New wheels can significantly impact your ride, altering how your scooter feels, handles, and responds. The right wheels can make your scooter feel nearly new again. Prior to purchasing, ensure compatibility with your setup. Below, we've provided straightforward answers to frequently asked questions regarding stunt scooter wheels.
Stunt Scooter Wheels: Ensuring Compatibility
To ensure a stunt scooter wheel fits your setup, consider two key dimensions: diameter and core width. The standard dimensions for stunt scooter wheels are a diameter of 110 mm and cores 24 mm wide.
Wheel Diameter
If the diameter of the wheels exceeds what your deck and fork can accommodate, they won't fit. Adequate space is necessary for wheel rotation. Smaller diameters are fine if they fall within the fork and deck's maximum limit.
⇒ Verify that your fork and deck can support the chosen wheel diameter.
Wheel Width
The core width cannot surpass the maximum width allowed by your fork and deck. Narrower wheels can use spacers to fill any excess space.
⇒ Ensure your fork and deck are compatible with the selected wheel width.
12STD Wheels
12STD wheels demand a 12STD-compatible fork and deck, using a 12 mm axle and 6001 bearings, as opposed to the standard 608 bearings with 8 mm axle holes.
⇒ Only opt for 12STD wheels if your fork and deck are 12STD compatible.
Stunt Scooter Wheel Features (and How They Enhance Your Ride)
Several technical aspects should be considered when selecting new stunt scooter wheels, each influencing your scooter's responsiveness.
Wheel Diameter
- Larger wheels offer greater speed and stability
- Smaller wheels are lightweight and more manoeuvrable
Wheel Width
- Wider wheels provide more grip
- Narrower wheels are swifter, though offer less grip
Wheel Profile
- Flat profiles offer increased grip and stability
- Narrow profiles provide more speed and agility
- Round profiles strike a balance between flat and narrow types
Core Material
- Aluminium cores are robust and ideal for tricks
- Nylon cores are lighter, suitable for novices and children (not suited for tricks)
Core Design
- Solid core – Extremely durable, albeit heavier.
- Hollow core – Strong yet lighter than solid cores
- Spoked core – Both strong and lightweight
- Perforated core – Balances low weight with performance.
If durability tops your priorities, solid cores are the choice. Beyond that, selecting a core design is largely an aesthetic decision.
Wheel Hardness
- Harder urethane lasts longer but grips less
- Softer urethane offers more traction but wears quicker
Typical hardness range is 84A - 90A on the durometer scale.
When to Replace Your Stunt Scooter Wheels
Worn wheels hinder performance. If you're unsure when to replace your stunt scooter wheels, watch for these signs:
- Cracks in the rubber
- Flat patches
- Damage to cores
These indicate it's time for an upgrade. New wheels at this point will enhance your scooter's feel.
Frequent users might need wheel replacements every few months, while casual riders may extend their lifespan.
Should Both Scooter Wheels Be Replaced Simultaneously?
Simultaneously replacing both wheels enhances balance between front and rear, ensuring steady performance.
Replace both wheels if:
- Both are worn or have flat patches
- Consistent front and rear performance is desired
- You are changing to a different type or hardness
Replace one wheel if:
- Only one wheel is damaged
- The same wheel type is being replaced
