Bones One Hundreds Wheels

The Bottom Line

If you are looking for good wheels at a good price, Bones One Hundreds will work great. Bones has been making wheels for over 25 years, so they know what they are doing, and make good stuff. If you want to spend a little more, you can get Bones SPFs, which are a lot better, but they do cost around 30% more. Bones One Hundres are a good idea if you are on a budget but still want quality wheels that look good.
Pros
  • Quality Bones Wheels for a cheaper price
Cons
  • The cheapest wheels made my Bones, they don't have any cool features

Guide Review - Wheels - Bones One Hundreds

Bones One Hundreds are called "one hundreds" because they all have a durometer of 100. Durometer is a measurement of how hard the wheels are - the higher the number, the stronger the wheels. A durometer of 100 is good for street riding, and they should last a reasonable amount of time.

Bones One Hundreds are treadless, and made from Bones Wheels' urethane formula. Bones does have a special SPF formula that promises great things - but you pay more for higher quality. Bones One Hundreds give you a good level of quality at a reasonable price.

But you might ask if you should just pay more for better wheels. I think that if you are a serious skater, and you have issues with regular wheels, like flatspotting or wearing them out too fast, you may want to upgrade to better wheels. However, if you are a regular skater, you don't need things like that, and I'm all about saving money anywhere you can. The deal is, Bones One Hundreds are a good looking, quality wheels for a lot cheaper than pro wheels or specialty wheels. They ride just fine, and I haven't had any trouble with them at all. If you are looking for a good set of wheels and bearings at a cheap price, and don't want to buy no-name crud that will wear out, bust or better yet do something freaky and toss you off your board, a combo set of Bones One Hundreds Wheels and Bones REDS bearings is a great idea. Good for just starting out, and for the veteran skater that values getting the most from his or her money.
