These are such a brilliant idea. The tail drag on steeper trails is my absolute nemesis. I will definitely be giving these a shot. Thanks for all you do for the OW community.

Jake, I have enjoyed your videos from day one. Your video on foot stance and turning continues to shape how I ride. Thank you and the rest of The Float Life crew for everything you guys do for the OW community. You guys are basically what FM had the opportunity to be!

I go lift for clearance especially when I'm going up or down steep inclines. As for the wobble problem this trick comes from EUC riding tutorials instead of leaning opposite ways you use a twisting motion of hips and feet to stabilise.

Add a rubber polymer bumper to the axle surround and you would get some light dampening.. you could also make an Allen key adjustable,axle with index marks so a purchaser could customize their profile, axles one way to raise with Allen bolts, swap block sides to lower. my only real thought on the design, looks good to me though. :),

Yo bud I had asked you some questions on your 1/2&1/2 riding test video, you responded to me and that helped me decide to go ahead and purchase these. I have them on my GTR lowered with an 11” 10A Hoosier treaded. Gotta say I love them. The smaller diameters plus the drop equals nose dive proof. Awesome product!

If one side is reversible wouldn't you just be able to sell the 2 different hub sides for a combo kit? So a 3 pack instead of 2 separate kits?

Hi Jake. I just installed the lower kit on my WTF Growler. They are really well designed and machined, nice job. I subsequently bought a lift kit to put on my trail board. I have a question though: Did you have an issue running your battery cable through your lift kit channel with W rails? I feel like there isn't enough slack in the cable to arc up the W and then higher into the new lift axle. Were you and TFL able to bend it around without shorting any wires in that bundle?
@JakeLeary
@JakeLeary 2 жыл бұрын
It’s no prob at all with Ws. The lift kit has an identical battery side block as the lower kit, but you install it upside down on the lower kit. Only on the lower kit does the cable goes above the outer bolts.

It depends on the tire, but you can put spacers in between the fender and rails and get longer bolts if necessary

Well for a heavier rider it does take more time and power to brake especially going downhill. Do you scrape the tail heavily on your current set up?

Hombrew rails are replacement rails that do not change the shape of your board. They’re just stronger than stock rails.

Jake - I also emailed Float Life. They suggested I reach out to you directly with this question… So I’m not sure if I’m thinking too hard on this but have you tried the lift/lower kits on the WTFs and what would that feel like? Any benefits or concerns either way? Thanks Could you do a video on testing it out if it’s compatible and what it would be like?
@JakeLeary
@JakeLeary 2 жыл бұрын
For sure planning to make a video on this. WTF with the lift feels quite similar to tail rails and with the lower kit it feels reallllly nice and low, but without too much loss of clearance.

Porque no los dos? The lift-drop kit adds both a lift and a drop to put your board exactly in the middle sweet spot for the best of both worlds. Super easy to install, you don't even have to unscrew the wheels.

Hey Leary, I am still waiting to get an email back from the float life before purchasing, I wanted to confirm if I would get free shipping if I do a review because shipping from Canada is not cheap! I really would like the lowering kit to make my ride more stable, also do you know if these axles are lighter weight than the stock axle

Does dropping the board increase chances of nosedives?
@JakeLeary

It’s more likely that the nose will scrape, but since it scrapes earlier / at less of an angle it’s much easier to deal with if it does happen
