zig zag 66mm vs cambrias for tight slalom

Post by Sebastien Leger » Sun Dec 03, 2006 3:09 pm

I was wondering if some TS specialist could help me on this one ?

Is there a big difference between them ? In quality ? better urathene or reflex formula ?
The cambrias are narrower and smaller 62mm by 42mm and the zig's are a li'l bigger 66mm by ??

witch one of these two wheels, grip more, are faster, best for TS not Hybrid TS
Let me know what you personnel experience is...

Thanks

Which wheel

Sebastian, I'd go with Zig Zags for speed, and be aware that in grip, Zig Zags can run a few duro points harder than Cambrias. They're also reverisble for more even wear, though 'Coning' can improve grip (well, to a point). The one advantage the Cambria may still hold is in it's lesser rolling inertia. Being lighter, it does change direction a bit quicker, but I feel the increase in rolling speed and grip would still make the Zig Zags my preference.

I've relegated my Cambrias to vintage rides or cruising awhile ago, along with my Stingers, Stradas, and LaCostas.
