You have to have a business account with them and order a large batch.  If you’re buying blanks one at a time you’re best options are Chapman’s $29.99 blanks.

I almost pulled the trigger on a Chapman blank but couldn’t find the WB for the 8.3 or 8.5 so I hesitated. Anyone know the wheel bases for Chapman blanks?

AFAIK These have stayed the same since they moved production to Clutch.

Very much appreciated!!!! So it’s a safe bet the wheel base is probably around 14.25. Thank you so much.

How much do the generator blanks come out to each? Been debating opening a business account just to buy some.

Yeah, I forget where else it was discussed here but they no longer have their own shop. If you get a Chapman board it has the same concave/shape stamp over the front truck as Clutch.

Real Team Overspray Oval Deck 8.25 x 32   14.38 wheelbase
Indy 139 TI (thanks to Diocletian) w/ cracked ice rip tide pivot cups
F4 99A, 53mm (originally) classic shape
Bones swiss
Jessup ultra grip
7/8 allen

Sizing down my trucks from 149's so gotta get used to that. It's been raining all week so I've only gotten to skate this in my garage, so far it feels good. The ultra grip feels like regular mob under the feet, will report back on how it feels after a few sesh's.

[fulfillthedream]

Nice  looking setup Twanked. Curious why you didnt go for the 144 (8.25 indy) over the 139? you plan to size down on deck width?

Thanks. Yeah over the past year I've been downsizing like crazy, started at a 9, down to 8.75, 8.62, 8.5, 8.38, and now 8.25. Next will be probably an 8 or 8.12, which is why I got the 139s

10 - 10.5 shoes. I got turned off from bigger decks because I don't like how sloppy they make my style. Plus I don't like all the excess room on a wider tail, I end up losing track of where on the tail my foot is and gives me sloppy pop.

Interesting, same thing happened to me and I corrected it with different trucks

Magenta usually have really good graphics IMO. Clean and stylish.

[fulfillthedream]

^ Damn that's a nice looking setup. Im so tempted to try out ventures but its useless cause I know ill always revert back to thunders.

With that being said Im headed home in a few weeks and will stock up some Magenta boards. Been at least two years since I rode one at a time where all I was skating was those boards.

My local indoors is mostly tranny and i felt that my AH black widow was way too small to skate there, needed a bigger board so I copped this for 23 euros and showed it some acetone to remove their logo

I think they’re pressed by Control, my last one was over 5 years ago but I remember it being okay, nothing too special but not bad. I don’t like that brand at all but it’s hard to say no when it’s priced like 1/4 of regular board, new board is always a treat.

Some time I drive by a FAG factory and now I’m curious if I can find some to try. How much did they run you? Is 608 the size needed for a wheel?

[moonordie]

Current setup:
- Primitive 8.5 (too lazy to figure out length and WB)
- Mob
- 7/8 Indy hardware
- Krux Nora V4 without that damn graphic
- Swiss 6
- F4 99 classic full 54 originally now they're 52mm
- 3MC
Pretty happy with this setup, just I wish the graphic was somebody that wouldn't make me feel like a 12yo even tho I like dbz a lot.
