How they playing out?

Pretty well. The only thing they don’t really like is severely eroded tarmac (half of london really) and the raised bus stops combined with a bike lane. Those have a specific nasty pavement.
Surprised how easy it is to roll on grass tbh.

Yeah, got told about that by someone on one of the facebook groups the other day.

Still an appealing axle even if specific spec bearings are going to be necessary. Are the front axles also extended length so they need spacers between the hangar and bearings tighten down?

Great link! Extended axles are pretty nice for a lot of builds using press fit pulleys.

Setup looks sick. I know Flipsky offers 12", 13.78", 14.53" and 15.xx" DKP trucks. I got the 350mm ones here with street wheels.



& They work fine with riptide bushings.

I could only manage to get 2 bearings per wheel. These trucks dont allow for a wheel pulley bearing? Using genuine evolve ABEC pulleys.

The truck with motor mounts should have plenty of space for press fit pulleys. I haven’t had any issues with mine.
