So I haven’t setup the bearings does anyone have firsthand experience with these bearings? Are they high maintenance? What’s your impression of them do they hold up well vs Swiss and what’d you think could be improved by Bronson bearings?

i had a pair that i ran for about a year but they started exploding on me. they get really loose after a while. i was impressed with how well they spun out of the box but not stoked on the durability. im for sure getting swiss next time.

So did you maintain them?  I’m meticulous about bearings every two weeks clean em up

fuck yeah, really nice looking setup SJ, loved that board back in the day and it still looks beautiful in 2018. Is it a screened version?

[nosneb]

I'm not sure they did screened versions of this or if I just missed them. This one is heat transfer. I got the Gabriel Rodriguez screened for the wall.

Yeah it's from that late end of football shapes when they started to refine them with straighter rails but it tapers making it feel like an 8.25
I'll try to post a top shot later.

I'm riding two top bushings (as opposed to top and bottom) and it's really nice. Really fun carving around between tricks. Haven't skated anything high speed yet so it might change, but I'm digging it right now.

How do you guys like the indy 149s on 8.25? Don't the axles protrude a bit?

I've had no problem with it. You can't really see it from above.

I skate Thunder 149s on 8.25 boards and I think it's perfect.

hahah damn this set up screams old man. What's the point of "lock ins" when when your trucks are screaming "we only get used to do little baby coping stalls"

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

double shovel version?

They make a standard 8.5 in that one too, id wager its just that

[nopes]

This is the link i ordered from. I think that's the double right?

I'm currently putting together a new set up and i'm wondering if Indy 169 Titaniums are worth bothering with over standard 169s.  Anyone ridden them?
