REY Trucks Review – LiteREY vs DeathREY

After riding both sets of the new REY trucks I thought it was time to break down the differences between the two killer, Michigan made, affordable precision trucks.

We’ll start with how the two are setup for context of this review. Both have 45º basplates (one is the new REYvolver baseplate), 170mm hangers, 10mm axels, flat precision washers and barrel Venom bushings (80a roadside/88a boardside).

Next lets talk weight. Some people like more weight carrying them down the hill, while others are looking to keep their truck setup as light as possible. Weight breakdowns:

LiteREY hanger: 270g + LiteREY baseplate: 220g = 490g
DeathREY hanger: 258g + REYvolver baseplate: 156g = 314g

That’s a difference of 176 grams, which isn’t a lot, but if you are looking for any way to take weight off the DeathREY and REYvolver combination is much lighter than the LiteREY.

The weight was shaved off the hanger by cutting holes in it as well as taking off edges around the hanger. Also the DeathREY is not as wide or tall. You’ll notice that the axels on the DeathREY are higher and therefore closer to the baseplate giving them a lower profile. The bushing seats are also different. The LiteREY has a wider opening for mean lean, while the DeathREY has a narrower opening for more stability and a bit less turn.

When comparing the baseplates you can see a few changes right away. Again it is lower all the way around. Material was shaved away creating a larger opening between the pivot cup and kingpin. The new REYvolver also has more wheel base options and the most striking feature is that it looks like a revolver. REY has taken CNC cutting to an art form.

What does this all add up to? Depending on what type of riding you do REY has something to offer. Their new DeathREY hanger in combination with the REYvolver baseplate is super light and a fantastic combination for going fast. The LiteREY is also a great truck with mean lean but a bit beefier. They do not cut corners with quality or craftsmanship, only price. They want every rider to be able to ride their product, not just for wealthy and sponsored.

Been a while since I wrote something

Here goes take one at original content.
aka first text post of the year.
aka 57. (see what I did there?)

Tumblr is funny. Over the past year or so I’ve inadvertantly interviewed pretty much everyone I follow. From skatedistrict to longboardlotus.

I used to post them all on here, but I stopped. Because. Laziness?

In the last months of 2012, I coined the word #longblogger. Without further ado, check out the most recent longblogger interview. Mr token.ninja. aka Shawn Tseng.

Blood Orange has been killing it lately here in Northern California with lots more to come from their riders and product line in the future. Jack Boston is a fresh videographer that is doing rad work capturing our homies with the camera. He does a good job providing us with more than just skate porn - this has feelings and you may fall in love with the story line. Scope the “One Day” series starting with Don Greasy himself Miam Lorgan…

THANE MAGAZINE: Rayne Neighborhood Review

Stokelahomie Kyle Ramsey orchestrates the review of some of the new Rayne Longboards products: the new Rayne Avenger and the new Rayne freeride wheels. ”I wanted to get the opinions of some of the guys I skate with, including some of the local grommets.The feelings were pretty unanimous, the Avenger is everything you could ask for in a top mount. The wheels were some of the most quiet wheels we’ve ridden. Straight out of the package ready to shred. Thanks to the neighbourhood homies for helping out with this, be on the lookout for more reviews from Thane Magazine.”

Skate District posters on sale! For 5 bucks. 5 bucks is about the costs of a cup of coffee and a muffin, and it directly supports Sam and his incredible photography.

If we do not support our artists, we sacrifice our dreams on the altar of cruel reality.

“I was fighting for my life, literally, to really put it in perspective, in those 3 years that I had that shoe out, my own pro shoe on Converse, there was two and a half of those years that there was no way in hell that I would ever be able to get enough money together that would allow me to walk into a store and just buy a pair on my own if I wanted to…” Anthony Pappalardo.
