people who run them, how do they ride? are they flexy at all? normal NS tuffs seem to be miles more flexy than old alloy hubbed ones to me and i wondered if the graphites are a POS or would they be okay for riding? and i mean riding in a park not just cruising along the sea front :daumenhoch:
might get myself a set for my new beat to give it the Mat Hoffman look of 87 (the only thing that would look like Mat Hoffman when i'm riding it) ;D

Ask Lenny lentini, he often runs a front graphite, (check the blackpool pics from Friday!)
Don't know whether he ever runs a pair though, might be a bit `normal' for him!!
MM

a bit normal :LolLolLolLol:
There was a guy running them on his Reflex at the last BR bash and he seemed to be doing okay on them, might give em a go for cruising and the odd sesh......i love my new 48's but street beats just need tuffs on really
-
I think it's Greame "Wadz" who runs them Rob - have a go on the 8th to see as I'm sure he'll be there jumping the jump-box with his fellow Doncastrian Jim "the big air" Oldtired.
-
yeah that was his name, if he's coming on the 8th i will ask for a go :daumenhoch:
-
Wadz is down for the boardroom on the 8th Rob :daumenhoch: , they do seem a fair bit stiffer than normal tuffs , assume there a bit lighter as well as they seem to spin up a bit quicker, rotational weight and all that :daumenhoch:

I thought graphites were made more for racing than park riding, they look the part but dont think they'll handle too well with a 15 stone lump bouncing around on them >:D
-
i've a couple of pair and i've had no probs with them , i've put a set on my CW California Freestyler and i'll be using that hard ,
Gaz you'll never have any probs with them as you only weigh 7 stone wet through :2funny: :2funny: ;)

I haven't been 15 stone for years! ;D ;D

I had a go riding with a regular Tuff on the front for a while a few years back but the flex was a pain in the arse, i persevered for a few months but went back to spokes eventually
-
had a pair on my Assassin for a while Rob and found them a bit heavy but i was racing it
-
Andy, nothing could be heavier than my 48's mate ;D they are bomb proof!! :daumenhoch:
