just set up the 2nd of my Villani eggs from the 2fer deal and immediately noticed that something seemed off. Got out my tape measure and confirmed that the front truck holes are drilled 1/8" off-center. Gonna take it out for a spin tonight to see if i can notice it, but i feel like it's going to be a thing of mind-over-matter and will always bother me. I wonder if it's because of the extreme taper which causes the inconsistency in QC? I didn't notice this on the other deck but now i'll have to go double-check that one. It's slightly noticeable here in the photo, much more apparent IRL
That sort of thing is usually covered under warranty.
Can I also use this in the Woodshop thread? There was a conversation about this happening the other day.
Also did you note where that one came from, if the sticker said made in Mexico, China or USA?
Thanks.
It's definitely BBS/Mexico. I actually wound up having a fantastic session on it, and now that it's worn in a bit it seems less noticeable. I don't often venture into the woodshop thread except to check out a new brand, so I'm not familiar with the specific discussion on this there, but feel free to share.
Thanks.
More than anything, it is just one of the many issues with boards, regardless of woodshop, but it does still happen.
I know I have had a board given to me from someone else who swore the holes were drilled incorrectly, but when I measured it up and checked, the holes were straight and the deck had moved in the cutting process, so one side was wider than the other. It still rode straight, so that was not a problem.
Boards that do have holes drilled incorrectly, as per another one on the previous page (as per link below) meant the truck sat on an angle and made the board pull to one side, which is a different issue entirely.
Hopefully you have the first one, so that the board will still skate well, rather than always ending up going to one side without you wanting it to.
