Do they stay good with no play? The cheap ones i bought have a lot of play even though i lubed and tightened them with spacers. That seems to slow them down a lot
Only in the sense of pop timing changing, and they are hefty. But not too heavy. Nowadays these wheel cruise with my 9.75 deck with half inch risers to allow deep turns. That ones a lil bit tougher to Ollie 🫡
@AustinPatton-iw3lu yea I'd say give them a shot for that set up! Without risers it was just to much wheel bite for my liking. I should probly remake this video but with the new set up it's on. Injoy the day brutha! If you want to try them, do it!
one drawback is that they feel like the drag-on. Stupid puns aside, they feel kinda slow and i have to constantly push to maintain speed for more than 5 seconds.
Interesting! I found they felt a bit bouncy, have you worn them in all the way? When they have the treads still they definitely feel like they are dragging in the ground I agree!
@@MNKYBOYLGND i cant exactly do powerslides to wear them in cus im a new skater but i tried my friends board with spitfire 93a and it felt faster than my dragons.
clean your bearings. I have 2 sets of dragons, both are faster than spitfire 97a radial fulls. even on smooth concrete, soft wheels are often times slower on smooth concrete or wood.
I use to just take them completely apart, clean them and put em back together. Lol I made so much money off it too. One of the older guys from the park who was on “flow” gave me like 10 sets of old bearings (so 40 bearings) & a bottle of speed cream & paid me 250$ to clean them all in 3 days before he hit the road with his shop team.
I mean you can try Lol I was maybe 16-17 when I did this and it was mostly for people who went to my school and people at the park, if you know a bunch of people who skate and have old bearings just laying around, pitch the idea to them and see what happens. I pretty much just said “instead of adding to the pile of old bearings why not just have a bunch of clean ones or clean spares to carry around with you”. As an adult I’d probably just get one of those ultrasonic cleaners take the shields off the bearings and just put them in , let em dry and then lube.
Worst company ever, it’s runned by pieces of shit. Waiting my board for 4 years and they don’t respond to any mails, so much people are scammed…FUCK THEM!
