Pretty wild axle slippage on both of my 159s. Anybody ever run 149s on a Dane 1 or similar? Seen it in the wild and and I'm gonna do it either way, but I'm curious to know if anyone here as does it before.
Damn! 159s have been my favorite larger truck (I also like 139s, the rest of indy…no). My USA made stage 11s didn’t slip, despite me setting them up on 8.25s and missing every 3flip I tried.
None of the above is even remotely relevant.
On shaped boards, I like to match the truck size to the deck width, in the rear of the board. I can’t remember what the Dane1 is back there (8.75 probably). 149s (5.8s) with extra washers would probably be my preference. Front will be real tucked, but extra leverage for the turning.
What was the average truck size in the 80s? I was young and didn’t know. I’m talking like bones brigade era boom.
It's funny that axle slippage is coming up on 159s. I bought a couple of pairs of 159 Hollows during some crazy skatewarehouse sale and I got two trucks where the axle is clearly longer on one side than the other. This was peak Covid era and China made so who knows if they were able to keep up the same quality standards during that time. They ride fine but I'm always on the look out for more severe slippage.
Thanks!
First real setup had tracker ultralights, my parents bought me a used complete that was basically mint, had everything. Hawk. Copers, lapper, tail rails even.
Later one of the neighbors informed me that the ultralights were wack and that I should trade them to him for his Indy’s. My mom was bummed. I rode the same Indy’s for a few years until I quit. Wish I still had them. The kingpins were…barbaric.
Anyways, it’s interesting seeing some guys from that era, I THINK (could very well be wrong), that cab, Tony, Lance, Hosoi, all ride 149s.
For whatever that is worth.
