3 sets of bent axles, only one inside washer.
How are you people bending axles?
The poster you just called fat? They just shit themselves & lost 15 pounds.
But for real, how aren't people bending axles? Do yinz exclusively skate curbs and low impact manny pads? Do you ever huck yourself over ~7 set rails or skate out ledges?
No hucking bigger than a 5 these days if I can help it
Slides and Grinds and Flat...I mean, that's what they excel in. Doesn't matter what setup I'm riding, if the slappy session is going down that day the maglight board comes out to play.
That said, since I paired them with a slick and dragons, it's become my go to grab out of the quiver except for park as most parks near me are smoove...well most of venice is...someone should bondo/fill in that pitted landing zone.
Yeah these trucks are definitely intended for actual street skating, they don't fit well with parks. Pairing them with Dragons sounds like an optimal crust setup, if I ever get some I'll definitely put 'em on my maglights
It's a good time! I find myself skating around more instead going to the spot and staying there...
I've only been skating crusty spots with fairly chunky, poorly waxed curbs so the maglights have been pretty awesome for me. I didn't want to take time to break in and use the tensor bushings, so I opted for Indy blue conical bushings on bottom w/ cupped washer with a shaved down bones hard top bushing with a cupped washer.
The turn feels very responsive to me, but just doesn't dive nearly as deep as it could since I'm not using flat washers. I like that it has a bit more of a stable center and doesn't dive deep on turns as I feel more steady and less prone to wheelbite (I ride medium/medium tight so i haven't gotten any using this washer/bushing combo and I'm on 56mm wheels). It's only been 2 sessions so I'm still getting used to the lightness of them, but overall I'm very happy with these trucks so far.
If you want a deeper turn and still want your trucks to feel like they can snap back to center, I recommend a bones medium or hard top bushing (depending on your weight, truck looseness preference). The bottom bushing can be any conical you want to try as long as it's softer or equal to the duro of the top bushing
