Been waiting for going on 3 weeks for this board to arrive. And does this
baby fly. My son couldn`t keep up with me on his bike when I took it out
for a test spin. 
It came with Gravity Super G 73mm 85a black wheels but I decided to put
a set I just bought from mile high with Rockin Rons Rockets inside kryptonic
hawaiian 70mm 78a. What a differense they made. |

| Nice rig, Jim. Now please make sure you replace those kingpins with some grade-8's... |

I believe the Grind King king pin set I bought from you are Grade 8. Aren`t
they? Was reading on the bomberonline forums that one of the guys there
uses them on them on his randals, that s why I bought them.
Anyways, let me know when when you get more rockets in.  I might
need a few other parts to. |

The GK's are too short at 2" for them to make your R-II's all turny and stuff. Get some 2.75" kingpins, and put in double Khiro barrel bushings and new bushing washers.
Mark, not a slam, but I'm surprised you let the Randals escape without at least a kingpin upgrade. |

I didn`t get board set up from Mark, so its not his fault. This was a
Streetboardz.com setup. Took forever to get it. Never gonna deal
with again.
Guess I`ll be looking for the longer kingpins then, I do have a setup of
grindking trucks they`ll work on anyways. |

I no longer sell Randals. Too many problems, and too little support from the manufacturer.
And yes, those GK's will be way too short. The stock Randal kingpin is 2.5" long. |

Now you can see why I'm not stocking completes...
And I'm waiting on Ron to fill our back order of Rockets. |

Yeah, I like to build my own. Funny, I keep a stock of grade 8 bolts
just like the ones you stock. I need to use them on the tractor I work on.
I`ll just have to check lengths and thread sizes to see if there a match.
The Khiro bushings I already have, bought a box of them from Mark.
Great bushings, I love the blue ones on my freestyle board. |

Just swapped out my kingpins with grade 8 - 2.5" bolts and found that the
randal 180 front truck had a stripped nylock nut on it. I wondered why I
could not tighten it. Had to go and buy a couple new 3/8" nylocks for them.
I also changed out the randal bushings with my khiro`s and what a difference
they have made. This Sector 9 board has great flex for my weight at 175lb.
and it handles fantastic now that I have been able adjust the trucks properly.
Thanks for the advice guys. |
