@davidbonde uses those on his lighter-duty airfield boards with 6355s and 12s. They do look like great trucks, but I am leaning away from DKP.
Gotcha, so ~330mm/13in looks like. Thanks.
The wide stance with 150/175/200mm AT wheels is primarily what I’m aiming for (currently).
So a stance look?
I think so, yes.
How do you like the Apex Airs?
great for everything except low speed hard carving, unless you love rail grabs or weigh a lot.
I have had great experience with those flipsky trucks. what I have done is put them on a very long wheelbase deck. That adds to stability and easy of use. And there is just something about those large wheelbase decks that feels so damn good. The flow of the carve ohh boy…
What I have done on the boards that I have beginners on, is to remove the one of the turn point in the front truck so I have tkp in front and a dkp rear. Feels really good and I have now had 150 people out riding who have never stood on a skateboard before. 10-15 min. on the board and they are flying.
I have made a personally setup with dkp both front and rear and 175 pneumatics. Thats a really fun board. I limit the speed to 28 kmh. That way I can give it make throttle and not worrying about too hard acceleration or getting to a too high speed. And then its just to carve away. Thats hat asphalt surfing is all about for me.
And trucks are cheap!! But a bushing swap is a nice idea.
Are Savage Truck hangers considered wide?
I think with the right bushings you can definitely get something that carves amazing at low speeds. Their adjustability is one of the main selling points.
You’re on the money there. Infinite adjustability.
250mm
Here is repost of my airs with deep dish hubs to make it just a hair wider.
Edit: a pic of the doggo snuck in there but imma leave it
What’s the difference between take and offset?
rake*
388 mm on the bearing seat and 492 mm tip to tip for belts, 421 mm on the bearing seat and 522 tip to tip on Falcon Drive
Offset is the distance between the kingpin axis and the axle axis
Rake is the distance between the bushing seat plane and the axel axis.
So offset doesn’t actually do anything except the compression leverage against the bushing (more offset makes boardside bushing have more load and the roadside have less load)
