Older bionic cubes needed

dman - 27-10-2010 at 05:08 AM

Does anyone have a line on some older bionic cubes? I need a softer set than the flesh colored ones I have now. Even at 200lbs I can hardly get a decent turn when riding without the kite.

they arent commercially available any more... i had the same problem a while back...

i think dakitez had a good deal on the whole truck a while back... maybe give him a call and see if you can upgrade the whole thing?

they make a bionic upgrade kit, but i couldnt use mine due to the older kingpin somehow fusing wit the rest of the truck- jaws of life couldnt break the bond... i can see if i still have it laying around... if i do, i can ship it to you cheaply, even include some yellow cubes if i still have them... the new yellow cubes are much softer than the old ones, btw

i may have a old blown out set, non are really that soft. 7's or 4's yellow or white all seemed really the same to me!

the king pin thing ...everytime i take one out its just broken pieces. i just end up running them broken.

if you can't get hooked up let me know

yea what color do you need... i have a customer/buddy who has several sets

OR you can do the truck upgrade kit to adapt the old style trucks to the new cubes.

Hell I'm a little worried now to pull em apart. I'm not sure of the color/stiffness conversion but I would like it a bit softer without getting death wobble.

Powerzone, maybe you can give me some guidance here.

I think if I can't swap em out I may just run em till they give up with the kite and use my MBS on the gravity stuff.
