    Konki's are hilo arent they? If they are then its (Front to back) 72-72-80-80

    I think it looks small due to the worn wheels. Give it some time, and I think it will be sweet.

    Hey Aussie, how much does the mount job cost in Melbourne? They dont really do it here in perth, and if they do they use countersunk screws.

    Yea I do... but at the moment they are down the pecking order as I just got some OPS. You interested? ;) let me know as I need to trim down the herd a little. This, coming from just two shafts a few years ago...

    Finally got all my sticks together... still have one Mission team comp, but thats a few thousand miles away at mom and dad's... All 85-90 flex, except for one Mission M2 (100flex) and the Inno 1100 (260)

    stock, I'm the only one that wears sprungs here in Perth (or I think I'm the only one). Everyone else plays with stock skates and gear and wont try anything 'customed' I must say that from the start, these have been great. I've never been the fastest, most agile or best skater, but the sprungs have given me a lot more confidence. I've had 3 alu chassis dented before, and skates didnt really fit very well. Keith (Sprungster) suggested that I try the Torspos deal that he has, and although the skate doesnt look as 'flash' as some others, I must say that they are solidly built, and the baking was pretty easy. Heel lock has been fantastic, my heels really lock into the skate. The sprungs work really well for me, I can stop much better, and turning is good too. I cant stop on a dime like some guys I know, but it has improved a lot since I've been on Hilos (and vanguards). Am now thinking of whether I should get rid of my wicked skates, or have the chassis swapped with sprungs.

    Drew, any chance to sell the purple gloves?

    hey gee, what size are those skates
  11. fatwabbit
    I've tried both the alu and MG chassis, and it really doesnt make a difference. At the end of the shift, I'm still out of breath and flopping onto the bench. The weight difference is minute, its mainly the dent resistance of the MG over the alu. That being said, MG is more prone to brittle fracture compared to the more ductile alu... lay man terms, MG stiff, alu not as stiff.

    ok, thanks... the same type of paint would cost about $15 a can here at Bunnings... got some leftover paint from the time i sprayed my cage, maybe I'll do that again for the chassis.

    that looks sweet... is Krylon the brand or a type of coating?

    stick envy??

    rank, sent you a pm on chassis
  16. fatwabbit
    how come there's a RH stick?
  17. fatwabbit
    the RBK 9ks dont look that flashy... thought it would have been something really looking for attention.
  18. fatwabbit
    is it me, or do those RBK 9K's look a little bit larger than the other skates???
  19. fatwabbit
    wow.... that combo is sick!... any chance to get a jersey like that... and yellow is my lucky color.
  20. fatwabbit
    yup... back to front wheels 80-80-72-72. Not sure if its me, but I've tried a few models that had the new vanguard frame, and cant seem to get the same turns etc... maybe i'm not used to the more neutral pitch of the vanguard, but I tried using them for about 1 month before I went back to the older mission hi-lo. The overall weight is fantastic, its friggin light, and everyone at the rink was asking me about the skates. I had to use some halo wheels on them as I didnt have enough 72mm wheels (stocked up on 80mm and 76mm wheels, but no 72mm). They still work great though...

    I know this was posted before... I believe it was Buzz's collection?
  22. fatwabbit
    ever thought of selling some of them? ;)
  23. fatwabbit
    Yea Top-shelf... those are the 1200c. D-man88 hooked me up with these. They are frigging light, and a lot more comfortable than my previous skates. Used them last week, and I felt the old nimbleness returning. Stops and crossovers were great, I even feel confident turning left!!! haha...

    rwclifto, I've got some of those stickies if you interested, PM me...
  25. fatwabbit
    Look at what arrived at the post office today (not at my doorstep, my wife didnt pick it up for me :( ) thank you D-man88 for pimping my ride.... 3 of the 4 wheels are RRMB816's, and the odd one out if a factory halo... those are the only wheels i have in 72mm that used a micro bearing.
