They're pretty cool! I haven't been able to really dig in and try them out as I'm recovering from knee surgery, but they fit the egg shape really nicely. I have two speed rings on the inside and none on the outside just to put the wheels out as much as possible to the end of axle.

Quantum Isotopes
Miles grip
Reebok Club Cs

These trucks have been feeling almost amazing on a 14.25 WB, hoping this tiny tweak finds the sweet spot for me.

Loving the isotopes.

Swapped some NFG squares that have been really good for the 97s and it’s like these were made for the rough pavement in my neighborhood. Not soft, just smooth.

I need a week or two on the Miles. It’s a little grittier than Jessup but the backing is softer/lighter than Jessup. I was worried it would suck to put on but it’s almost like the backing is more flexible than normal, not in a bad way. It was easy to put on, used a regular razor on the grip and the plastic one to pry a car mount thing off the back of my phone.

How do y’all cut the grip on a sharp (not sanded) top rail? Just straight to the edge? I knew it was like that but forgot and remembered once I was a few inches in to cutting.

Thanks! They came out of a pinata a couple weeks ago.

Loving the bearings! The Dolly sticker was made by a friend out in Beaumont, TX: http://www.drawcomicdesigns.com/new-products-1 Looks like she has this and a couple other designs left from her last release.

Very cool.

Yep. Since I got these I’m constantly checking for more.

Bop Shop "1.60934 kilometers" grip (comes with a paper maché razor)
Pusher bearings

Saw the trucks were on sale and my curiosimadness got the best of me. Also been wanting to try these boards for a while because I have a 6 ply factory sample/prototype pop secret that I really like, and this shape is right in my wheelhouse in terms of dimensions. The shape is classic crail with the straight rails and mellow concave but kind of steep kicks. So far I don't hate it but holy shit is it stiff and I think I'm going to have to experiment with other trucks because it feels pretty heavy.

14 wb, Crail actually has a very nice site with full specs of all their currently offered shapes for those of us who weigh our trucks and use digital calipers because we swear our current board is thicker/thinner than the last one (aka are mentally ill).

GK have actually surprised me so far. Sometimes I buy stuff kind just for the fun of trying shitty gimmicky skate gear (of which GK have long been the...well.. kings) and then it surprises me by actually being pretty good. I'm not totally ready to say these fall into that category yet because I've only got 2 days on them, but so far they're better than I was expecting. I am taking them off this setup already but it's more because I don't think they're a good fit for this deck than for any other reason. They're not heavy but not light either at 361g, which I guess isn't bad for a full cast truck but they're also only 8.12 axle. Turn is good. Didn't blow my mind but they definitely ain't krux, and I like the weird metal bushing cap thing. The bushings themselves feel pretty good, I'd guess probably right around 90a... they're very pliable like the improved indy stock ones so I did have to crank them down a bit to avoid biting any time I landed weird or tried to take turn too sharp. Grind felt fine, pretty much the same as indys. Overall I'm going to have to try them on a board I'm totally comfortable with to make a real decision as to whether or not I like them, but I can say they're well made and the materials are good.
