Hi Nick,
Can you take more pictures of the nose at different angles? I'd like to see how damaged it is. How did you fix it?

Merrick, I'm quite new to this sport.......I have never heard of SOE trucks before?

i believe he meant to type "some" and mistakenly typed "soe"

Oh haha, if that's the case, can I get more info on them please? Pictures talk a thousand words.

Made a bid on the Classic of leeso's.

If that falls through, I will strongly consider your board Nick.

Are these the Original or Black Ops version? How much is 'slightly' used?

Depending on answer, I'll take the set of 4 off your hands.

They have had a few slides on them, the bottom one is slightly coned by only by a few mm.
If you using these for just general longboarding then they are sweet as, they are no less grippy than when i first got them and still roll true (no flat spots) and nice. They are the original formula which in my opinion is better for cruising around on because they seem to like rougher pavement more than the new black ops

otherwise i have a set of Orangatang In Heats 83a that i have lathed down to 65mm... i have no idea how these ride but the edges are sharp and good as new, they arent 100% flat but pretty close to it, i'd say 98.9% flat but after a few rolls and a few slides they should even out. $30

I don't have any experience with the Randal DH trucks, but I'm going to assume they're not really designed for commuting/carving. Thanks anyway.

when you say "2 x", do you mean like 8 wheels, or 2. if you have 8 id love to take a set of four off your hands, would you split up?
