[Jordan Jasa]

Madis got a bunch of them once, by mistake i think. maybe for his friend, i forget. You need a special fork though.

 

[jakob-b]

[Big L]

i really wanna see a nice scoot with them, i think they look good and i wouldnt mind them at all

 

[Eric Magray]

they are faster than 110s and id wanna ride em for a day just to try them out

 

[Madis]

They are great, really fast and smooth. Feels like the wheels are doing all the job when popping an air out of a hip.

I want people to buy them off my hands.

 

[Big L]

don't you need an extender for the back?

i think i saw it on mitchells collectables.

 

[Madis]

They fit on micros with no problem, even with the brake mounted on.
For Razors, you'd have to remove the brake.

 

[Scooter Mcgee]

umm if you want?
I would just buy a micro

I'm riding on a pair right now, I'm not too impressed with them, the bearrings were difficult to put in (however when they go in, they STAY IN!). I do like the feeling of riding a little higher from the ground, it feels better when hitting jumps and quarterpiles (I particually like the feel of them on quarterpipes, I don't know why they just feel good!)

My main gripes about them is they're slow and heavy (I weighed it, after adding the new wheels and pegs(which arn't that heavy) it weighed exactly 10 pounds)

It feels like it's holding me back when I ride, when I hit my halfpipe, I barely get enough speed to do the tricks I want to do when I want, sometimes I gotta give an extra push inbetween each side to keep up my momentum.

For those that don't think they fit, they do... Sorta. The back tire fits but there's not alot of room between the wheel and the break (causing faster stop reactions, but not much of a big deal) The front wheel however, I couldn't fit it on, I had to take the cap off the bottom of my forks then take a sanding tool and sand down the forks so they fit. 3 minute fix no biggy.

Here's some pics:

what if you can't just buy a micro.
what would be a strong way to put them on the back
of a razor with a brake?

 

[William Biedrzycki]

Mine fit with the break as you see from the pic.

Things I didn't mention:

-The rubber is REAL rubber, not that plastic crap.
-The cores are metal or aluminum or something, they're really tough.
-Uhh, they're really tough lol.
-They're really quiet.

 

[zakmak]

wait what?
im confused the thread was about 125 yaks
are those 125 yaks? but amazing metal core yaks?

 

[William Biedrzycki]

I bought them from the Yak website and they said 125 MM so I asume yes.

 

[Big L]

so Will, they do fit in the back with no modifications?

 

[Stall]

the micro stock wheels are 120mm anyway so 125 would fit easy

 

[William Biedrzycki]

I did nothing different to the back wheel, they fit for me.
