Official Superglider Army Setup Thread

[RyanTheMann]

Trucks:Indy 215 front/tracker 184 rear- though it's seen a bunch
Bushings (make, model, color/duro):bennett vector tops on the bottom, green stims top
Risers:1/4" soft rear, 3/8" hard front
Wheels (make, model, size, duro): 70mm lime zigs on it now
Bearings:Biltin
Riding Style (cruising, carving, downhill eek!):commuting/garages/sliding/park
Riding Terrain (park, street, garage):street/park/garage
Other wheels used:Krypto CSI, EW Slide A
Miscellaneous: Deck rails, Powell nose bone
This board has taken a huge beating and the only damage so far is a razor tail . For such a thin board, these things appear bulletproof

Streetheap do you have any pictures of yours? I want to see what it looks like with the rails and the nose bone.

Been tweaking since I posted upthread, so....

Trucks: Indy 149 hangers, Core plates (still)
Bushings (make, model, color/duro): Black JimZ bottoms, Venom 85a cones top, f/b
Risers (lowerers'): Khiro soft wedges, f/b (thanks, BUboarder--you were right)
Wheels (make, model, size, duro): 66mm 82a Superballs (it's like they were made for this board )
Bearings: Swiss 6 (still)
Riding Style (cruising, carving, downhill eek!): same
Riding Terrain (park, street, garage): same
Other wheels used: same
Miscellaneous: New life for the old warhorse. The jimz/venoms work great together--the snap of the venoms making up for the squish of the jimz, but still super stable bombing/carving at speed and absorbs the road like a suspension system. Flat washers under the jimz, but found that TVAR's right: his bushings seem to work better with cups. Started running my trucks max loose (and I'm fattening up a bit) so I was getting wheel scrape (just took off paint) with 70mm ptangs and 1/4" risers. No worries now. And better acceleration!

glad you liked the suggestion...it makes me feel vindicated haha

now i've gotta try me some slalom-style wheels...zigs or 66mm superballs!

You are fully vindicated. Try the Superballs. Do it for the twins.

hooyah.............

hooyah.............

hey, how do you like the 180ish mm trucks? and have you ridden the glider with 169's or 149's. if so, how does it compare?

[inertiatic515]

Trucks: Indy 169
Bushings (make, model, color/duro): Khiro barrels white/blue front, blue/orange back
Risers (lowerers'): vibra-gear soft wedge risers (1/2in?)
Wheels (make, model, size, duro): Bennett Alligators 71mm 81a (red)
Bearings: speedy lunatics
Riding Style (cruising, carving, downhill eek!): cruise/carve
Riding Terrain (park, street, garage): campus/street/garage
Other wheels used: Earthwing Superballs 70mm 78a
Miscellaneous: i weigh 120lbs. wedge/dewedge and new bushings really really helped liven up the ride and increased the board's ability to carve

How did you fit the Khiro Barrels into the 169's?

[lfatboy]

How did you fit the Khiro Barrels into the 169's?

he probably replaced the kingpin. either paris kp or jb weld mod.

[lfatboy]

damn streetheap, that's once suped up 'glider. you must love it to death. where'd/how'd you get the noseguards?

[BUboarder]

How did you fit the Khiro Barrels into the 169's?

good question, because now i'm wondering if somehow i managed to get them in wrong...it seems like people aren't able to/shouldn't be able to fit them in w/o modifying the KP, which i didn't do

i'll take a pic if i remember to in the next couple days. they're just regular barrel sets, the big fat one and the little conical...not barrel/barrel fyi

EDIT: oh look, i found a picture i'd already taken. sorry it's not really zoomed in on the trucks, but it's all i've got


are the bushings in upside-down? the "top" one is the conical, in this case white, and the "bottom" one is the barrel, orange

[Archy]

Heap: loving the nose, rails. hott. but wtf, why'd you drill it old school?

(disclaimer: i'm drunk. if i'm mis-seeing, je m'excuse)

[LawlessPat]

Trucks: Indy 149's on RTX plates
Bushings (make, model, color/duro): 90a Venom conicals all around
Risers:1/2" hard all around
Wheels (make, model, size, duro): 66mm Lemon Zigs
Bearings: Swiss
Riding Style (cruising, carving, downhill eek!): commuting, carving, throwing steezy speed checks and bonelesses, beer runs
Riding Terrain (park, street, garage):streets/sidewalks/bike paths
Other wheels used: 71mm Bennett Gators
Miscellaneous: Such a rad board...

whoa, you're right drunkie. maybe the old supergliders came drilled oldschool. i'm a lil buzzed too.

that being said, my ex is a bitch

[streetheap]

I prefer wider. I just like wide boards and/or wide trucks. I think it's because I like to skate above my abilities.... The same, you just gotta push funny, and run your shiit looser/softer to get a quick lean. Not really the reason I flip my offset wheels, just trying to even up the wear.

damn streetheap, that's once suped up 'glider. you must love it to death. where'd/how'd you get the noseguards?

The Nosebone is made by Powell, and can be had at most any online retailer who are official Powell distributors (they get 'em free from Powell at Christmas time, along with an official Powell fruitcake, -McGill). And, yes, I love her.

Drunk is good.
You see correctly. I've run it with Tracker StreetTracks and QuickTracks (Aggros), which much to my delight, come drilled OldSchool only.

whoa, you're right drunkie. maybe the old supergliders came drilled oldschool. i'm a lil buzzed too.

no

that being said, my ex is a bitch

That's probably nothing to applaud. Getting drunk, yes.
Having a bitch as an ex, no.
