hi

I have a 5x80 frame that is easy to control in turns and slides but it's too slow on rough surfaces.

I want a faster frame for tracks without complicated turns or hard slides.

I'm thinking on a 5x84 but what do you think about 5x90?

is 5x100 too big?

thanks a lot

5 x 100 is too big and you can't find strong frame like mogema in these size.

5x90 is the best because you can have 90mm wheels for race without complicated turns and you keep more grip in the turns due to the frame's size.

But usually when you have a 5x90 frame you use 84mm wheels.

thanks for the info.

I have one question about that.

5x90 is usually 14,33"

so, if I find a 5x84 14,33" I would have the same but with lower gravity center.

isn't it?

maybe yes, it should be a little bit lower

but if you take a 5*90 you would be able to put some 90mm wheels Wink
