I guess there aren't many ricers where you live.

but many dead hookers...

74a Reflex thane. that is all.

I was thinking about the race track. On the street it doesn't matter if I see an RSX, a WRX or a 240sx. They're all driving too slow for a rear wing to make a difference.

But lets not get off topic here.

I've just noticed the lettering on the grippins has RIP colored differently than the rest of the word. As if to suggests that these grip AND rip. Ingenious

Chaput is on tv. Highschool reunions ftw.

...he is. Was that sarcasm haha?

what is the size difference between a frye bushing and a Compatible bushing? can i get a specific measurement of size, being diameter, and height. thank you.

i just gotta crop out my hand and this version is better

my version

I can't wait to get mine onto a new board......

[SpeedFiend]

are the wheels in that picture supported by anything?

odd gravitational forces at work there

Same cat from your AV? If so, that's a good looking cat.

I had the avatar and then I got that cat.

His name is Linguini and you can read about him here
My cat fell 80 feet.

Diameter is the same, about one inch. The height is 5/8" for the standard barrel vs. nearly 3/4" for the fyre barrel.

I think the taller Fyre Reflex barrels may be part of the reason there was a problem with the initial run of Fyre trucks. I had a specifically different issue to most, one of the C clips holding the sphericals in situ, (the front post one) kept popping out, either while being ridden or more often when tightening the trucks up on the posts. The bushing under the truck was basically acting as a fulcrum and levering out the spherical. It didn't matter what order i tightened up the truck, it was always the same story. This led me to remove the lower bushing, and voila no pop outs. I then chose to use a standard size Reflex bushing with the same result. I think possibly this could also be part of the reason why axles were bending, a transfer of force from the fulcrum (kingpin) and holding pins thru' the axles. I have also noticed the trucks are more fluid using the shorter Reflex bushings and are more responsive, the bigger bushings were maybe restricting the trucks pivot, therefore increasing other forces. I am no scientist but I think this makes sense.

can anyone explain to me why the regrippins are so special??? isn't it basically a centerset zigzag??

its cuz they are rare and rare stuff is faster and just rides better over all, i have a set and they are awesome

[frankie18]

yeah theyre basically a centerset big zig. Which makes them awsome because a center set big zig doesnt exist.

more like a center set zig zag. It is nice because you can flip them so they last longer.

Yeah they're called "Bones Hardcores".

(don't go changing the rules of the game at halftime, Chandler. Eat your orange wedge, don't ask any questions and get back out there, soldier)

Is a revised version of the Fyres going to come out?

Its like.. they came out... they had problems... and they were swept under the rug.
