Tried cleaning your reds? My experiences with vault bearing have been a bit louder than others. New bearings are always going to be quieter.

Bones reds rattle on me all the time, no matter how tight I make them. Got some Vault bearings for my downhill board, not a sound, really silent bearings.

AND RANT YOU SHALL! Bearings are bearings, all bearings will roll at the same speed down a hill

Wow guys, People have really changed. 

 

Support what supports you.

 

Wow you're saving a few dollars (more then likely your parents) 

 

But if the long run, that few extra dollars you spend when purchasing gear with in Australia you will see the effects of that again. The Aussie shops that support us, Do them a favour and support them. 

 

Is that small amount you save worth the time you wait for shipping?? No its not. 

 

On a basic teenage wage.. call it $10/h ordering form the states saves you what... $50 at most??

Thats 5 hours work.. 

In the 3 weeks you wait for the gear to arrive, you have probs worked 17-30 hours.. $170-$300 bucks..

 

You could work 1 or 2 shifts and then order if from an Aussie store such as Hopkin, and have it on your doorstep the next day. 

 

Yes.. I like to rant :D

Vault is definately not quality, all made in china. I think that what we're learnt here is....GET A DADDOW

How the hell do you bust the seal sliding? are your bolts too tight? are you using speed rings? and I agree with merricks rant too. Support the local scene!

Dude, I was given almost $1000 worth of vault gear, all of it was copied of other designs, but produced horribly

example:
Complete Loaded Tan Tien Paris 180s, bones reds, Otang stims 86a, with bolts
Hopkins $435.00
MBS $393.05 thats with shipping,
That $41.95 that I can save can go towards many other things like food or a skate trip to the South Coast.

Well I will be attending Maryhill, and the money I saved from buying from MBS and such helped me get there. I'm also pretty sure MBS is a part sponsor of Maryhill festival of speed.
