Are Kegels right for you?Having trouble containing yourself after a hearty feast? Can’t quite seem to raise the drawbridge all the way? Is it time to tighten up the honey pot now that baby bear got outta there? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, it may be time to consider making Kegels a part of your personal workout regimen.How do they ride?The Orangatang Kegel is your ticket to high-speed steamroller action and the obliteration of a variety of small mammals. The large 80mm diameter generates high roll speeds while a moderate width of 56 mm allows for a versatile balance of traction and slide response. A cantilevered outer lip with a straight profile is pliable enough to hug the road for grip while also ensuring consistent performance as the wheel wears. The shorter inner lip features a subtle inward bevel for race-worthy traction and predictable drifts. A fully-exposed 46mm core with a deep “valley”-shaped cross section reduces weight while providing good acceleration, lots of momentum, and crisp slides.Which urethane formula?The Kegel is poured in our proprietary Happy Thane formula for high roll speed, excellent traction, and smooth, predictable drifts.What's included?A set of four (4) longboard skateboard wheels.About OrangatangOrangatang Wheels was hatched in 2008 as a means of advocating for the civil liberties of the indigenous river capybaras of Southern California. We also gained international praise in 2009 for our brief and completely unrelated foray into exotic animal jerky manufacturing and wholesale.

Amazing
First time using wheels that aren't unbranded generics, these are amazing paired with the Jehu V2 bearings and Venom Eliminator bushings. Very smooth ride and very fast.edit: I've been using the wheels and Jehu V2 bearings for three months now, and they still hold up great. The difference these wheels and bearing have made on my daily commute is enourmous. The wheels roll over every crack, bump, and rock without being stopped. The wheels are starting to get a little chewed up but that's expected with such a soft wheel. If you longboard multiple times a week or even daily, buy these wheels and the Jehu bearings with them. Will be stockpiling sets for when my first set wears out. AWESOME PRODUCT!!

These are my 4th set of O'tangs 1st set of Kegel's and they did not disappoint. I mounted them on my Longboard Larry Pusher ...
You cannot go wrong with a set of O'tangs!!! These are my 4th set of O'tangs 1st set of Kegel's and they did not disappoint. I mounted them on my Longboard Larry Pusher 2.0 and took on this year's 24 Hour Ultraskate at the Homestead Motor Speedway. 119 miles later they were like new, and of course roll and roll and roll even when I didn't want to push, push, push. Love them!!!

STEAMROLLERS!
These wheels are HUGE. I do get more distance than i did on my In heat orangutangs. I use bones super reds as well and now I can cruise much easier. Just now messing with different bushings to see which ones i like to use. Got the orangatang nipples yellow and purple ones and so far yellow ones are much sturdier but not as easy to make turns in with the older bushings i had that look like a cone. Anyways going offtopic here, wheels are badass and well worth the cash.

For these, light speed is the best speed.
They only miss the fifth star because they're not really intended for my riding style.Great wheels.First thing: I've only been riding on these wheels for 5 days. Also, I commute a lot on longboards so take that into mind while considering my feelings about these wheels. It is easy to tell that going fast is the wheels true intended purpose, but I live in Florida, so I don't really do that. These are great, though, because they roll over any kind of rough road and it almost feels like other wheels do rolling over decent roads. Maybe even better than that is the fact that they roll for forever and a half. They don't break traction unless until going really fast. As one who rides alongside traffic, I need to be able to slide to slow down easily. I have some In Heats that aren't exactly sliding wheels, but they slide easier than these. With that said, if you want wheels that are super planted then these are the wheels for you. I may end up putting these on another board and my In Heats back on my commuter-board, but I can't fully judge which are better until these are nice and broken in.Orangatangs are the best.

Good Looking Wheels That Go
I recently purchased these wheels, because I wanted to increase my wheel size from 70mm to 80mm. I am very pleased with the Orangatang wheels thus far. They don't seem overly grippy nor do they slide all over the place. It's important to note that larger wheels such as these accelerate more slowly but have a higher top speed. I feel the distance I can roll without pushing has increased in certain scenarios with the larger wheels as well. Quality seems good and durability too. And did I mention, these things look awesome!

Awesome wheels!
They have a really good roll speed and the ride is smooth. I still haven't slide them yet, only a little bit because due to an emergency brake at a relative low speed, and they were chattery because of the smooth surface of the wheels. I've been trying to keep them fresh waiting for a good downhill session due to the amazing grip they have when fresh. I've read really good comments about the slide on these wheels, but only once the smooth surface is worn, same as every downhill wheels. I would totally recommend these wheels for cruising. It's roll is awesome in bad surfaces and over cracks or irregularities. I think that O-tang's thane is only surpassed by RAD wheels thane, but only O-tang have wheels of this size and with such a good qualities: Awesome slide along with awesome grip. TOTALLY recommended.

They Roll forever
Have only used them a few miles. No big hills yet. Paired them with bones swiss bearings. With a few kickes I can coast nearly a quarter mile on the flats. And they roll over anything.Bought these to replace krypto classics which I was happy with. These feel far superior with the right amount of grip. I weigh 195 and thought about going harder but very happy I stuck with 80a for how I ride.

Great wheels, I never regretted
I recently upgrade my wheels on my loaded Icarus board from the orangatang 4 president wheels. The feeling is totally different, and these nice wheels saved a lot of my energy on pushing, and pumping too! I love them. They work perfectly on my Paris v2 truck with an upgraded orangatang nipple bushing without wheel-bite.

As expected from Orangatang
These wheels roll like a tank on just about anything, even grass, gravel or dry mud. Perfect for downhill or long distance. Seem durable too. Get them from Kate's skates for good price and fast delivery.

Absolutely spot on, cheers
Really nice, very fast

Ein echtes Upgrade!
Die Rollen sind großartig und haben mir ein breites Grinzen ins Gesicht gebracht! Ich habe die Rollen auf mein Madrid Mountain gegen die vorhandenen Cadillac TWO 70mm getauscht und habe jetzt (bei Verwendung der alten Kugellager) ungefähr eine Verdoppelung der Rollweite und deutliche Steigerung der Geschwindigkeit erreicht.Die Rollen sind vom Preis zwar ca 30 Prozent teurer als Standartrollen, machen das Board aber auch zu einer Rennmaschine.
