Anyone have any experience with Planktoon trucks? I want to order a pair as they look well made and are cheaper than BRR's and Y's.

I got a set of the Rebirth Z's a while back and really like them.

The inverted kingping is good quality and hasn't come loose at all like cheapo china ones do. Not sure what the bushings are like as I replaced them with witchcrafts as soon as I got them (although regular witchcrafts fit RBZ's fine, I think the YTrucks edition of WCs would fit better). The hangers themselves are not 32mm they are 29mm and come with little brass extenders to ensure the wheels fit on the longer single axle.

They do not come with locknuts, but because of the single axle they are essential self-adjusting. Although occassionally I find I need to loosen the wheels on one side or the other as they tighten up a bit too much. In six months I've had a wheel pop off once, so pretty good.

I currently have mine set up with Oaks. They definitely need washers to run smoothly but other than that fit fine. YWheels don't seem to run as well.

Overall, I really like them.

Hope that helps

Incidentally, why doesn't Planktoon generate more buzz? They have some awesome products (look here, for example), but no-one ever seems to talk about them. Their completes cost as much as a set of BRTs and certainly look very nice. So anyone got anything to say about Planktoon?

Damn, those engraved Planktoon decks look nice, trucks don't look too bad neither.

I ordered their wheels 3 weeks ago. I reckon they're popular in Asia. The international shipping is expensive I would say. 0-2kg - 12$, priority - 30$


And here goes my question. Does the black paint on Blackriver Bike Rack wear away?

which admin removed my sig? because I'm confused of why .it was in the correct size/form? and i have seen waaaay bigger sigs then mine on here lately ?

the only active admin would be harvey, so it was probably him.

as far as i remember, you had the animated 3d pic in you sig. I'm pretty sure it was higher than 250px.

Looked way bigger than other people's sigs to me.

?

Your sig was taller than other people's, I'm assuming all other people's signatures are the right height, which means yours must have been too big, hence why it's been deleted, not really rocket science. :/

Or any BRR Rails : ]

BRTs wear pretty quick, or my white ones did anyway.

Same with Ys, I ground the paint off the hangers in one session.

Sorry, I misread your post, I thought you meant trucks! :/

I've found a black BRR Bike Rack on ebay, so I'd like to know if the paint wears away. If yes - buying it is pointless and I'd choose something else.


EDIT @Enternamehere - no problem

I'm not sure about the rails, sorry for getting things confused man!

1/26 of an inch, not entirely sure though

Most people use 1/42 of an inch, including me. 1/26 should work fine but usually 1/42 is good for 5 ply decks

Be prepared to wait though, the one downside is that the shipping took forever.
