    I had them on a voodoo xl but found it hard to get the set up right because i just couldn't get the leveridge, i weigh around 10 1/2 stone. Ive put them on a new earthwing mystery model. Its the same width more or less as the voodoo but the extra concave on the MM makes all the difference. I can get a lot more lean and just feels a hole load more controlable. I had a spell with elims but went back to barrels, found the elims restricted the turn, but maybe that will be different on the Earthwing MM

    Blix , you are in luck, any euro hardware store should have the same or similar nuts. Its so much harder getting the US sized ones. But we do list metric nuts on the site if you have trouble.

    Yeah, type of deck makes a world of difference, I sold my 09 Avenger for the very same reasons.

    Got to use them for a little session today, nothing really fast, but got a much better feel for them.
    They are like insanely grippy, even on wet-ish pavement the gripped like a vice.
    Also, they were surprisingly lively, 85a Venom barrels front and 90a rear.
    Now I really can't wait for summer!

    Sooo, while waiting for the Swedish foamcore the Gog's will live on, I tried them on my Hellcat, just for fun. Ride height with 70mm wheels are 3.7 inches, no hangerbite and I could probably run 97mm flywheels without bite!, so totally doable....

    They've been developed further. They're actually coming out soon. Adjustable from 30-60 degrees.

    Some other improvements regarding kingpins and axles have been made. I'll hopefully get some of the upgraded versions soon so I can feed you with pics and specs

    180mm are coming end March / beginning of April
