheel that's not too heavy and you can still do flip tricks with, then the Clouds are pretty prime for that. - Tim
anyone ever put these wheels 55mm or 60mm on a krooked zip zinger board? i've been having that deck for years, i need to finally order some cruiser type wheels and slap em on there and start cruisin' !
Not really, they're super fast, soft, and have a smooth skin, so they grip well and don't slide like a buttery longboard wheel or anything like that. After you break them in you could probably force a slide, but they're not great for it. 👍 - Tim
