Pleasure Tool For DH?

**lizardbowl12** · 11-02-2009 02:38 PM

I'm beggining to get into DH and i would love some new bearings. i love my old pleasure tools and i was wondering if they would work or be any good for DH.

for what its worth my setup is:

Landy Switch
Bear grizzleys
P-tangs inheats

any thoughts?

Best bearing around.... period

Bearings don't matter. Get some MHS bearings... they're free.

I like bearings.

I like bearings with spacers even more

Hmm well I dunno how tall you are, but I find the switch platform a little too big for an evo-like tuck. maybe state your height?

I'd go for the orange inheats for downhill....you might want a tad more grip so you don't drift out too far.

Get stuff from MHS and you get free AND kickass bearings.

Pleasure Tool are great.

I'm 5'8 about 150lbs. and i already have everything in my set up and it works pretty well for me. the MHS bearings are deffinatly a option tho....if i don't want to spend the money.

Free bearings > all other bearings

That would apply and i would just use the MHS bearings but....i'm not buying wheels...i already have my wheels. i've said that twice now.

Same factory, but different bearings.

Get the SEALED Abec 3's. $4.50 a set plus shipping. I ride these for DH (and everything else)

I just replace them when they get too gritty. Clean bearing = good bearing, and I find that a good cleaning can't always restore a thrashed bearing. Buy a few sets, and replace bearings one-by-one as they go out.
