Classic stuff. Have you tried forged 149's with that shape? Any discernible difference?
I've totally enjoyed Standards with the blue eagle, but haven't tried forged with it.
Probably no big difference, but still, y'know, madness.
Thanks
Yeah, pop feels ever so slightly lighter
It's ~1.5mm lower and ~15 grams lighter per truck
if you switched from forged hollow to hollow standard, it would be the equivalent of taping 3 nickels to your front truck
Not really noticeable
I hate forged though
Cause with cast plates, when my truck gets all smashed in/bent from nose/tail slides, I can rub the baseplates on the sidewalk to flatten/smooth them back out so they don't press into my deck weird
I like having the extra height as well in case I need a big soft wheel for a weird spot or something, and then running 53/54 max usually gives me more wheelbite protection
The forged indys are gonna have a better pinch though, and lighter pop feel
I pretend forged baseplates don't exist tho
Same as lock in wheels, they don't exist either
Anyways forged 149s are great. Last time I ran them on a blue eagle was 2021. I just don't like them as much as cast and the cast ones are cheaper
