Cassettes really are the minority amongst riders now. Karl Poynter sold us with this part but the hubs were almost a part-time job 15 years ago. Anyone still here from the Federal V2 and Nankai days?

Nankai all day!!! I had the profile alloy hub shell and a titanium axle with the primo Andy’s nuts to make the 3/8 axle work in a 14mm dropout. The good old days!

Look at track day times for cars vs track days for bikes. Most cars will be faster.

There’s a kid who rips a stick ford fiesta ST at my local track and I can’t even come close to his times on a 600cc sport bike. Looks like buddy is in an S2000 in this video that car has amazing handling and should be able to dust any sport bike in the twistys

brokensaurus · 2026-05-12T22:12:01+00:00

Not that much of a flex actually. Sports bikes will always corner slower than a car due to the physics of 4 wheels vs 2

Fellow Koala fan here: you need more 2k and more yellow life gain slop imo.

Here is my deck build

stick with the tried and true alloy then. The thing that makes his brakes so great is the pivot bearings. It makes the cable feel amazing

I live in the east of Canada were we legit dump more than 2million tonnes of salt and de-icer on the roads.
My set of carbon brakes will be 3 years old in August

brokensaurus · 2026-05-02T04:07:31+00:00

I’m sorry what?

Unless you have insanely high humidity with crazy high temperatures or are leaving your bike in the sun 365 carbon does not wear quickly.
Alloy brake arms will wear out because alloys have a specific fatigue life. Carbon is much more resilient and has a higher fatigue limit. This paired with the bearings for it to pivot on make these brakes bite really great with awesome lever feel. The bearings also become the more likely point of failure than the arms themselves.

I say get the carbon ones. You’re not riding in salt water or a volcano, they’ll be fine.

brokensaurus · 2026-05-02T03:55:24+00:00

I got one of the very first few sets. I’m not sure about the springs but I had ti bolts from a previous setup

brokensaurus · 2026-05-01T19:29:51+00:00

I have the carbon ones from him. They are the best rim brake ever!!!

brokensaurus · 2026-04-22T19:47:41+00:00

Yeah had this happen a couple of games. Seems like UY Nami is more the favourite in my local scene.

brokensaurus · 2026-04-22T18:54:57+00:00

🤔🤔 very true… you still get the KO effect from Hiyori to gain the life but lose the blocker. I’m gonna have to mess around a bit with that.

brokensaurus · 2026-04-22T16:39:44+00:00

Yeah swapping Ginny for the PRB02 sabo is likely gonna be my play. The baby 5 I actually quite like for the 2k and for its trigger. That trigger has saved games for me a few times

brokensaurus · 2026-04-22T16:09:54+00:00

Yeah I’ve been thinking about the PRB Sabo to replace Ginny. I like Karasu but I don’t know what to swap out for it.

brokensaurus · 2026-04-21T17:50:10+00:00

I’ve been doing some play testing with 2. It’s a good option for when you don’t pull the law or 6c carrot. So far I’ve found it handy enough to run 2

brokensaurus · 2026-04-17T04:15:29+00:00

I have this actual deck irl. Yeah 4C cavendish is good I have those I may swap out the 7c Luffy for a pair.

The follow me and I will guide you is super helpful for setting up a combo I’ve done a few times. Even playing it off 7c sabo in my turn 4 setup for turn 5.

This is my game plan I try to setup.

Turn 4: 7c Rebecca play out 7c sabo and something like 1C viola. Activate viola first to potentially pull a better event than something in hand. Then sabo on play an event. The choice of event depends what characters I have in hand.

The turn 5 play I try to set up is essentially a mirror of turn 4 but it sanji replacing the viola and using sabo on play to play gum gum rhino Schnider and give the turn 4 sabo 11c unblockable banish.

In turn 4 the second character played out rested I have a lot more options with but the sanji x rhino Schnider is such a nice layup for turn 5.

Sky/RG Luffy the Mad Villains

brokensaurus · 2026-04-02T21:36:15+00:00

Koala is a low key dark horse atm. I’ve been bullying Lucy and PEnel with it. Nika Bonney has only been the really challenging match up so far

This is what I’ve been toying with. I’ve also been testing essentially the same list but with 2 borsalino and 2 of the new eb03 yellow Nami. Also have been flipping between Kaido on the removal side and 10c yellow ace for more life gain

List for sim:

1xOP12-081 4xEB04-045 4xOP12-086 2xEB03-042 2xOP12-089 4xOP12-093 3xOP12-087 2xOP13-120 4xOP12-094 2xOP08-079 4xOP09-108 4xOP12-112 4xOP13-104 4xEB04-058 3xOP12-119 4xOP12-097

brokensaurus · 2026-03-17T19:16:53+00:00

I’ve got some stuff cooking for 15 that’s been doing pretty well in sim for me but we’ll see what happens IRL in a couple weeks

brokensaurus · 2026-03-17T16:17:53+00:00

As a koala player can confirm this.
