Equipment Reviews How long have you ridden them?: a day.What Setup are you running them on?: 38" topmount DH board with Bigzigs Typical Discepline?: Downhill How much did you pay for them?: $55 at a shop Where did you buy them?: Meta Skateboards Boulder, CO What are their weaknesses?: They came advertised as having higher QC than Randal, but the axles were bent when I got them. The hangar faces were jagged and gnarly, and there was aluminum on the axle, making it impossible to get my wheel all the way on. The bushing seats lack a step so they turn a little too deep. They came covered in vaseline. The casting and finsih resembled Randal very much. Nice baseplates, though. The hangars DO NOT fit on Randal baseplates. What are their strengths?: 10mm axle, which is basically negated by the fact that it comes bent.Good bushings, good kingpin, good baseplate. What similar equipment have you ridden?: Randal, Crail, Force, Holey, Paris Would you recommend them?: No << Start < Prev 1 Next > End >> Results 1 - 4 of 4
