CNC'd and Performance DH Trucks

[JamieReis]

First of i think we must dispell some ideas that you have.

First of there was a market gap for 2-3 months last winter, that hardly justifies someone selling "cheap kahas" (highwinds words, not mine).

You guys are acting like the only reason people bought rippoffs was cause they couldn't get kahas, but I call BS on that. No way do I believe that people who bought the rippoffs had ANY intention of getting the REAL deal in the first place.
Thus I don't buy the "filling the market gap" rout that people take.

I just guess you are a leecher.

And this debate is kinda moot since kaha have advanced their product DESPITE a copycat selling too lowlifes.

Kaha>lowlifes

Why do you care, and why are you so fired up about it? How does it affect you at all? Just shut up. Another company put another quality truck on the market for a short time, and they no longer do. Just STFU and let it die.

If you read any of my posts you would know why this makes me angry.
Kahalani boards have a huge part in making DH what it is in Sweden today.
It wasn't a company who ripped them, it was some dude with a cnc machine that scanned pair of kahas and sold them as cheap kahas. He didn't go through testing are developing or paying for running a real company.

All those are facts.

the guy is stating his point of view. no need to shove it down his throat. you stated your opinion, he stated his. this isn't a right and wrong issue. there are two sides to it. both sides have voiced their opinions on this more than sufficiently, now let it go.

I love pie.

yeah as a business owner i get it.
but perhaps you can be grateful it was a small run and it wasn't a business. plus i do believe he did it just for the sake of seeing if he could. if he is a college student/upcoming business man he learned rule 1....ETHICS

It is important that this issue was addressed (from my point of view) and where as i believe the anti touhouse argument is correct in nature....the small run that was done (not for profit as stated by tou and another) is only a misdemeanor and not a felony (imo).
He got his hand slapped, now it's over. In fact I am willing to bet this wouldn't even hold up in court if kaha had a patent. Small run, not for profit. But the ethics of doing this type of thing is taboo in my book. We are arguing ethics and values here. You are not going to get someone to change those on this forum here. Those that believe that he did nothing wrong are gonna find supporting evidence as will the other side of the argument. Again my opinion is misdemeanor not a felony.

On the money. Great post.


And let's stop beating this dead horse now, or I'll have to close the thread.

Yah they're out. $210 or so for the hangers. The spherical bearings are like +$10 per truck, or they have urethane plugs that come standard. No pivot spherical.

lol.....and i am not gonna get sucked into debate onthis....besides everyone should just ride cindrich anyways

[Squirrlyismyname]

so where are the precision trucks with no axle off-set and inline with the king-pin??

because i love the feel of my crails... and i want more precise hangars and baseplates.. maybe some different hanger widths too...

Cindirch, Kookys, GOG Big Brothers all have axles inline with the kingpin. I know the GOGs have a slight offset, but the Cindrich don't (I've owned both) and I don't think Kookys are offset.

[krebhorn]

Juts got a set of kaha's and I am definitely loving the precise-ness. you can feel it when drifitng etc.

I'll post up a review in a few weeks after taking them through the courses.

[Smurf]
