Reflex 9113. Very hard to find!

Wheel guide says I need replacement wheel #5022 or 7003.

Found 7003 here, but out of stock:
http://123skateboard.stores.yahoo.net/heab7frewh.html
http://www.bwild.com/heab7frewh.html
http://www.skate-buys.com/fwhkitablgsi.html

Only place in stock:
Link

I'm too scared to order that one, cuz it has a Mega picture and lists Abec 5 under description. Also doesn't say 7003 anywhere.

Google for Heelys Fats Large instead. That's what the 7003 is.

Just one of the many, many links.

Finding the Reflex-specific "Mini Mega" model that it comes with though... that's a challenge. But the standard Fats Large will fit your wheel sockets perfectly. Smile

Slicer,

I'll trust you and order these. Because 1.) You're Site Admin so you know what you're talking about and 2.) It says 7003. But, I did find this link earlier and it stats in bold: All Models EXCEPT the Reflex 9113/9114 Shocked

LOL!! I'm guessing they might mean it's not the original wheel like you're saying. But if they fit, they may want to mention that. Laughing

And what is so special about the original Reflex wheels??

Grr... just more misinformation being passed from retailer to retailer. Yeah, I see what you're saying. I hate that.

The Official Wheel Chart says it's okay, and Bonkers says that he's got regular FATS in his Reflexes now.

Also the products you linked to are the exact same as the one I linked to.

I feel bad cuz my original wheels are probably already dirty and messed up. I wish I had ordered the original fats along with my shoes. That way, I could keep original reflex wheels for only clean places.

Oh well, how slow could abec 7 be...

lol slicer is the least heelys model informed and tricks capable on here only reason he's admin is because he is a comp. geek.

if you want i'll double check on the wheel thing although they most likely are interchangeable

The 7003 Abec 7 Fats are good wheels. Those are the replacement wheels I bought for my Shredders.

Abec 7 are the wheels used in the reflex............so the real question is what is the major difference beteen clear abec 7's and black abec 7's?

I'm hoping they are the same. But if there is a difference, I'm thinking these are the possibilities:

1.) Whatever makes the wheel black, could rub off on floors and leave marks? I doubt this...
2.) The black wheel isn't as fast? But if that's the case, how much slower could it possibly be? The clear wheels are 688 microbearings, maybe the black wheels are 608 microbearings?

But I don't know the difference between 608/688... Crying or Very sad

I had a hard time finding some replacement FATs Large wheels.

I eventually found some at "the finish line." The first salesman said "that's all we have" and pointed to a rack... which had only small and mediums. ANOTHER salesman looked in the back, and found some, with ABEC 5 being the best they had... I bought an extra set, just in case.

Online stores have mostly small/medium but I found large both abec 5 and 7.

ABEC 5 = $20
ABEC 7 = $25

I ordered one of both. Wink
