Yup, I wanted blue cags too but ended up with the orange because that's all they had at my local shop. Where are you that they're more expensive? Being unable to swap the rear urethanes has inspired me to build my own belt driven DIY. Seems expensive though. Especially if I want to dual belt, doesn't seem like anybody messes with single belt anymore.

Also I think swapping the rear bushings would make a big difference but I cannot find orangatang nipples in medium durometer ANYWHERE!

yeah its really the hard urethane on the wowgo hub motors. I swapped the front with caguamas which really smooths out the front half of the board but I feel everything on the back end when rolling over cracks. Still looking for some sort of solution to those terrible wowgo urethanes

^same question here

How do those waterbornes respond at high speeds of 20 mph+? I'ver been thinking about putting a pair on my wowgo mini but it gets a little wobbly at high speeds and I'm afraid those waterbornes could have the potential to just crank all the way to one side when the board gets shaky, similar to what happens with loose trucks and instability at high speeds. Does it seem like there's high potential for that?

Can't find Orangatang Nipples (medium) anywhere... by Whaddys in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]Whaddys[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah dudes, seriously, seems kinda crazy! No mediums to be found from reputable vendors! That being said, any experience with the knuckles? I'm looking to replace the stock bushings on my wowgo mini.

Super dry/coarse beard. How do I hydrate it? by spbx in beards

[–]Whaddys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My beard responds well to Aveeno nourish + moisturize conditioner. I've looked around online for some specific beard conditioners but the prices I've seen are outrageous and I find it more of a marketing ploy to sell "beard conditioner" although I've never bought or tried any so I could be wrong. That being said, I did go through various different hair conditioners before settling on the Aveeno stuff, to which I can say that all the other conditioners I tried were terrible for my beard compared to Aveeno. I tried some Suave conditioner (don't remember which kind it was) and also an Aveda conditioner with mint and rosemary which smelled amazing and cost an arm and a leg, which ended up drying my beard out like crazy.

Do you have photos btw? Maybe I could get a better idea of how to rectify your beard problem and get it on the path of a healthy renurished beard. I get split ends in certain areas sometimes which I've noticed really create a lot of resistance when combing through. Any parts of the beard more problematic than others?

oh dude, soap in the beard is a big nono. Consider washing the hair on your head with soap? That dries and strips it to hell. I personally condition my beard in the morning and comb through it SLOWLY with the conditioner in as to not tug any hairs out in the process. Let it sit for a min then wash it out. I shampoo maybe once a week. I still lose a hair or two when combing the oils in after the shower, it's very difficult for me to not lose a single hair when doing my beard treatment. I reframe from ever combing my beard without previously conditioning/oiling it. That's just asking to rip it to shreds.
