In the past I've ridden 178 RMU Diams (I liked them but I found them a little too long and not quick enough on rails), and 170 Rossignol Storms (Loved them but got too small.)

What I've been looking at are 176 Punx, 176 Head Oblivions and 176 AR7/Pipe Cleaners, because I can find them for cheap, but I can't decide. I'm considering 176 Infamous as well, but does anyone know if their durability issues have been resolved? Please help me out yo
