Regripped my board, grip over bolts, running ace hollow bolts with fresh nuts and I have never been more confident my hardware is not coming loose for eternity lol.
Respect.
Grip over bolts is always insane to me, but if you're going to do it, might as well fully commit.
I heard HKD or FKD or someone else used to do gripper bolts, too.
If I ever find a set of 7/8 Randoms I would totally buy em for the curiosity. Never had em back then.
My current go to is the Girl Longneck 7/8 Allen, and I put low profile nuts on after the first setup.
Too bad shipping costs too much, cause I have a box of Randoms that it seems no one wants, lots of different types, sizes / top heads too, but the grip ones with the little knobs I think are more just for the look than anything else.
Also the 7/8" bolts always were a pain to get into the board far enough to start to get your bolts on, at least for those dudes that had them at the skateparks setting up their boards without a hammer anyway. The longer ones, you could just put through, start to do them up and they would pull right in easily enough.
Fun looking at them now though, as I used to have them on all my boards back in the day, but just run plain simple bolts like Shortys or similar without any issues.
