Cyko's little round guys...

[DannyG]

The Nations-Tobin Polar Bears of El Paso, Texas would like to highly recommend the new Cyko series of wheels to any and all. Agility, grip, stopping/acceleration, all have performed with an excellent rating. Skylier, Caitlin, and myself have each worn a set for over 20 hours of play, in three divisions of league participation each. I have used the yellow, 76a set, and Caitlin and Skylier have used the 74a blue sets. In all three cases, our skating performance was (we all thought) enhanced by the wheels. Changes of direction, stopping, changing speeds, all of us felt we were able to move at a better clip than before with our variant models of old wheels. Caitlin compared then favorably to her millennium purple set...

Skylier is an elite-level, pro-caliber 19 year old. Caitlin is a 13 year old advanced defender. I am an intermediate 50 year old defender. (BUT, hey! USAHIL has announced a 50&O diviison at the 2004 nationals!)

We will definitely be purchasing these wheels for our next set, and we recommend them to all ages and skill levels of players...

Did I note that Mike is supporting IHC with a commission/donation, and that the 8 wheel set is less than $40???

If you get these wheels, you will be very happy...

Thanks for the review, I trust that they are good wheels coming from you Danny. But $40? Thats almost as much as your skates! lol

[almostheroes]

Thanks for the test Danny. I did not want to brag about the wheels until someone else on IHC member tested them. My son has been on the CYKO Blue Ice (indoor 74a) and the CYKO Fire (outdoor 83a) and has noticed better performance. So remember the Inline Hockey Main page on the wild wheel deal and be able to get some great wheels at a low cost to you and be able to support the site in turn.
Thanks Mike

Yeah, one of the added benefits of obtaining the Cyko wheel set is that my Stubbies just doubled in value to $80 for both feet...

Oh, yeah, with the Dr. Schol's hypergel orthotic inserts, I am now officially skating in the first pair of $100 Stubbies in the country!

Good thing we've hashed out the it's-rocket-science-so-who-needs-to-care-about-bearings here on IHC, or these Stubbies could be getting real expensive!!

[missionhockey21]

At that cost, I might considering getting a pair when I need some outdoor wheels.

[missionhockey21]

Danny is becoming quite the big spender, but thats probably one of the nicest pairs of $100 skates ever.

[almostheroes]

Mission just tell me when you want them remember if your skating on hot ashphalt drop down to our venom series wheels.

[missionhockey21]

Ok, but I think for the most part this summer I wont be skating on asphalt.

[Yekcoh]

Just a question. Please forgive me for being ignorant.

If I order a set, how do I pay for it?

[kaptainkrunch408]

paypal i believe

Hi Danny,

Thanks for the detailed review. I appreciate it. I'm glad to know that the wheels were worth purchasing. Keep rolling! /wtimages/icons/smile.gif

Skylier specifically reports that he likes the little blue guys better than even his old trinities...not the new trinities, however, but definitely the old trinities. He is really impressed with the price-to-pereformance ratio, noting that the $40 blue guys perform as well as the $80-$110 high performance guys.

[missionhockey21]

Sounds good, I am going to have to try them out.

[sactosaxons]

To those of you still debating whether to order Cyko's:

DO IT!!!!

My son, a 6'1", 210 lb. elite-level player put a set on earlier this week. He's impressed with them - grip on stops, starts, strides - likes the feel - so far they perform just as well as those wheels that cost twice as much.

And these are the only ones that also support this great IHC site. When was the last time you bought a set of decent wheels for $38??? Might I suggest you do as I did and simplify your financial records by sending an even $40 and IHC will benefit by an additional $2?

And on top of all that, the blue ones are an amazing blue!!!!

[missionhockey21]

I havent heard one negative review about thme yet, it might be the best wheels that no one has heard of. lol

[RichardGraham]

Hi Joy,

Thanks for the kind words. I'm really glad to know that the wheels are of good quality and that your son likes them!

Remember Cyko Wheels.......

[fromonkey]

Is the deal on these wheels still going on?

Also any updates on how these wheels worked for you folks?

I'm in need of some replacement wheels pretty soon.

[DennyG]

Caitlin & I just put new little blue guys on yesterday...$38 for the set, these are really high performance for that price ratio...

I am not used to the touch of 74 durometer yet, but I find that the softer-than-usual-for-me is letting me stop better on my "off," weaker stopping foot, an unexpected benefit...

I can also attest that new wheels roll better than old, used wheels, even if my previous set was Cyko's little yellow guys...

[sactosaxons]

Here I go again!! My 6'1", 220 lb. 18 year old who plays high level hockey and refs 5-6 hrs. per week has had the blue ones on since last June I believe (so long ago I don't remember exactly!). Last week I finally heard him say he needs new wheels. Never in a million years or at least the past 10 years he's played has a set worn as uniformly or lasted this long. That $38 is hands-down by far the best money we've ever spent on any hockey equipment. Geez... if they'd lasted half as long it still would've been a good deal.

Joy Thanks for all your kind words. When you order another pair tell me what type of abec bearing your son would like to try. Thanks from Almostheroes and Cyko wheels
