Lastly, they made the wheel prone to cracking and flat spots, and this is a plus for every skateboarder.
I'm pretty sure that's a typo.

They are alright, I've never skated a pair of them myself, but I have ridden them once.
I like ricta wheels alot, even if a pricy fee, its still worth it.

I have the purple super crystals, they're plenty hard, and I haven't had any flatspots at all, I've had them for 6 months. They aren't hard to get the bearings, in or out of at all. They're deffinately the best wheels I've ever had.
