Halo drive cone

[Fletch]

I can imagin how messy a halo would be if the drive cone snaped and broke all ya balls but is it realy worth paying £20 for a stronger cone ? How offen do the standard cones break ?

cheers

I've been using HALO's for ages now and.................




I was going to answer this but didn't want to tempt fate..

Surely they are only going to break if you are diving/sliding about and you gat is taking a pounding (that rules you out Russ )

Ive heard some nasty things about those metal shocktech cones, but still if you can get it to work its one less thing that can break.

the normal one works fine enough...

i also have heard really bad things about the metal ones.

My cone broke a fin once, but it wasn't really a HUGE deal. I just thought in the long run a Shocktech cone/rip drive would save me money and time. So bought one. I'm also planning on doing some custom milling to it when I go back to Texas to make it even lighter. I would recomend this ST drive cone.

Myself and every one of my teammates have broken off the plastic tab under our drive cones. Some people fix them by putting in a tiny screw and others buy an aftermarket drive cone. I put a critical drive cone in mine and have been very happy with it although it is far more expensive than a tiny screw. I really don't understand why there isn't a small piece of metal molded in there to begin with since this has been a problem since the beginning.

most likely because they can sell you a new cone for $15...?

And because you are feeding paint into a gun with it.

If your board is putting that much force on your drivecone, then its putting too much force on the paint in your stack!!!

Me and my team all use intelifeed halos, we have never had a broken drivecone yet!!!
