@a_speck_of_dust

back to the subject of this thread:

about those Reflex Cupped washers. what is so different about them. is it just that they are steel, so they are stronger, or is there something about their design that is out of the ordinary? i have always hated running cupped washer on the bottom because they would bite into the bushing, and the hanger (around the paris bushing seat). i guess my Q is what distinguished them from other cupped washers, other than the reflex logo?

hey Boarderholic, could you just delete those argumentative posts, including mine. it will create less hell for use all.

"Reflex U.S.A" should make gnarly flat washers that don't deform over time. I would eat those up. Cupped washers are a hing of the past.

On another note, when these first 100 sets of Fyre trucks come out... Better have your money ready! I predict they will be gone in MINUTES.

you think it will take minutes. i think it will just break the machines. it will be like a radio contest where the first hundred callers win.

i already use flat steel washers that i pick up from the hardware store. apparently i don't skate hard enough that i bend them. i do like my cupped washers though. they get better rebound from the bushings. they should work nicely. now hoe to place an order for a dozen sets. i hope they are distributed through my normal online stores.

i am also wondering when they will make a stepped bushing. their formula is so nice. i would love to through on a 89/86 stepped in my indys. hope that is in the workers. there seems to be a lot going on at once down there in SoCal.

just read this thread... There's pics and explanations of both

**mcpenguin** · 09-28-2009 09:01 PM

those right there are some damn sexy wheels!

**Rouleau** · 09-28-2009 09:08 PM

i don't think i'm alone in saying the green mis-pours are a lot sexier than the planned ones. both look great. Any specific reason why the amber 'thane freerides are going to be something special?

I disagree. I can see the disappointment with the first batch. But to each his own. I'm excited for my greens.
