Riding Pantheon Karma Wheels on Pranayama Longboard 

The Karmas are actually softer at 74a :D but I have both of them too, check the lips on the speedvents, they feel way softer than the Karmas! But I see your perspective. Still the speedvents are truly great wheels! Thanks for sharing!

@@skate-horizons I know the polyurethane itself is softer on the Karmas. Yet they also have a larger core, i.e., thinner polyurethane layer than the Speed Vents. And, as you say, the extended lips on the Speed Vents add to that. 👍

Prana is even fine on steeper hills, I mean people bomb hills on a regular skateboard. RKP is preferred but not mandatory. You will love the pranayama ;)

@@skate-horizons thanks for the reply :)

Hey, for hills, always RKP over TKP. That should not mean, that you cant but its preferred! The Tkps on the Pranayama feel very playful, what I like, but the trip is the more functional longboard!

I have both boards but don't have Karma wheels, I have what came stock at the time on them both. McFly's on Pran and Caguama on the Trip. As much as I love my Trip I will say for running around on city streets the Pran feels more nimble and responsive to small inputs and is fun even on river trails if you like to carve about. I haven't done any real steep hills on either but I don't think you should ever feel like you're missing out if you chose the Pran. It's been every bit as stable on what I ride but does handle more sporty than the trip.

@@ONEBADZ That checks out. Paul Kent used the trip for his ultra Trips. I think the RKPs have a little more reliable behaviour!

Hey there, I wouldn't worry about weight on those wheels. They will feel pretty good regardless! As Long as the deck and Bushings are decent you are gonna be fine!

It's about 3.8 - 4 kgs!

​@@skate-horizonsif you find the time can you measure it axactly please😄

Ah man, I just had them on another Deck :D But I managed to do it anyway ;) The Deck itself is 1575g. One Truck is 1754g (Truck+bushings+Hardware+ 2 Wheels 278g each) 3723g is the complete weight for this setup in the Video ;)

​@@skate-horizonsyour the man!!! Thx for this detailed measurement!! When i will upload my setup with all the details i will send you a msg. Thx again

I know what you mean, at the extremes, its still possible. Not Something you are likely gonna get from a mini cruiser.

@@skate-horizons It depends on the individual I guess. I like my boards carvy. Right now I'm running Riptide double street cones; 87.5a roadside, 90a boardside. It gets close enough in some carves to make me nervous and I can even make the board stop if I really dig into a carve. That's why I'm considering Speed Vents to ease my mind. Someone who runs harder bushings or even barrels may not need to worry.

Sand the board down a bit then clear coat it. Fixed.
