Crails on buttboard?

**Bushman** · 06-10-2006 04:23 AM

making the switch soon, they are about a 1cm lower than the buttboard R2's, nice and strong, nice strong axles, better fit on the bearings (i still shim em).

any other buttbaorders doen this?

How are they workin out? Have never even seen a pair of crails in person but would love to try em on a buttboard if they are workin for yah. Its hard to reach the damn ground for a good paddle with my short little arms on the buttboard

I got short arms so its kinda gard to paddle. Thats why I always have crappy starts on the buttboard when racing. A lower truck would help me out....

Yeah, i've been curious about these trucks and thinking about making the switch too. give us a full report. crails have a different angle then R-II's, right?

i too could also use a lower truck. my buttboard fingertip pushes suck.

their pretty sweet actualy, but they are only about a 1/4" lower than randalls.

keep in mind the kingpin agnle is 45 instead of 50 like the R2 baseplates....but it still rides sweet.

i'm liking them! i'm not bending axles in hard corners like i was on the Randalls. The Crails are a touch lower in height too, so you have to setup your wheels/spacers accordingly. but yea......no more randals in the future..EVER.
