Joe brown said you are the man when it comes to building, ANYTHING sk8, do i need to prime the timber befor i glass to n bottom????? if i want to paint the bottom????
hey fitz i was wondering if it is possible to lathe down the hexagonal parts on the radikal axels down to 5mm or less or is the material to hard to do this?
thanks but i already asked and the only ones theyve got are on the radikals in the shop, i'll just stick to the wide ones for now. thanks for your help
Thanks for the advice see the nearly finished results on my page or the tiny photo to the left of this. My glassing will be better next time. no paint yet.
hey fitz i gave u a ring last week but couldnt get onto you, i was wondering if there was anyway that i could buy/get hold of the adjustable pivot pins off the zealous trucks cud i bent mine. thanks
Ive got a set of munkaes that have a fair bit of gutter scape on one side of the hanger and afew small pin hole marks everywhere and i was wondering what options are avaliable to make these look nice again. The base plate is purple and the hangers are blue and want them to be the same colour. Also im happy to flip the hangers so that i have a nice fresh surface so that the scaped part of the hanger doesnt need to be sanded thus weakening the hanger? Ive seen you sand blast your plasma and i was thinking the same thing.
Wondering if I can get a picture of your kahalani clones. Or at least a description of the changes you have made - your ad in the market place is not accessible.
Wait I've re-read your comment. I just want to confirm that what you mean by payment up front is that I pay for the trucks and you machine them down for me?
As currently I thought you meant you want payment on top of the trucks for machining them. Which is it?
Hey Fitz I've been looking at Buzzed trucks. They have it so that with 3/8" axles it comes to 179mm and with 1/2" ones it comes to 186mm - I think I'm going to go with this combination on your trucks. What do you think?
Hey Fitz was wondering what your axle to axle wheel base is that you'd usually run. I've been wedging my back randal and its almost at its limit (unless you know where I can get > 3" bolts) - current wheelbase is 22". 95mm bennett front and 110mm randal back.
I don't know whats been happening over at Randal but I cannot get hold of a 28* baseplate anywhere. They don't reply to my emails either and they have been out of stock since last year with no word of any coming in. Even Cindrich doesn't make low degree baseplates anymore - hoping they come out with their adjustable baseplate soon.
Foam wedges sound great are they light? The rubber ones do weigh a bit and I'm thinking of getting the khiro wedging kit but not sure how much they weigh all up either. Though a single wedge would be thinner none the less - I am interested- how much and what degree?
Hi fitz, i am doing an experiment for science which will involve testing if the more expensive bearings provide less friction then the cheaper one. the reason im asking you is robbo said you did all kinds of things with bearings and he said you might have a suggestion of how i could do an accurate test? thanks
Woah thanks fitz, my first IDE was to test ceramics, biltins,standard reds and some cheap bearing, but Robbin said it would be better to test a whole company's range so I've gone with that idea. Thanks for the help I don't think you need to go all into it but that's for the idea I will definitely use that method!
that price seems fair enough for all that it has. Once i get back in australia i will give u a call and we can discuss it more. In what deck did u use the jim z?
JG & MK unfortunaly cant make it, I had a talk to Jack I will be bringing his cones along so we should have plenty, also some velcro for peoples decks, to stick on your timer if they want times.
I have a friend with a machine shop.....Thing is ill probably have to pay him with a case or something like that. I'm also using cut-off or "waste" materials so the price is much lower. And all the hardware will be sourced locally (south coast fasteners). All of this results in a considerably lower price.

Looks beaut but I'm looking for something in the 180 range. 205 is huge in terms of what I have ridden.

What kind of price are we talking about? Would I have to purchase new axles on top?

Scrap that I've decided - at 1/4inch it'll be 179mm so at 3/8 inch it'd be 185mm.
