I changed out the bushings for double 96a krank barrels in the rear and the front for 90a krank barrel boardside, 90a krank cone roadside. I feel like i want to flip the front wheels and go a little softer in the front.
But holy shit. This thing is on rails. I can’t believe how easy it was to hit top speed like it was nothing!
I love you Phil, i need more. And a narrower front hanger for when i get the next set for pneumatic
@glyphiks, I’m Happy they are working good so far. I know you are a good and honesty critic, so please feel free to offer any constructive criticism to make these better for us all!
Sorry if I missed it, but what’s the final pivot angle of these trucks?
I had the realization just now that one way of avoiding speed wobbles when hitting a rock or bump is to make it so that a lot of lean is required to turn the truck. (Or a longer hanger) RKP trucks have limited lean before the bushing stops you, but TKPs have more, so that might be a contributing factor to why people reviewing these praise the stability
I think it has a lot to do with the width. They do take a considerable amount of effort to turn, i was quite surprised. Hence why i want the front narrower.
So stoked i had this build ready for race night. These trucks handle incredibly well at speed, but they’re a little lacking for me with manoeuvrability.
My surfrodz have a much narrower hanger and turn on a dime and i’ve dewedged the rear truck to compensate.
The downhillers came to race night again tonight and suggested that rather than softening the bushings in the front, i should wedge the front.
So i’ll get a 5 degree riser printed up for the front and report back.
