Probably going to regret this but what's up with these trucks. I love Ventures, like Thunder and dislike Indys. I know these trucks suck the WB in more than Indys so they give a very light pop. Thinking of trying either the Ace 03 or the 44, either for a regular street deck or to get myself to learn to carve a bowl instead of tic tacking like an idiot 1/2 way up the tranny.What can I expect and what boards & dims would pair well with Ace? I usually ride 8-8.125 boards, 8.25 if I'm feeling risky.

Both are great but are just different. I can carve transition much better on Ace but my fliptricks feel fantastic on ventures. Both have a nice grind but I would give ace the edge on chunky ledges. Manuals on ace feel easier to pop into but are a little sloppy whereas on venture i'm not quite as consistent but when i'm in the manual feels locked into place. Ventures also feel nice with a little bit more room on the nose/tail.

Wouldn't the longer wb of the ventures make the nose and tail seem more cramped (wheels creeping further out from the middle)? Other than that, your descriptions of the pros and cons seem spot on.

(Because of the creep you mentioned)

I may have asked before, but anyone remember what the upcoming size revisions will be? I think @Frank and Fred posted it under his old handle but now I can't remember.

D3s and mongo? It's over.
Its been noted on here pages back but according to people in the know here's how the new axle sizing was going:44s 8.2555s 8.566s 8.7577s 9.125Someone from Ace confirmed with me that they were working on a size between the current 44s and 55s on Facebook.

Damn. Chico of Chocolate now Pyramids of Giza. What the hell is going on?

What are the recommendations for aftermarket replacement bushings for Ace that will keep things as loose as possible with minimal break-in period?
Is there a rough date on the release of the newer models? Ive been dying for a pair of Aces but ride an 8.5. Worth holding off for the newer model to get the correct size?

I've done it and it feels great, not a magic carpet by any stretch.

Fuck brandon biebel... The lemon thrower
any tips on riding ace loose without the nut coming loose? i tried taking off the bottom washer, but they keep getting squirrely over the course of the session. gonna put the bottom washer back on and try it without the top.

If you want to try some Ace, I'd say don't wait for the new models and snap them up up now as they are running dry out there.
So i like to ride my trucks without the top washer and with the nut flush with the kingpin but for some reason with aces when i hand tighten them they make the kingpin stickout so basically i have to tighten them a lot more than i want to or the nuts will fall off, and it trips me out, how can i fix this?
