if youre a light rider, avoid these. bushing swaps are a pain. since you cant pound out the kingpin for something longer, you cant swap out for a taller top bushing for deeper turns. and you cant use standard barrel bushings on the bottom, because the bushing seats in the hanger are so deep that it would restrict a barrel far before full compression. also, youd need washers to stack underneath to match the original bushings height, even then those washers would rattle around on top of the bushing seat in the hanger...

but if youre 150+, youll be fine with just a top bushing swap.

Equipment Reviews

How long have you ridden them?: however long my friend kept them
What Setup are you running them on?: mostly his fibreflex cutaway, holeys, 84 grippins or retro seven-ohs
Typical Discepline?: carving
What are their weaknesses?: the glued in or whatever kingpin, so you couldnt swap for a longer one. the annoyingly deep bushing seats in the hanger and plate. making it nearly impossible to easily swap out bushings and stack washers to oem height, because the stock bottom bushing is tall.
What are their strengths?: steeper plate that allows quicker turning. that, and they sure look pretty.
Would you recommend them?: No
