New Classic FreeRides

**Terrorsathan** · 09-12-2009 09:12 AM

I cannot wait till I get my amber freerides!

This next statement isn't a diss or anything but why would you want a zig in classic thane? My preference in a Big Zig would be rebound and grip grip grip!

Thats why I love pink big zigs haha.

Can anyone compare limes and ambers for commuting/cruising?

I know the classic freerides haven't come out yet but i was curious how the reflex 'thane differed from regular 81a.

Since the Reflex thane has superior rebound and would have a better roll speed, I'm guessing the limes would be better cruisers/commuters. And since they are softer, they would probably roll over cracks better.

They have come out for all Silverfishers. Silverfish Longboarding - The Longboard Skateboard Community - Classic FreeRide Pre-Release Scroll down.

I was looking for any comparisons between classic and reflex. I've read a bunch of reflex/freeride threads but not as much comparing the two. We shall see next week!

I hope.

someone give a shout when they get their wheels. ill do the same. i havent got a notification that they have shipped.

**Slops57** · 09-22-2009 06:29 PM

so...its like the 23rd now and.... i still got nothing. anyone else?

**Werd** · 09-22-2009 08:11 PM

Ebasil posted this yesterday but I don't know what's up, guess greatness comes with patience. I'd appreciate a more formal update or something from Chaput.

"Hey, I spoke with Chris Chaput on Friday and he told me the wheels have NOT shipped to anyone, due to a glitch at the factory. They're on it and I think he'll post something in here to tell us what's up."

**carvinconcrete** · 09-22-2009 08:20 PM

the wheels came out and were totally wrong, no clear cores, and not translucent, so that's why.

Look at the other thread for the whole story

**Slops57** · 09-23-2009 12:35 AM

thanks for that tinypete. i was wondering about it. SWEET tho... free bushings and washers. siiick.

**Kal** · 09-25-2009 02:43 PM

Chaput for the win.

Such stand up business.

**Hugo D** · 09-27-2009 03:14 PM

real stupid question here....
so, we have to contact sk8trip and let them know which duro we want for the bushings?
right?

**Bruce22** · 09-27-2009 03:38 PM

radiuse them and make them ridable for you

**luftywaffles** · 09-27-2009 04:08 PM

I know but these wheels have terrible lip designs
too much grip
not enough slip
