Great for some, but not for me.

I've skated derby on these plates for almost three years, and have three main problems with them:
1. The pivot cups. I've broken three. And "universal" pivot cups are a joke to these skates. You know what's not that great? Skates with pivot cups rigged from rubber tubing.
2. The reverse kingpin things. You can NOT adjust the trucks with a nutdriver-- it takes a screwdriver and a very thin wrench (I machined one down to make it fit). This makes adjusting trucks way more of a pain and can wear your parts out if you don't get the screw, bushing setup, and bottom nut all working together. The hardest-to-adjust trucks I've EVER worked on.
3. These plates are super long, at least on a size 7 skate, longer than any other non-high-end plates for that size. After getting used to this plate length, I'm going nuts trying to find a plate I'm at all comfortable with-- these run 3/4 inch longer than Probe OR PowerDyne plates for that size.
Just sayin'.

Nova - Best Plate for the < $

This plate rocks! I've skated both high end Prolines & Roll-lines, & this plate compares in durability & responsiveness, but for far less $$. It's also super lightweight which is an added bonus. The only thing it may lack is the "bling factor."

I have used the Nova for 15 years; skated many events and it keeps on working. I have never adjusted the trucks or bent an axle. For the money you can't go wrong.
