Been throwing around my new paragraph, unicorn and new used 5050.
I’m throwing my cerakote TopDeck and my Spinworthy Steadfast.
I though cerakote woul be a little tougher than it is. It lightly brushed my jacket zipper in play and got chipped. Still super cool.
How is the skyline 3 on wood? I’ve thought about trying it but wasn’t sure how it would hold up
I’ve always mildly worried about poly on wood but I’m not against trying it.
I’ve heard lots of horror stories about poly on wood. Skyline is like 99% nylon I think. I’d be curious if it’s as hazardous as poly. I love it on my survivalist. It would be so cool if the friction doesn’t burn through on wood. I haven’t tried every sting in the world but I’m pretty confident that skyline 3 is the best. I wish I could just put it on everything. Haha
That’s fair I’m not sure in nylon and wood. It’s a synthetic so my gut thought is it probably acts similar but I have no idea. I’ve always used cotton or a cotton blend on wood. I do toss poly or poly nylon blends in my plastic and metal fixed axles though.
It works well with those with response holes, otherwise it might be too slippy.
I’ve been using poly/nylon on a lot of my wooden fixies lately. Seems to be working well for me so far.
With this particular Knack + Skyline setup, I love how soft and elastic it feels, and response still remains consistent. It’s also a lot less snaggy compared to cotton strings. I also find that it has the right thickness for the Knack’s gap width and wall height to get nice STM arcs. I even broke my personal STM record with this.
Sweet throws! whats the one in the middle?
Thanks! It’s the Turner Return Tops ‚Isthmus‘. Awesome awesome awesome slimline throw. Up there with the Panorama and the Static Co. Wave.
I really like that unicorn.
It’s only preseason but I’m so stoked football is back! If you’re a football/NFL person you’ll know my team (sadly) from these colors lol
You from Cleveland? I’m from Pittsburgh hah.
the isthmus really is a good one!
Still Rollin came in today, really like these so far…not sure if I like the domes more than the ultralights, but it pull starts pretty nicely with the uls.
Love the half-swaps!
