I’ve been wanting to upgrade the wheels on my lonboard, which is a Sector 9 Bambino, for quite some time, and that time has finally come. I felt that the 61mm S9 Nineballs that were originally installed on the board did not give the power to escape road cracks that I desired. It’s all gonna be different now. After a decent amount of research, I’ve decided the wheels that suit my needs are the 76 mm Abec 11 Gumballs. Today, I finally picked up myself a set at Skates on Haight.

Here is the original setup and look of the board:
Wheels: Sector 9 61mm/78 Nineball Wheels Bearings: abec 5 Greasball bearings

Here are the new parts:

Wheels: 76mm/78a Abec 11 Gumballs Bearings: Bones Reds Precision Skate with Khiro Speed Rings 8/pack

And here is the new look. Try and tell me this doesn’t look badass! I will be testing this out tomorrow, we’ll see how it goes! Keep it here for more details.
