Can someone post a picture of said nubs? I’ve been on ventures for 30 years and I don’t know what you’re talking about.

[close]

i come bearing nubs

[close]

I've not seen that
All mine are size marked I've had a few different models

[close]

interesting! do you stick to one type by chance, or do you have a mixed bag wrt v-light,v-hollow, etc?

i've also emailed them but haven't gotten anything back yet, for anyone curious

[close]

Just checked mine. I have a set of worrest 5.8’s that have the nubs. The set of v-hollows I bought earlier this year have 5.6 on the hanger.

thanks y'all, i know the nub mystery isn't the most interesting thing so i appreciate everyone replying. still no word from venture themselves but i assume they are swamped with real money-making customer emails around now

[IrritableBowel2]

I set up my first set of Ventures (6.1 hollows) ever a couple of weeks ago after skating Indy's for years. I think they skate nice. They grind fine too, I was actually able to learn front slappies for the first time over the weekend. People say they don't grind, but they seem to grind great with lots of kingpin clearance.

[logjammin]

Yeah I've never felt the slight drag on grinds that Ben Degros talked about and some others on here. They're pure butter for me and the kingpin clearance is unbeatable from a non-inverted stock truck standpoint.

5.6 Ti’s on 14-14.25 wheelbases is the perfect combo for me

The truck madness has been cured and I’m fully AWAKE now

Does anybody know the durometer for stock venture bushings?

I really like the clear ones that came with the Ti's but I'd like to have some backups just in case. I know they have Deluxe Supercush bushings that are clear but they're like 88 durometer which seems soft as hell

Orange is 90, Clear is 88

[The.Skate.Father]

Yuk, Venture stock bushings.
I use bones medium, feel more reliable and predictable, but did anyone see this from Local Joe on YT



I had some red thunder bushings in my 6.1s, and they bit it after a few sessions..

Venture stock are good

[Idk]

Last pair of Venchies the bushings became dust current pair are still super solid. I'm guessing covid production problems. Last pair didn't slip axle at all current pair both are slipped.

Good looks! Just ordered a set of 5.6s. First pair of ventures, gonna set them up on a quasi 8.125. Hope it’s not too bad of an adjustment coming off of indy 139s.

This is my setup essentially for the indoor park board, with loophole teardrop 52s - everything sets up flush perfectly.

139s are dope trucks, and I don’t like Indy all that much.
I haven’t had 5.6s.
Please take this with a large helping of salt, but imo, ventures ride a little bigger than the equivalent indy size, due to the wb adjustment.
So, you are going up in truck size, and the effective wb on your new setup might be a bit bigger.
None of that is bad, it actually might be very good. I’m a huge venture Stan, so factor that in. With ventures I place the foot I’m popping off of, closer to the top of the nose/tail.

Landing primo a ton lately, any tips for axle slip?

My shop hooked up a replacement. after that one hit axle I went back to the slippy one. I just tapped it out till the truck axle stopped moving around. Likely impact fixed it

[Noble Experiment]

My back trucks axle on my ventures just recently slipped too, almost two years after I first started skating them. Too many primo’d flip tricks I guess. My goal is to get to the axle on these so imma keep on skating em, does get annoying having to tap my axle on the ground to unlock my wheel though a handful of times throughout a sesh.

[Uncle Flea]

It happens sometimes. It's pretty rare in comparison to back in the day.

I don't know if anyone remembers the little cartoon add. Tap tap tap tap. More tapping than skating add. I'm pretty sure it was a gk ad maybe because they fixed the problem If I remember.

Indy was extreme Axle slip. I remember floating axles too. Was no better really. Eli took an axle out of a new truck and it was wrecked lol. Never going back in

[j....soy.....]

I run race reds, tighten everything down tight.  In theory, no axel to slip.  I think conical wheels make it less likely too….

[disappointed]

Anyone know if Titanium are available in Oz anywhere now? Did they get restock or did I just miss it?

[Mbrimson88]

Venture and Thunder Ti variations had been out of production for quite a while, only just recently coming back into production not too long ago, so I think some shops in the US have them in very limited numbers, but everywhere else in the world will most likely take another six months or so before we see any here in Australia, production going at capacity and then shipping delays what they are at the moment too.

You might be lucky and find some somewhere, more likely if you do order from overseas, but if you keep bugging your local shop, who in turn can ask Project Distribution, so then hopefully getting more interest going, rather than just asking someone at Project directly.

There was a media release with new DLX stock just before Christmas, but I think there are more just the polished, V lights and V hollows out now, as per the catalog pic link below.

Thanks for the info, mate, much appreciated.

I def agree with all this.

[Paperclip20]

Setup my 5.6's yesterday and my goal is to skate them the whole year or till they break. Truck madness be damned. I'm gonna run them stock too. Unless the bushings or something break.
