    hey guys,

    I recently got a bamboo gt with the AT setup only. I would love to get going with a street setup just for the range. Are there any other options outside of the evolve street kit?

    I am a total noob here, so without any insight I would just get the evolve branded setup, but I have to imagine there has gotta be a way around paying $160??

    You will need the street kit belts, drive gears and belt covers... as for wheels I would go with Abec 97mm fly wheels, gives the full top speed potential of the board and rolls over cracks in the pavement far better than the smaller standard 83mm wheel. If you can find it in the softer 75a rating get those but if not then most places stock the 78a rating wheel - it will fit on the standard street wheel drive gear and uses the standard bearings that come with the board.

    Perfect thank you! Any idea how the range is on these since they are slightly larger? Also best place to buy?

    The range on these is huge compared to the AT setup.. you'll easily see 20+ miles in GT mode, more if you're taking it easier in fast or Eco mode...

    Sorry just noticed you have a Bamboo so range will be slightly less than my carbon GT, but still a massive improvement... :thumbsup:

    I believe Evolve's USA website is the only place online now that has those ABEC11 97mm 75A (which are supposed to be quite rare nowadays, I mean look at that price!)
