Muff's Modules & More

Muff Wiggler

Ok, I'm hoping maybe the Wiggler nation can help me out.

I've learned that Santa Cruz has done a limited reissue run of the classic Bullet 66 wheels.

Sadly all online stores I can find are sold out.

If anyone can find me a set (or ideally two sets) of the *exact* wheels pictured here (66mm, 95a) I will not only pay you back for all incurred expenses, I will also be so eternally grateful that I will find something really cool to do for you as well, and will owe you forever.

I am so stoked that these are available again, and so unbelievably bummed that it seems I can't have some.

A bazillion thanks to anyone who can help.

Ps. I'll happily settle for the 92a's if you can't find the 95's. Really any brand new set of Bullet 66's would make me so happy I can't even explain it. Thx.

Wow, memories.
My family owned a skateshop from '76 till around '99.
I totally grew up on that shit! I'll look around too.

Just put in a call, he'll get back to me and I'll let you know asap.
Our shop was called ShadySkates BTW

These any good? If they don't ship to your side of the planet, I can pick them up and then send them your way, Muff.

I just called 10 shops and couldn't find em, lots of OJ's reissues though...

Ill keep looking. I check NHS which is the distributor for Santa Cruz and didn't see them anywhere. How long ago were they released?

Thanks so much guys!! Bullet 66 is the only wheel I rode back in the day and I've been slumming it on inferior crap wheels for years now and missing the Bullets so badly. Best wheel ever.

Polyroy I would be worried about 'new old stock' as the urethane would have dried out over the years - which is why I was so stoked to hear about the reissues using the same mold as the originals.

Thanks!!

I've found a shop in London that says they have them. I'll ring them after work tomorrow to check prices/availability, as it's not listed on their website.

Way cool, I figured you must be a cool guy to have created and maintained a place like this. But obsessing over reissue bullets, my kinda guy! I'll have a look in town for you and see what I can do. I may have a real vintage set of T bones kicking around if my wife didn't pitch them when I wasn't looking. I am riding an old set mini rats I found burried amongsty giant pile of crap I have horded since childhood.
I'll do my best to find some bullets.

I'll check Local 124 here in town... They usually have some pretty good stuff, and they're only a few blocks from where I live anyways.

None of the big 5 ATL skate shops carry them. Sorry man.

No answer from that shop yet, Muff. Will try again tomorrow. If they have them in stock, shall I just go ahead and pick them up?
