i have a nice collection of carbon decks , ckb LB03,the third deck paul made ,a shortdeck and LB77,a slightly longer thinner deck, with a central rib built into the bottom l and a late d-ex , i've recently been sorting out my kite room so i can go staight to stuff, rather than f*** and fart about looking for stuff,like i was before
and i still have 4 sets of twiststars still in working order , mbs stopped making them cause people were very clumbsy in how they used these wheels -bolt them on before you pump them up, i got my mate to machine me some alloy base plts , as i had a habit of breaking the crappy cast ones and he made me a pair of titanium ones, (which i then drilled out to remove more material) base plts for LB77 and i used titanium bolts and nuts where i could on all 3 boards , and i know paul hartland quite well and he made me some carbon footstrap brackets, enough for all the decks i had
my intent was to make them as light as possible-i even used heavy webbing for the strap rather than those heavy footstraps with adjustable brackets on
the D-EX is under 5 kilos ,and the lightest but there isn't much in it between them , they are my pride and joy , and i have spent many years collecting - i'm really good at buying stuff but not selling it -that is why i desperately needed some order and tidyness .
