Hey Ben I like the spherical dropping straight into the pivot cup (are the randals?)
Where did you get the pivot cup bearings?
Also you Sutho boys are we still on for this Sunday the 22nd at Warratah Park?

A couple of guys were interested in how the pivot mods turned out -i added a pic to my page of the rear randal and did a bennett too. It was pretty easy in the end, acut down 8mm bolt tapped into the hanger, and a nylon spherical dropped straight into the existing cup.
awesome change to the ride, virtually no turning resistance. I'm going to have to mess with the bushings again to deal with it. let you know if it falls apart!

Truth is I have way too many wheels for 1 person - want to minimise the stuff I don't use. I think Craig has Bigzigs. I'll get a set of pocket pistol cone crushers and some limes and I'll trade you for those oranges. Are they fresh?

70mm Zigzag reflex are my suggestion. Try and buy in pairs. 2x lime, 2 x lemon will get you started then you can look at orange or even orange plus once you start building quiver.
Try and find a wheel buddy to trade with if you can only buy whole sets.
I noticed Craig D got all limes. Maybe get a set of lemons and trade 2 for 2?
I've got a spare pair of orange plus if you want to trade aswell.
Honestly though, your otangs will be just fine to get you started.

Sweet thanks. I currently have inheats 80a/83a and its sluggish but nice as a pedestrian slalom wheel - rolling over those cracks. Will look into getting 70mm wheels

70mm is a better all round wheel.
Well fast enough and agile. Slalom mostly use between 66mm and 75mm so middle of the road is the go while you get your technique down. Thats what's going to generate your speed and acceleration. Pump power!

Hey guys technically 70mm wheels would be better for slalom (compared to 75mm) as they have better acceleration? Or it is really not that big of a deal?
