Yes well underway but going a bit slowly as i have too much else to do right now.

Notes:
- lower deck is just 90mm wide, upper deck seems narrow or with less material as well but have not checked
- new weights, especially center 15g with TRF marking is super nice
- new motor mount is nice, don't think we'll ever use the center connecting piece
- no need for any shims between bulkheads and upper clamps anymore
- seems they changed bearing supplier (teflon shield more white and they seem better oiled)
- new kingpin (upper) has the ball 1mm closer to the threads (thus 1mm lower), manual shows to use 0.5mm under it

That's about it so far I think. Bonus springs white and blue included again (blue and yellow std). New setupsheet has a lot of info (much improved)...you can see that on my blog.


Have come a bit further than this already but no pics...
