Those that have ridden with me know that I'm not light on it. I run a detroit. I've driven everything. unpredicable. The detroit is more predectable than a spool in my opinion. cuz you don't always know which wheel is gonna scrub. a detroit, you know that if your on the power in a turn you have to pull the turn a little tighter, then when you let off the power you have to relax your pull on the wheel a scosch. I vote detroit. the only way to fucker it up is to pull a Kyung... Spools are cheap but they drive like crap. Either one is gonna have problems if you bend the housing. THe only option thats safe on a bent housing is to leave the spiders in it.
