Equipment Reviews How long have you ridden them?: A few months off an on...mostly off...What Setup are you running them on?: I have a 57" plank I will pretend is a blank due to shame. A mixed bag of bearings, about half are Sawblade "Abec 7" (doubt it) and the rest are generic Abec 5'sTypical Discepline?: Just cruisingHow much did you pay for them?: Came with the board.Where did you buy them?: That would be the shame...What are their weaknesses?: Ugly. Not just unattractive. They look bad. Expensive to replace the bushing. I also am not a huge fan of the way they attach. The baseplate has threaded holes, but they don't go all the way through. The mounting hardware screws directly into the baseplate and if you bottom out...get a riser. If you don't...well I hope you measured well. Also, this means you don't get the benefit of nylocking your hardware on--and need a screwdriver to be sure you aren't coming loose.The kingpin attachment...well, the head isn't exposed. It's in a flipped position like your Randal kingpin should be. BUT it's an 8mm kingpin. So like the Grizzly, you only need one socket. But unlike the Grizzly...I don't think this is a good thing.Honestly, I was expecting something a bit turnier--but it is a 57" board...What are their strengths?: My bushing is pretty stiff. Feels about like a R2 180 with red bushings--maybe a little stiffer. Has about the same level of progression and rebound. When you're on your board, the uglyness isn't as bothersome.Making a 57" board turn in a way that reminds you of Randals on a 41" board (Not as good as, but kinda reminds you of) isn't a bad thing.Use the same nut for the kingpin as the axles.What similar equipment have you ridden?: Similar feel to R2's with the stiffest Randal bushing.Would you recommend them?:
No
