Whenever I ask this the main answer I get is “Amass XT90s”
And if it’s well over 100A then I guess Amass AS150

Reliable?

How about a loopkey for $10?

Fancy?

Now you’re talking about active electronics and added cost and maybe increased failure rates

OK, Playing the role of a beginner again >.<!

I just got press fit inner bearing pulleys, and just figured out that my caliber 50 axles are 35mm i.e. too short. [I know of; file the truck, remove the bearing. But I want the bearing to be there.]

My question is: If I cheap out and only purchase one extended axle truck for the rear how badly would that effect board geometry?
ty for reading.

As long as you make sure you don’t get wheelbite on the narrower front truck you should be fine. Brian did it and I think I’ve seen others too, build thread here

I’m just going to put search terms here in case someone’s looking for it in future: mismatched truck mismatched hanger different hangers width

Yes, it would affect it. It will look worse but perform better. :crazy_face:

It’s horrible I love it, Looks like a wedge of cheese, [jokes aside it does look OK, good in some abstract sense i.e. I think it looks good]

Thanks guys!

It also makes me itchy, but I’ve had the same thought. My poor filed down calibers wish I’d gone with that option, as does the hand file who suffered through it
