Interesting bro. I was going to buy these but I don't think there's any problem with the 3 piece. I used to rock the 909s for a good year and the SLs slide way better.
I'm going to continue skating them for the time being to try and come back with a decently knowledgeable review later. Hopefully I'll notice some differences
Yes! My opinion has changed. All because of modern liners. I had a friend growing up who always skated razors and I hated trying his "clunky" feeling gens all the time. BUT, this is because when we were young, liners were thick and puffy, so we always stated size 8-9. Well, with the way intuitions and other companies like reign and myfit liners fit now, I'm able to downsize into a 7 razor sl shell. This has completely changed my perspective of the skate. I now see them as very solid and responsive skates. Having the right size skate can make or break it.
Not at all man, it's just overspray from where I painted my big skate box that I have yet to pressure wash out. 😂 I could definitely see how it could look like it had some kind of purpose though!
Thanks for the explanation. I just got mine and mounted. I had issues too with the bowing out/ not flush fit so I searched to see if that was a known issue. I still have some gaps, and it makes me nervous that the three screws have to hold it on laterally too. I'm a bigger guy and put a LOT of pressure on my soul parts when skating so I'll see how they hold up. I have the Kizer Fluid Vs in and I did not take them off (same thing - don't want to mess with the middle wheels). I was curious if that was the issue, but it seems like not...
Also, my hunch in razors going from the 3 piece to the 1 piece was probably more about material than the 1 piece design itself. I bet they had been designing/thinking about a 1 piece for a very long time, and now that they have a new "Premium" material they figured might as well make the swap if they're producing new sliders? Maybe fewer molds too?? Just speculation.
@@THEBLADINGCODE yeah at the very front and back. They’re not gigantic, but defiantly not flush like the 3 pieces were. I can try again with the frames off. Just tried to throw them on quickly
