2stacksuperdog Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Thoase are 50k rears. No cones and no outer trunnion but you can see the trunnion tube sticks out further then in a 46k rear suspension. 2 Quote Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctkiteboarding Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 thanks ....any issues good bad ugly? concerning 50's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stacksuperdog Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 thanks ....any issues good bad ugly? concerning 50'sA lot of guys spend the extra money for them for the extra strength. Terzians Cls for example had them and many other around here. Not too heavy and not light either. Should have the single piece housings being 50s where as 44s of the same year commonly have the 2 piece ones that crack and leak. They usually start the single piece with 46 and up.
