Being super hard, if you find they let go on smooth surfaces or feel unpleasant on rougher terrain, switch back to the 99A models. There are no hard and fast rules, best to try out different wheels and select what works best for you.

This is handy when you slide your wheel often particularly in urban terrain that can wear your wheels in an uneven way. |
