I just got my 5.8 V-Lights in the mail, but I have one question. This is my first time riding Ventures, are they supposed to have different colored nuts? On one truck the nuts are a raw/silver and the other truck has like a goldish color. Is this normal? Thanks!
During some shortages, some things were a bit hit and miss, as well as the specialty versions all having gold nuts before changing to the plain silver, but that shouldn't be an issue for the dates on those DLX stickers, even though they are clearly different runs - one run from April and one from July 2021.
Maybe they used gold nuts in the one run and others were silver in that other run, with the trucks then being mixed up in the shop between different deliveries of stock, or someone has swapped them out from another set.
Either way, it is fine to skate but it would bug me to no end, with a lot of people swapping out gold nuts for silver before they even set them up in some shops I have seen.
It is probably not worth it but I would send those pics to the shop and ask them if their remaining stock was also mixed, then maybe get the other set too, or get something returned / replaced, but that is the extreme OCD end of the scale.
* Sorry, went back and rewrote the post. I am a bit scattered sometimes and just type what comes to mind.
