they're fast and havent started chunking yet; but the durometer is too high for my liking. they'll probably get wrecked when they start to wear down a bit. but i probably wont be riding them much longer, i just have them as backups.
tap (NOT SLAM) them in with a hammer. if the bottom one doesnt go all the way in, it will when you tighten your compression. same thing happens to me, its not a big deal.
it feels longer tho, because of the wheelbase. wheelbase (measurement from axle to axle) has more to do with the feel of a scooter than deck length (measurement of the part you actually stand on).
this is for anyone coming from a V2i to my signature threshold, and being worried about how they will compare. this picture is taken with the axles lined up exactly, so its legit.

more footspace. the deck is the same size, but the headtube takes up less space than a V2i. and the neck is longer, so the wheelbase is longer.
