I use a Hi-Lo setup of Labeda Grippers on my front two wheels and Labeda Milleniums on my back two. I've heard a new wheel that's "all the rage" so to speak. Labed Dynasties. I don't know anything about them other than that are $11.00/wheel. Ouch! That's $90 for a set. Anyone else heard of them?

I've got Dynasties. There a lot like Milleniums except they last a hell of a lot longer. My Milleniums used to last 3-4 weeks tops, but I've had my Dynasties about 6 weeks so far and they grip as good as when I first put them on. And if you look around on the net you can get them for $8-9/wheel. Well worth the price if you ask me.

Hyper Trinity. Still the best. Been through them all. 73A durometer, on a clean surface, and rarely chips away like Labeda's tend to do. Just make sure you take proper care of them. (YES, there is a way to care for your wheels)

Sweet, thanks for the info. I will look on eBay or some online shops for them, unless my local shops have them. I bought a new set of Milleniums/Grippers for a tourney this past weekendand after about 8 games (one game without subs), they are pretty much shredded to hell. I love Labeda wheels, especially the Milleniums, but the durabilityfactor is the one con.

Red Star Snipers are my favorites

I have used Parabolics for over 100 games and they are as good as when they were new. They also are specially contoured to help you make tighter turns. For what I spent on my wheels, I am completly satisfied with the results that I have been getting.
