"I've had a pair of purple Legals for 10 years now. They are now about 75mm now not still going strong. I have a pair on my Icarus with some 48*Atlas trucks. Makes for a super flowy stable ride. As my experience with all O-tang wheels the are really comfortable to ride."
"Ordered these with a complete. The wheels are so soft and grip well! They are comfortable for cruising in the city and parks and even roads. But I ran into a problem after owning them a little over a month (about 7 rides in) and that is that they are easy to tear. While riding down a road and making a fast turn, one of my wheels ripped a bit. Maybe the pavement was too rough but I did expect a little more durability from orangatang wheels."
"I really love my Kegels on Dervish Sama. The cruising feeling that this board has when pushing and carving is awesome. Unfortunately I was very disappointed by the durability of this wheels. I am talking about the orange and now especially about the blue ones. When I saw the inner lip of the orange ones craked after several wheeks of cruising, I thought that I had rolled over some broken glass. But after not only a week of using the blue ones the inner lip was distroyed on several areas (1 cm of it) after getting over a 3cm curb (especially on one wheel). That was sooo disappointing. Using orange Kaguamas or Durian I have never experienced something like this in years. I also noticed air bubles in my blue Kegels...I noticed that Kaguamas came with a rounder lip than Kegels and maybe it's good to have a round lip on this wheels to. I love the boards that you make Loaded (I also have a Tan Tien) but this is very very disappointing. Maybe something is getting away from your quality control. Please resolve this."
"The Short is that they are just as fast and grippy as anything else comparable, but last way longer than anything else. Meaning more runs for you money. To get more detailed here goes. Most riders agree that most wheels start to lose a bit of traction (scrub) at Maryhill after 3-6 runs. However the Kegels will last all day up to a dozen plus runs and feel the same as the first few without scrubbing out. I'm not sure if it's the design of the core or the formula of the thane or both that allows for that. But I'm a big fan of durability if I don't have to sacrifice performance at all. I mainly use the 80a Orange Happy Thane most of the time at Maryhill being a solid 185 pound rider. However recently I've had the opportunity to use the Blue 77a. To me they feel exactly the same as the 80a in most conditions at Maryhill. However I've now been using them in high tail wind runs down Maryhill when I've had an extra 10-20 mph of speed coming in hot around 45-50 mph into some of those corners. The Orange never failed me in those situations but the Blue 77a seem to hold on even more vice like. This makes me feel like they would never ever drift away, and they haven't so far under 6 runs. The only downside is that the Blue 77a thane is not as durable over time vs the Orange 80a. So I save my Blue's for those more rare extreme downhill wind runs. And ride the 80a longer lasting version the majority of the time."
"I got the 83a durometer. Great hill bomb wheels! These wheels on my DH board flew down the hills. They are pretty grippy in corners but still pretty easy to kick out when needed. They will roll over the roughest pavement and have less board vibration than other wheels! Slides are controllable and buttery. After broken in I installed on my cruiser board. The ride is super cushy and comfortable! Rolls over all kinds of things that would have tossed you without these wheels. You NEED to try these too!"
"These wheels offer an amazing ride which instills confidence when carving hard or bombing a hill. The 80a durometer is just right for cruising around or trying to go fast. Would absolutely recommend."
"I got those for my cruising board, and they are amazing! Really smooth and grippy, they're worth every penny."
"This wheels are the most amazing downhill wheel I've tried so far. They're fast af, pretty grippy but when you slide it goes smooooth. Once broken in they'll work for DH but you can try em for some fast Freeride given the type of urethane. If you're not into downhill but you're all about cruising and pumping then this is what you're looking for! Fast, smooth, squishy and beautiful! I've tried the 80a only and I love em! Took em down on my Loaded Truncated and I went FAST, also took em around in my Icarus and they were all I expected. Totally recommended! :)"
"Great wheels on any deck including electric, downhill, and carving. would recommend the 77a variety."
"Used these wheels (80a) on a long distance pushing double drop deck for quite a while and can honestly say that they are my favorite big wheels for it. The exposed core keeps them light, they grip well, they roll fast and, most importantly, roll over anything in your way. They'd be an excellent choice for an E-board or anyone looking to push fast and comfortably from point A to point B !"
