New Manderson V cast hollows incoming:
I need these in my life and am getting impatient.
I'm considering buying a set of 5.6 hollows and 5.6 standards, and putting the hollow axle hanger on the cast plates. But then I was reading Brimson's comments a few pages back about differences between different runs, and I'm scared I'll get a dud match up.
I refuse to buy the Kader V-cast hollows.
Honestly though, I couldn't really tell the difference until someone else brought it up, more just that one seemed to overhang a lot more than another one, but they all still work fine, just needed a touch of fine tuning / bushing change up.
I don't think any current trucks would have issues though - everything Venture (all DLX really) has been Mexico now for a bit, so they are all tried and tested, everything works, etc.
Happily, I managed to find a set of V-cast hollows in my size (5.6) for a very fair price at skatewarehouse.com this morning.
These are the Skate Jawn collabs. They look sick with a polished hanger, red bushings and black baseplate. Ended up paying the equivalent of $114 AUD including shipping from the US. All the Aussie shops are charging $160 for the ugly ass Kader ones, so I'm stoked.
Shipping will take about a month, but I can revert to my 5.2s and an 8 inch in the meantime.
Didn't realise there had been so many drops of cast hollows when I made the initial post. I thought the Kaders were the first and the Mandersons, the second. That's why I was so set on getting the Mandersons, after sizing back up to 8.25 and remembering why I don't like Thunders.
P.S. Thanks to everyone who responded.
