Having just begun my grinding career I was using the heelypedia to show all heelys that have a grindplate, and I notice there are different shapes/types of grindplates. The ones on torches and evo's look the same but the ones on Grind This and Rail etc look different.
So, I was wondering: those of you who do a lot of grinding and have tried the various types. . . which type of grindplate do you prefer and why?
And maybe someone like seth who knows all the heelys could make a little list of the types of grindplates and which heely they are to be found on?  |

I love(d) my Rails for grinding... They made me really happy... And alas, they served me well... 
Next up would come my GT's Though they are fat wheels, I love the shoe and how it grinds, don't ask me why...
Then for the bottom of the chain comes my Evos which I use when I skate vert...
Now if HSL combined the Rail plate with the Mega wheel... |

Yeah rail plates rule (actual rail plates not the plates on rails) they need those on evos or something they have like no lock on.
The only type of express i like is the one on rails and grind thises. |

yeah, I've heard people talk before about sanding the "lock" off of torches etc - was wondering how this helps? |

rails have express plates id suggest getting a pair with rail plates like grails, neos or fusions.
having no lock on makes the grinds alot faster. |

| What about the grails? those look sweet because they have no locks. |
