Hey, so I just destroyed my first stock one wall front rim. I need a new one. Can someone explain the difference between female axles and male and what's better? I'd be using it for park and street with pegs. Should I custom build one? Or stock? Preferred color scheme is purple and white if you post a link. Thanks for any help!

If you're truly a beginner, any female front hub will do. Female front hubs are usually at least average-end parts at the lowest. Female front hubs were mad to even out the force when grinding, so the single axle wouldn't bend all to hell or snap. Female front hubs use an inner axle and separate axle bolts so there is a VERY low chance of bending anything unless you continue on to grind real hard.

@Mikel8149 That's what I've heard. I have only been biking about 2 months and can only do basic tricks like barspins and 360's but that still dented and warped my rim. Are they durable? I don't want to be buying new wheels every 2 months.
@isnowyaznV2 OK, thanks for the info

Any gsport, an odyssey 7ka or hazard lite, shadow corvus or stun, animal RS, primo balance are all good rims I only know for a fact that the RS, stun, and corvus come in purple, though the others are super good too. For the front hubs I'd say get the primo n4fl v2, the raptor, javelin and the madera are all front hubs i've ridden. great hubs, though I'd recommend the a little more since it comes with hub guards already. Now if you want a stock wheel already built, Shadow, and primo offer great wheels for $160 or less.

I've been riding for 7 months and I can only manual, bunny hop, somewhat 180, and kind of do a turn down. You must get to ride a lot. I wish I could ride that much.
