This dude's killing on ACEs for street (sorry wrong link before).
With the Stage 11, Indy finally caught up to ACE (and everyone else for that matter), lowered kingpin to prevent hangups, centered kinpin in the yoke (to prevent washer binding), weight reduction, blach blah. ACE was doing this 5+ years ago. Aces also have the precision/machined hangers so no need for an inside speed washer and extra meat on the hanger. Now that they don't bend anymore, no reason to avoid them unless you are a 'ride the best fuck the rest' zealot
Go ride your heavy indy's if you like'em, problem solved, for those that give a shit, stock ACE 44s are about 30grams lighter than stock indy 149s, a better comparison would be the ACE 55s as they are wider.
Would be really surprised if Ace is still around 5 years from today. How can you compete with Indy? OH YEAH ENFORCE THE GIMMICH THAT LIGHT TRUCKS ARE SOMEHOW BETTER.
There is no way everyday skaters can trust those twigs they call skate trucks, lookin like you're grinding down to the axle after a week!
The reinforcement is UNDER the hanger, around the yoke/pivot on ACEs - indy's/theeve are beefy as fuck compared to ACE or Thunder on the back of the hanger. they all have the same diameter of material around the axles for the most part (Ace with a bit more in the middle). Perhaps if you have ridden a pair or compared them in person, on your own board, you'd know....I'm guessing you haven't..
