Hi,
I recently got my RB Lightning II's (they're a great fit! - see my earlier question). Unfortunately, I only got out on them a couple of times before the snow hit (I'm in MA). My wife wants to get me something for XMas and I was thinking of a new wheel/bearings set for down the road (since she wants to get me something). I've looked through most of the posts, and notice you guys really recommend the Bones Swiss bearings and Matter Wheels. Here's my question: You seem to have a really sweet deal on the Hyper Hyperperformance G (at $6.00 per wheel). At that price, would you still recommend the Matter wheels? If so, the RB wheels I've got are 84A, and I don't think I'd want softer. Would the Matter Natural therefore be the right choice for me (I'm mostly on asphalt roads)? On the bearings, the $65 Swiss Bones seem to be your preference. Will I see much improvement over the SG9's in my Lightning II's?
Thanks for your great service on the skates, and thanks for hosting these great forums.
