Buying a Glass Grenade

[AndrewDos]

I'm thinking about buying just the deck and setting it up myself. If I do that what trucks/wheels would you all suggest or am I better off just buying a complete?

Finally, where's the best place to buy it other than from FD themselves?

[dethcarve]

nice choice. you may also want to consider the clear 29 if you want more foot room. i would highly recommend my personal setup: paris 150s and 66mm retros

if you live in san diego, visit muir surf and sport. if not, their website offers a great setup anyway:

Skate,Complete,Flexdex Products - Muir Surf and Sport

Tracker RTS/X and Tunnel Rocks. They have this specific set-up from an eBay distributor for dirt cheap. PM me if interested.

My motivation for picking up the grenade is that it's so small. The 29 is pretty sick but I'm trying to find the smallest possible.

I figured I'd probably get retros but I'm really not sure on the trucks, I've never had a board that small haha.

i have 85mm tracker midtracks on mine with red tunnel rocks. i really like my setup, the tunnel rocks are my favorite wheels ever, i wish they came in all shapes and sizes

bennett 5.0s would fit the deck nicely, it seems.

I have the rt setup they reccomend, but I bought the parts from milehigh it rocks, they use it for a reason!

Sorry for those of you who PMed me for the info on the tracker/tunnel rock package. I looked over eBay and had no luck finding the seller, but if I run across anything I'll PM you back and post on here.

I know i have posted these before the fishcrash but this is my GG...







Its setup with Indy 215s Khiro hardcores, and Pink Gumballs on 1/4" vibrasoft risers.

Thie ride is amazing, It has the feel of a much larger board and is a cushy mini for around campus. It hops curbs and weaves comfortably through traffic. The big wheels allow it to clear sidewalk cracks and various debris with ease. I have even taken it down some grass hills around stair sets,

I wouldn't recommend this setup if your feet are much larger than a 11 as you can get foot-bite. I have found a way to make it work, but my stance options are limited.

Lastly, this ride has improved my boarding skills tenfold. By getting on a shorter ride my balance has gotten a lot better on my bigger boards. This is the most ridden board in my quiver. I take it to class daily as it slides nicely right over my bag, and under the desk.

Additionally, everyone loves this board. Random people ask me to try it, and amazingly the ladies often ask to ride it too (never my osd, pro40, s9 or KS)! Again I love this board, and the bigger setup is definatly not your average mini.

i wish my indy 215s fit too on the GG without redrilling holes.
oh well, my current setup is pretty nice.

yeah ive got the 4 hole plates.... you could probably find some cheap, or trade! It's well worth it!

[ksplash]

i have a kinda different set-up with my my grenade. sidewinders and grippins, it turns sooooooo much, but may not be for everyone. other than that maybe the bennett 4.3 and zigs

[animal]

i got my GG running gullwing sidewinders and blue tunnels ... and it pumps like .... well let not go there

anyways its the best damn set up i could think of but i sometimes swap out for the rtxs ... that just makes it a bit quicker just not as pumpable and turny

i got my trucks for $25..that's pretty cheap lol.

i might just drill it though..

[phan226]

It amazes me that indys are that cheap.... I freakin love mine!

[phan226]

Also if you want those 6 hole plates.... there are some new ones for sale in the buy/sell

HERE!

oh, it's the defects from amazon. it's only misthreaded axles and f'd up pivot cups.

and i guess i'm gonna drill another hole on it.

Bennet 5.0s or 139mm RTS/RTX combo with 66mm zigzags or 62mm gators for the win.

that is reaally high for a 23" board. im sure its fun as anything though, i love high boards for just cruising around

[Hanael]

just drilled the indys.

it's awesome...including the shoebite.
blah.
i guess i gotta reposition my feet..
