firefly with kahas or smokeys?

[NickCrotch]

im getting a carbon fiber firefly ( not splurging on a nano) with purptang 4prezs should i look into kahas or smokeys for it?

I've got the nano firefly with kaha's and love it. The ride height between the two is pretty negligible, but the extra width makes for a nice amount of leverage on the wheels. Likewise, I don't really like the feel of sphericals, so I stray away Smokies. My friend Jeremy Geier (on the Insect team) rocks 190 smokies on his. I tried it, and they aren't favorable to me, but that is completely personal taste.

thanks but how much are kahas in USD?

[Zap]

O yes, there is also the small factor that Kahalani has stopped production for an indefinite amount of time. So you can't buy them at the moment; that might change your mind a bit

I talked to dan (guy who runs kahalani) earlier in november and he said that what he had on hand were the last trucks that he was going to have while the machinist he is using changes locations. He said that production will start again in the spring.

The price on kaha's fluctuates with the economy of the US's relative to Sweden's. This previous fall they were the lowest they had ever been at $250. Previous to that the highest they got was near $400. We'll have to see how the economy is doing when production starts again!

Yes, definitely a good call. If I could get them for free (and couldn't resell them) I would take randal 180's over smokies any day.

Unfortunately, that's not the first time they've given a date for their next batch....

Smokies would be a good choice, I am running them on an Avenger, you wont regret getting them.

[Abel]

[Cob]
