Just dug through my box of spare skate shit and found some old krux bushings. so old they look more black than white. anyway, threw them in my 44s and yes, good shit. i think with the key with aces is that you can get away with riding harder bushing that what you might usually run and still get a great turn.
Totally agree. I'm putting a Krux downlow kingpin and Krux bushings on my aces tomorrow.
I've been skating my Krux K4's this week and I find them to be absolutely perfect but I'm stoked to try this combo on some Ace's as well
nice. let us know how it goes.
It works like a champ:
Did you have to use anything to hold the kingpin in place?
Sidenote, finally had a quick session in a bowl and a pool this morning. holy shit the way they handle roundwall totally negates everything else. i might be a convert...
Nope. I ride stock/loose on most trucks, with this setup I just held the nut in place with my thumb until it caught then tightened as much as I could. Main issue is that you can't tighten or losen really once mounted unless you wedge or glue the nut (small price to pay honestly), also, there is only so much tightening room as the pin will eventually touch the deck if you crank your shit down.
Yeah, ACEs are pretty much untouchable in tight corners if you like fast carve, Indys can but it's just a diferent feel, it's like riding thunder or indys on street, indy you have to plan your lean, thunders you can sort of twitch it; ACEs allow you to twitch carve and save your ass
Krux come really close compared to Indy.
