149 Titanium with reg. cast baseplates and aftermarket orange conical bushings
[close]
Did you ride the forged plates for a while before switching to the cast? And if you did, how do you like the added height? I’ve been sort of contemplating doing this on one of my setups.
[close]

Just add a small riser. I honestly do not understand why anyone would buy the standard version. Get forged. Lighter. Stronger baseplate. Plus, you have the option of a 53mm truck, or just adding a small riser to get 55mm of the standard if you wanted to go taller.

Cheaper?

Feels different?

Good looking out Art, I have 2 sets of 159s so I might end up frankensteining them on two different setups. I tried the standards on my BA and after one sesh I felt like it was too heavy. I also didn’t really feel any benefit from the height. But again, that was only one sesh. Not forcing myself to skate every day is clearly allowing me too much time to think about skating lol.

Hollow 169s in that weird blue color
215S Gonz

159 standards
Aftermarket Black Conical bushings

Fat_Dude_Arnold · « **Reply #34 on:** February 13, 2018, 09:03:13 PM »

As I said in the other post, standard 149s with the blue 94 bushings. I might need to go up to the black ones though because I still get wheelbite like a mother on 54 SPFs.

Regular 149 Indy's with after market ~~red~~ orange 90a conical Indy bushings.

Dystopism · « **Reply #37 on:** February 14, 2018, 05:05:33 AM »

I´m running standard Stage 11 149 with 92a Independent aftermarket bushings that I have yet to try. I wont be able to try them for a few weeks since I just had surgery on my foot. However just standing on the board makes me think that the bushings makes quite a big difference from running stock bushings cranked down.

blue ones are 92a, dude

B. Hopper · « **Reply #39 on:** February 14, 2018, 07:41:38 AM »

Stage 11s. 149s and 159s both with Bones Bushings. I have a mix of med/soft. Soft bottom/med tops in the front and med bottoms/soft tops in the rear.

Oh dang are they? I didn't see when the guy at the shop put them in I guess. So the black ones should definitely help with wheelbite then! Or harder? I'm 225 on a good day, thanks for the advice.

I'd go with the yellow(super hards):

I'm 185 and still get wheelbite with the black conicals(I don't crank them down much though). They're hard to break in but get better and better as you skate them.

Stage 8's on zip zinger.....

Matthew_James · « **Reply #43 on:** February 16, 2018, 12:57:11 PM »

I still ride the Koston 139 hollows. They're a little heavy for my liking, but I like the way they grind & they've lasted for a long while. I've been looking for an excuse to replace them with a pair of Thunder high's since the Koston Indys haven't given me a reason...

Firebert · « **Reply #44 on:** February 16, 2018, 01:12:00 PM »

I have some pretty cool black base 144 stage 8's (8.25" hanger)- I don't actually use them, though. More of like a piece of art that I saved before they re-made the 144.

I will try those out, thanks!

For those who ride the lows - what size wheels you running? I ended up using 1/16 risers after feeling like I was flying into wheelbite zone with Classic 54's...

Not Local · « **Reply #47 on:** February 16, 2018, 08:50:42 PM »

I like standard 149s and 159s with 88a conical bushings. But they still don't turn as well as Aces.

Get fired up · « **Reply #48 on:** February 16, 2018, 09:48:19 PM »

Standard 149. With the stock bushings, that are blown out. I like my trucks loose and this seems to work.

backinaction · « **Reply #49 on:** February 17, 2018, 12:34:01 PM »

I have some Stage 11 159 hollow forged on my cruiser deck.

I also have this garage sale pair that I just set up on a board for vert. I have looked for the stage guide and am unsure what these are. 7s? 8s?

the snake · « **Reply #50 on:** February 17, 2018, 07:27:15 PM »

^stage 8, according to this
