Reviews written by beachcruzerboy rideable stock bushings??, Wednesday, 09 July 2008
Equipment Reviews How long have you ridden them?: 6 months or so?What Setup are you running them on?: Fibreflex 38" w/ 76mm 78a Gumballs, Lucky swiss, Khiro risers, bolts and spacers AND a Sector bamboo pintail 46" w/ 86a Big Zigs, Lucky swiss, Khiro bolts risers and spacers Typical Discepline?: cruising, carving How much did you pay for them?: $30ish wholesale Where did you buy them?: Southshore Distribution What are their weaknesses?: They could have been polished but about an hour w/ a Dremmel tool fixes that. The whole hanger bottoming out on the top washer, but flipping the washer fixes that. Can't use after market bushings, pivots, or kingpins to tune the ride What are their strengths?: Luckily the stock bushings, pivots and kingpins are really good. Super carvy. Hot looking when polished What similar equipment have you ridden?: Paris, Revenge Would you recommend them?: Yes Paris in Texas, Sunday, 06 July 2008

Get something decent right away What are their strengths?: They're super carvy and pretty stable once the stock bushings are in the trash.

Equipment Reviews How long have you ridden them?: two yearsWhat Setup are you running them on?: Currently they're on my Ed E. Street 57" w/ Indy 215's, Lucky swiss Khiro bolts, spacers, risers, bushings, pivot caps, and kingpins. Typical Discepline?: carving, cruising, sliding How much did you pay for them?: $16 wholesale Where did you buy them?: Southshore Distribution What are their weaknesses?: They're pretty slow for 76mm, but I think It's because they're so light. What are their strengths?: They have a pretty good combination between grip and slide. On shorter boards they don't slide as controlled and predictable, but on this board they're a great all around wheel. What similar equipment have you ridden?: Lots of wheels this size, Big Zigs, Gumballs, Supersliders, Kryptos, etc., but they're all different in their ride characteristics. Would you recommend them?: Yes imagine your longboard being fast as f%#k, Thursday, 26 June 2008
