    Those kits are sick. Khiro is getting good at taking care of our needs in large manageble doses

    Yeah, that thing is awesome. I figure with one of those, I'll be able to tweak my Seismics even more (quicker front, inbetween rear, etc).

    Although it's a "little" thing, I'm impressed by the kits/boxes they come in. Micro-adjusting dividers, tough materials, etc. Definitely top notch.

    mark how much for that set, just wondering

    The only competition in life is yourself, but be warned it loves to throw challenges in your face, just to make it a fun experience..

    They're designed to be used in combination to produce various angles. If someone just needs the amount of wedge/de-wedge from a conventional wedge riser, that's probably a better way to go. The rails are probably lighter than stacks of full-sized risers.

    Khiro Wedge Kit - RULE

    I picked up a set a few weeks back from SK8Kings and it is fantastic.

    Instead of a complete wedge, they are just the necessary rails (2 rails per truck) that go under the truck where they bolt on. Under the truck is hollow.

    Depending on your desired angle of wedge - there is enough to do 2-3 set-ups.

    If you like - send an e-mail to Khiro Bob!!!!!

    on the really big angles ones i'd worry about snapping the bolts due to the lateral forces. a solid wedge wouldn't have any tipping problems, but i can see those rail type wedges being problematic...

    not that i think khiro didn't do their r-n-d, so hopefully i'm wrong...

    Dave Hackett has been testing the wedges for a while, and I haven't heard of any problems. I don't think I'd go ape-sh it and stack 'em all, but a few would probably be ok.

    Ordered... with Mountains of Tranny's, Bertz, and more. Let me know if you're coming to the slalom competition on Friday or Saturday. If so, just bring the goods kind sir.
