    Default Originals or Revenges on a Loaded Pintail?

    Should I set up a Loaded Pintail with Originals or Revenges if I'm going to be running 75mm wheels?

    I also read that the Originals are squeaky, is that true?

    I have Originals and Gumballs under my Pin and love it. Get rid of the Original plastic risers and adapt 1/4" shockpads: that's enough to avoid wheelbite and have enough clearance to tighten the trucks as much as you need (i think... i actually run them pretty loose).
    IMO Originals make the Pintail feel softer.

    Never tried Revenges, but Don @ Loaded says the make the board feel stiffer.

    At some point Originals do get squeaky; how fast depends on how much and where you ride (dust). But cleaning and relubing should solve the problem. I didn't get to the point where squeakyness overtakes my laziness though....

    Thanks for the help.

    You're using S6's, correct?

    How high is the board off the ground?

    Crappy has been running s8's on his Loaded Fish for a couple days, I'm pretty sure he's the only person who can ride it efficiently.

    Watch out for toebite and go with the flow.

    Look up TheFuzz's thread on his Vanguard review. He has Revenge's and likes it.

    i've got Holeys on my Fibreflex pinner already; I was looking to try something new.

    Astro- What do you mean by "the only one that can ride it efficiently" ?
