Description

Extended info and Sizing Charts

Thin-Ribs®: are our second generation sliders utilizing a special hard grade of nylon that offers longer slides and slightly lighter weight. The hardness of this material helps it to slide better than Rib-Bones on very rough surfaces. This material is fairly soft, but wears great. If you like a thinner profile rail, these are the rails for you. These Powell Thin Ribs are harder than other rails, which makes them slide faster. They are lighter than other rails and they attach with small screws - no drilling required to mount these rails. 14.5 x 5/8 x 1/4 inches.

Note: If you want the rib bone applied to you board, you will have to state so in the customer comments section of your order or the nose bone will come unattached.

Features

- Covers the sides of the board for protection when grinding and rail sliding. Only comes in Orange.
- Note: If you want the rib bone applied to you board, you will have to state so in the customer comments section of your order or the nose bone will come unattached.

Powell thin ribs are great and super easy to install.i don't see why they can't make some in other colors though,at least black. old school skaters like rails,even Steve Cab and McGill use them today.we need more than just orange.it would be nice to see Rib Bones available also..with bolts instead of wood screws.

Bought these for the kid. My son is sick and he has a very nice board so we wanted to get him these lightweight bones rails for when he wants to start really shredding.

- 5 stars - Awesome Rails

Review Date 2011-02-14 - Helpfulvotes 2 - Unhelpfulvotes 0 - Verfied Buyer? Yes -

These rails are awesome, they slide real fast and they REALLY help with grab tricks. If you're into Tranny or Vert skateboarding, they provide better grip when you do grabs, hand varials, boneless's, etc. They are super easy to install. You do NOT need a drill to bore holes in your board. It comes with screws with a sharp tip so you can just screw them in with a screwdriver/or skate tool. What I did was place the rail underneath (graphic side) where I wanted it to be. I then put the screw in the end-holes first, lightly tapped the top of the screw so that the point would go in the wood, then using a screw driver, apply downward pressure as you twist/screw in. Its really easy! You can even outline the Rail with a pencil if you want to get real perfect with it so you can position it perfectly where you want. You'll love these rails, get a few pairs, they're cheap! The only downside is that they do wear down rather fast, especially if you're grinding ledges/ curbs like I was, since they're rough. But they should last a little longer if you're grinding Half Pipe metal coping since its a slicker surface.

- 4 stars - Slides incredibly fast

Review Date 2012-09-17 - Helpfulvotes 0 - Unhelpfulvotes 0 - Verfied Buyer? Yes -

These area great step up from the old Rib Bones. While they are thinner (thin ribs) they slide incredibly fast and protect your board very well. They do wear out after awhile though because of all the slides. They seem to wear out faster than the old Rib Bones because they are thinner and slide better. You can grab comfortably the first couple of times, but then they start to wear out. Overall a pretty good product!
