Free Wheel – Thoughts – 70mm/79a
Don’t worry – the Free Thoughts wont get you on the “no fly list”, but they will definitely open up eyes to many slipping and sliding possibilities. But once you get into free thinking, you might find it hard to stop. The platinum thane acts unlike almost all other wheels. It slides like no bodies business and doesn’t leave thane lines at all. Which means that these radical shred balls last a LONG TIME. Not something that many freeride wheels can boast about. In any case – let the skating speak for itself and check out our review!

Pantheon Sliders wheels are on the menu! The Sliders are a 66mm slide wheel that prioritize grip and feedback and a high value, long lasting slidey experience. These wheels are an expression of what we think is important in a smaller wheel, solving some of the issues that we find pretty typical of smaller wheels. Usually, wheels in the 65mm range have a bit of a rough ride due to shallow urethane depth as a result of using one of a couple stock freeride cores available at most wheel manufacturing facilities.
We prioritized feedback and longevity with this design by designing a custom core. The core features peaks and valleys that you might be accustomed to seeing in much larger downhill wheel cores, helping the urethane to stay on the hub and provide for consistent wear across the contact patch. But we did it with a core that is only slightly over 35mm in diameter, meaning you get a lot of urethane depth to play with and more bang for your buck. On the Sliders, that’s a whopping 15.4mm of urethane depth. This is actually a more standard urethane depth when compared to most 70mm slide wheels. That’s a lot of wheel. This pays you back in longevity, and it also makes the wheels feel super plush underfoot.
Lastly, the Sliders come with skin. Our manufacturing methods result in no mold release on these wheels, so you don’t have to wash them with soap to get them feeling right. The 74a are quite grippy out of the box and even suitable for a Surfskate deck, while the 78a are a touch easier to get sliding right away. And because they have a wider contact patch than many wheels of similar size, they offer quite a bit of mechanical grip. This results in a nice, in-the-pavement feeling slide with decent stopping power. These are not what some would call “cheater wheels.” They are built to do the job of slowing you down when you need to cut speed, and they will reliably hold you on the pavement when you need them to.
