ABS pipes

[Dr.Brown]

People use a lot of PVC pipes for homemade rails.

But here's my problem. I was checking out my local home depot, and saw next to the PVC pipes, ABS pipes. They seem much more rigid and less flexible than the PVC ones.

But is it a good top material? So I'd like some info before i get screwed and stuck with bad rails.

I'd stick with pvc. Its strong, eaasy to build with, and slides better than ky jelly

thanks for tip +k.

BTW, did you ever see anyone use ABS pipes? cause i'd like to know how that rides even though I'll go with PVC

Im pretty sure I know what ABS pipes are and we thought the same thing when I made my rail. It broke like 3 hit. PVC has a little more give to absorb the pressure of being landed on. Go PVC.

Thanks a lot, that was what i wanted to hear.

abs is awsome,

i went through 4 pvc in one month,

abs hasent broken yet, 4 months in with it, itll get a litle slow, wax it a bit, itll be super fast.

abs= the way to go for sure
