What do you guys think of these center-sets? I am for sure picking up a set for DH, but kinda curious if they would work for LDP too. They might be a little too wide eh? I mean it would cause a lot of truck and deck bite i think. Still having a set of production style momos is crazyness! They frye trucks sound amazing as well. Thoughts?

| I think the idea behind the MoMo was that you could trim it down to pretty much any shape you might want. |

| with the smaller core the MoMos look like they'd be pretty cushy tho! |

I've wished that they'd come out with a reflex Grippin (centerset) in 74-76mm for sometime now. So the 77mm Centrax fits the bill, if a tad wide. It'd be a good rear wheel for some setups, particularly RTS trucks.  But I'd go narrower in front. |

Yeah good point, the traction would only be optimal for a rear I imagine. The momos are not going to be produced, but both sizes of the centrax will supposedly become available by the end of the summer/fall. I think I will pick up both sets, they look amazing! |

I'm very anxious to get my hands on a set of the Centrax's.
I think you could create something amazing if you lathed them
down a little.. I see big possibilities with these.
also, i personally think a 75 or 76mm reflex Grippin would
be the bees knees...
