aqua 07 888,purple 08 888,aqua beadblasted 09 888 (white pad)my 07 is the first runs, which is pretty much like the pre-pro, the walls aren't flat. 2nd runs onwards looks pretty much like 08.
07 888 were not beadblasted in any production as far as i know.
they were anodised with a very smooth surface. 6065 aluminum i think.
08 888 looks like a 07 in every way, but feels more solid, more stable, and also feels a little heavier. made using 7075 aluminum, and beadblasted in all production runs except for B-grades. flat walled.
09 888, looks visually different. narrower, higher wall(like 888W, also from 07.) axle feels 'loose', another way of improving the axle, no axle stripping problem. h-profile slightly different to that of 07, 08 888.
more stable as well.
but many prefers the 07, i myself too, i can't explain why it feels alot better, plays alot better.
u can get 2nd hand 07 888, mostly LEs.
u can get 2nd hand and also brand new 08 888 in certain stores.
YYF is releasing 07 style 888, which is using the same exact 6065 aluminum, same weight distribution, same anodisation, and supposingly same exact specs. it could be just me but i feel that the h-profile is different from the 07, but same as 09.
