Michael Stefaun's new Pro Deck from Pool Kings is bringing the bling! Look at that thing! Click it to visit the site. Stefaun's roots are in street skating. Therefore, it's only natural that his pool shape closely resembles the traditional, double-end, twin tip shape that so many street decks incorporate. Michael's Pool King deck is constructed using polymer composites and 5 plys of hard rock maple veneers. Pool Kings claim these are 8 ounces lighter than standard 7 ply wood decks of the same size and shape and retain their "pop" for a longer time as well. |

khiros are a GREAT filler, between "stock" bushings (which usually suck) and the high-end, more expensive bushings such as abec11's, jimz, or stims. my bushing collection consists mainly of khiros, if only because they're so versatile. and, they work GREAT when coupled with the more exotic bushings.

The plastic colored washer is REALLY tight and precise on the kingpins...which, kinda makes it hard to push the darn things onto the kingpins. they match the size of stock indy bushings (which khiros don't), so they're great for conventional-pivot trucks, such as indys, trackers, ventures, etc. i use blues and yellows, for pretty much EVERYTHING. the blues are soft enough to carve on, but are great DH bushings when coupled with red khiro barrels. the yellows are great slalom rears, really good for slide setups, and are about the softest i'd go for skating tranny.

Quick little tool...it's great, because it's compact, but it still has all the necessary tools built in. i found it REALLY ingenious how many ways you can change things on the tool itself to get different tools, more leverage, or a different "reach". plus, the open-end wrench design allows you to get longer mounting hardware ;) Results 1 - 5 of 23
