Unless it was @moon who said it, I would wait for him to chime in on it. I was running them with six shooters and I know most people have been either using berg’s with street setups for the rockstars/superstars.
I’d ask him directly to see what wheels it will work for. Any particular reason you are going with the e-toxx wheels besides what they look like?
I’m a big fan of the offset of these wheels. I also really like the look. @Itsmedant it was moon who said they will not work with etoxx wheels. @Mainflow I’ll pm you to get your exact setup. Thank you
@Tom, that’s what im trying to do. I really liked the way the kaly deck rode. I liked the width of the trucks and the stability. Care to share the differences between the mbs truck and kaly, ride wise?
My personal opinion when I rode the original lacroix (MBS trucks) vs Kaly was that the MBS gave a more snowboard feel and the Kaly gave a more mountainboard feel … that’s my best explanation , I like both for different reasons ,
Kaly trucks are precision, leaps and bounds higher quality than MBS M2s. MBS M2s are great trucks, don’t get me wrong, just not the same quality of manufacturing as Kalys.
If you wanna get by without spending a fortune I’d suggest a Kaly deck with Trampa Infinity trucks running @moon AT Gear Drive.
No, I’ve worked with applications for angular contact before, it only applies to EXTREME side load, for example the steerer tube bearing on motorcycle/bikes etc. Where the axial load can exceed radial load. For motors, even helicals, angular contact is too… angular. At least the cartridge type bearings on the market. For proper application, helical gears should be using needle conical bearings, but those don’t exist really in the sizes we need, so deep groove ball bearing will do the job just as well. Deep groove axial ratings exceed anything a helical gear will ever put out. the gear will shear before it pushes apart a bearing.
