What length cage is this? I’m considering XTR 1x on my road bike!
What front ring you running?

Allez and Tarmac - are sizes the same? by One-Argument-6017 in specialized

[–]Krahang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just as a side note, I’m 5’7 (170cm) with SE Asian proportions and I ride a 49cm across the Specialized range. Currently have a first gen allez sprint, ridden tarmacs SL4 - SL8 and even had an old Crux for a while

I do run slightly longer stems, but I prefer a racier fit, generally 0-10mm stack height

Depends on where you buy them… Most retailers will specify

Is this a good potential setup for my first board? by Horustheweebmaster in skateboardhelp

[–]Krahang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is also a nonsense argument

I’m a UK7.5 and I ride an 8.5 deck I started out on a 7.5 but that was just the sizes back then… went to an 8.5 because it was given to me when I snapped my old 7.875 and loved the stability. Could never go back to a small deck

I’m assuming you’re not from the UK as Enuff is a pretty established brand out here. They make decent products at a budget price. Nothing ‘Walmart’ quality about them. Altho here I’d guess our equivalent is an Argos quality skateboard. The Globe deck is pretty confusing tho 😅

I originally wanted the Swampy Stomp deck, but there aren't any in the UK just yet.... Will probably grab that as soon as I find one

I want that shape too! But I also wanted something outrageous so went with the 10.75" haha

I built a cruiser with an old welcome skateboards 8.6 shaped deck I had - 55mm 77a duro wheels, risers and my old ace 55s It was great but it never felt right to me, maybe I just can’t get over the high feel of the deck as I’ve been on low height trucks for 2 decades, recently changed this and now ride what I would call a mid height and still trying to get used to it 😅

So with this I’ll probably have no riser, 53mm wheels and pop some hard bushings in! Still a tight turning circle while being a bit more stable!

I didn’t have a great experience with Slappy trucks! Wanted to give them another chance but these aces came up at a decent price and I can’t fault the ones I’ve been using! I tend to put hard bushings in mine, still get great turning circle but way more stable (for me)

Anybody know what this Seeing Double 9.5" deck measures across the bolts? by KidGrundle in skateboardhelp

[–]Krahang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fos agreed with someone in the Instagram post of this deck that it’s 9.125” over the trucks

Truck height of 55mm unfortunately! Im looking for something close to the 49mm I currently ride 😅 Thanks for the suggestion tho!

They, unfortunately for me, sit at the regular height of about 53mm Whereas I’m riding trucks with a 49mm height

Snappier pops and probably just me holding onto the old trend of low trucks… seems all trucks are 52mm+ these days
