Reviews written by rosewood thief most bang for your buck, Sunday, 19 July 2009
Equipment Reviews How long have you ridden them?: a 3 yearsWhat Setup are you running them on?: had them on a few shortboards with industrial trucks and no name wheels, and i now have them on an enzo flexdex with bennetts and noskoolz Typical Discepline?: whatever you do, just put spacers in them, i wouldnt say bearings have typical disciplines How much did you pay for them?: 15 dollars Where did you buy them?: at my local skateshop What are their weaknesses?: the single seals dont keep dirt out as well as bearings with double seals, so you need to clean them more often than the bearings with double seals. if you want to get a bearing that lasts the longest without getting gunked up and requires cleaning, dont get these, look into MHS or ceramics. i dont recommend dropping 50 dollars on ceramics either way What are their strengths?: the nylon shields make for easy cleaning and easy maintenence. they are extremely cheap and stay alive very long. use spacers and speed rings for the longest lasting bearings possible. What similar equipment have you ridden?: black panther ABEC 5's, MHS Would you recommend them?: Yes element skate tool, Sunday, 03 May 2009

this board is a great board to have fun times on, as well as do slalom, if its setup right. legendary has excellent stains, when i got this board, the first thing i thought was, "pimm, how do you do it?" i have it with black stain and could not be more pleased with the appearance.
