PROTO Orion combo

[cralle]

You should make a 20/21/22 instead since the 19" is just ackward...

comments- my friend has one and I rode it around for a bit, heres my 2 cents
positive -
you can move the headtube up or down the deck (better for whips/better for flow)
headtube angle is perfect
brake is nice

cons -
FOOTSPACE (he has a 19, so I don't think this is really a problem since the deck comes in different sizes)

dropouts - thin as hell. the bottom part (used for grinds, stalls, etc.) is about as thin as a district, from personal experience, I can tell you that If you grind a lot these dropouts will literally fall off of the deck

bulky - may be a problem for some people, I don't care.

Alex can you measure the actual thickness of the deck. Like from the "deckplate" to the bottom. I wanna make sure It will be good with pegs before I spend $250 on a deck.

 

[Kroto]

what about your flight tom?

 

[TomK]

It is too thick for pegs to work properly, so I am getting rid of it. It is an amazing deck, but pegs do not work on it.

 

[Kroto]

oh that sucks, are you not able to use spacers or anything?

 

[TomK]

It is too thick, so the pegs don't even make contact with the rail or anything. They can fit on, but they don't do anything.

Just do 5050s then

 

[spencer cunningham]

after riding one yesterday i want one way bad!
if it works with pegs that is...

 

[TomK]

Tyler, I don't really feel like risking slipping out on 50-50 on round handrails.

 

[koring]

probally won't work with pegs either because Tsi nor proto make pegs so therefore the factor of peg use in there deck design could easily roll out of the picture but I am not sure... but t hat is probally what happenedwith tomk and his flight deck.

 

[TomK]

Yeah I slipped out on like 129030192 handrails with the flight deck, but the thing about them making pegs is pointless, phoenix decks work, they don't make pegs, so do old TSI decks, ultra pro's, Lucky decks did before they even made pegs.

 

[Steezeman]

The Orion is really good for 50's, like really good. The dimension you're asking for is 1 1/8".

 

[tylerbillman]

Like round rail 5050'able?

 

[Steezeman]

Yeah.

 

[dpnelson31]

Will anodized versions of the deck be out before Christmas you think?
I want a copper one!

Do pegs fit the deck or not? I don't care if it needs a spacer.
I am going to get this deck. Looks so sick and then I can be poor in college and still have a nice scooter to last me.

 

[Jakeforgothispassword]

just rode my friend's around a lot more yesterday, perfect for pegs

 

[Dustin Nooner]

perfect for everything you mean?

 

[Connzi machell]

Lime kitteh wants black integrated proto orions.
