I first thought it was a broken kingpin while I was picking myself up.

You should contact the manufacturer before posting up. Sometimes you get bad batches, and instead of the company more than willingly setting you right, you deter potential customers. Not trying to flame you, its just considered poor form. I'm sure sabre will hook you up with a new set if you send em an email.

I've only ridden the bushings.
Also, a bad batch is a bad batch. Either way, they split. I don't see why contacting the mfg 1st makes a difference, even if they were to replace them or not.

If you contact them first they will probably correct any problems there are and send you replacement product. Every skate company has bad batches. It doesnt make them a lower quality company, but mistakes happen. Also, it is important for them to know if their products are failing in case there are any more defective bushings. That way they will know if they need a recall or if it was just a fluke.

well last night I got bored and slapped a crail hanger into my 42* Randall plate and said hey, if the pivot actually fit I would have myself a set of sabres.

Except for the bp angle

They are the only sizable manufacturer left who isn't making house branded trucks for their completes.

Landyachtz - Bear
Gravity - Randal
Sector9 - Gullwing
Lush - Sabre??????

Having a french english site could simply be a branding strategy since a large portion of their business is in France.

you/rayne?

i actually have something else to say about the cone bushings. at first they were great, and had perfect rebound, but now, being broken in, they have no rebound at all. they just feel dead. im goin to get some reflex bushings now

**deathfrog** · 09-07-2009 12:10 PM

Bump. Does anyone have any updates?

**glideronfreerides** · 09-12-2009 08:38 AM

I own Venom, Sabre, and Reflex bushings... Sabre's are the best IMO... w/ the most rebound. It may just be that 86a is too soft for you, thus you wore 'em out.

**robert borek** · 09-12-2009 10:00 AM

ive heard reflex bushings arent that good..

venoms and sabres are both great..

sabre trucks will be coming soon...quit waiting around... when thier available you'l hear about it... then you can buy a set cant you?

you're missing the point- when buying gear, one tends to allocate certain funds towards certain gear... I've been holding off on buying another set of trucks (I'd really like to try holeys, for instance) for months since sabre's release date was hyped to be soon.

Trucks are getting very close, there shipping worldwide to distributors right now! Don't have USA pricing yet but there's light at the end of the tunnel. We should have them in stock very soon!

Nice idea, but I don't think its necessary. With a 190mm hangar, a 45* baseplate and double barrel bushings, I still want my Sabres to be fun to carve/cruise around on when I finally buy them....

a lot of slop? how are your bushings ever gonna touch the seat with sphericals?

Bubba: Have you ever been on a real Sabre?
Forrest Gump: No, but I've been on some a real big trucks.
Bubba: Anyway, like I was sayin', Sabre is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, Sabre-kabobs, Sabre creole, Sabre gumbo. Pan fried Sabre, deep fried Sabre, stir-fried Sabre. There's pineapple Sabre, lemon Sabre, coconut Sabre, pepper Sabre, Sabre soup, Sabre stew, Sabre salad, Sabre and potatoes, Sabre burger, Sabre sandwich. That- that's about it.
