Thanks, build thread here Powertrip - a big mess of an esk8
I think you’re right to keep weight down 1.5-2kg for a slight improvement. I didn’t give it a second thought until I had to drag it even just a few hundred metres.
I understand that way too much, I have redone some stuff several times over lots of hours before getting any riding and I think it helps to kick it around with someone a bit.
