Ethic Vulcain V2 Boxed Deck

Unfortunately the deck had porosity and holes in the welds to no fault of The Vault staff. Fortunately i called and the staff at The Vault started a return for me and were super cool and understanding. They went above and beyond and even got the replacement deck sent out the same day i called.

This is the first street-oriented deck I've purchased and I'd have to say it was probably the best option for me. Been riding it for a few months and it has held up really well. The dimensions are perfect for my riding style and Ethic did a great job keeping the weight down. Not to mention it looks sick. I did have a little bit of trouble with using the 8mm axel but eventually got it figured out. It's hard to get super dialed but I don't normally ride very dialed anyway haha. Overall, It's pretty responsive and stable and locks into grinds really well. Very happy :)

The deck itself does feel amazing and is nearly perfect HOWEVER, the spacer and drop out design is horrific. It is impossible to tell what spacers are meant to be used for what and it plain and simple, a knuckle bloodying process to put it together, just for it all to be crooked anyway (Some points the dropouts were tight but a whole 1/4 inch below the deck) If you do manage to make it just function, after the first trick you'll have to re-tighten it. Perhaps there is a way its meant to work how its supposed to, but you won't find it until you've cursed out the lord himself. This deck is a waste of effort. And the 24mm NUT strips faster than a drywall screw.
