There's a Paris Truck Co. decal on the hanger. I've been reading a bunch of different stuff (aren't they called Savants?) about these and I haven't seen anything conclusive about who's making them.
these look like the ultimate happy median between kahas and paris 180s. the only doubt tho is if paris 180s had problem with bending, then adding another 15mm is making it even easier to bend..

I've heard that they fixed this.. made the hangars thicker or axles higher quality.. something like that, but IDK that's just what I heard.

true.
last batch we got from them is way thicker, and the axle is closer to 8mm.
guess which one is newer.

Really, if it isn't 10mm axle, how is it beefy? Like calling a McDonalds burger beefy after making the bun longer.
they said beefy hanger, not beefy axle, you're just confused.
I don't know about you, but I'm not running 85+mm wheels ever, and don't really have a need for 10 mm axles

Thicker hangers would help reduce hanger bending. The wider the hanger, the more leverage. Playing around with the particular alloy would probably be good, too.

will you stock these Mark? Or are they made in China and such?

yes yes. make them green so i can digest them faster please.
as of now, Lou and I have the only set of 195s in existance, the protos. WE have approved them and they will be available this holiday.
They are very stong. without a doubt, and only 15 ish grams heavier than the 180.
They fit on regular paris plates and with the wider hanger and running the 50 degree plates they are exponentially stabler, even when ran loose. I feel that i'd run 50 plates even when /if the lower degree plates come out. and they still the great paris bushing seats we all love.
BTW, the new, slightly beefier 180s are sickkkk, way stronger with better axle material as well.
