Independent Trucks Mid

I ordered a set. Fuck it. I'm not getting any younger.

well they’re not any lighter. Or you mean not getting any younger to try new things?

[Sativa Lung]

I got a set and so far so good.
 
I asked about this in another thread, just to get more eyes on my problem here.


Having a problem with the bushings though. I can’t tighten them down as far as I like to. Either the kingpin ran out of threads, or it’s hitting the board. I’m on the heavier side (190lbs.) and ride my trucks medium. Had to throw some Indy Hard bushings in, which don’t give me the rebound and responsiveness I get out of the stock orange medium bushings.

Indy Hard bushings are 94a, thinking about getting these Doh-Doh bushings that are 92a, as I can’t find the Indy Medium- Hard bushings anywhere in my area right now.

Anyone have any advice?

Thanks in advance!

If you're looking for responsiveness and rebound I wouldn't get doh dohs. They also don't really like being cranked down, I've had some split on me when I tried it.

I'd suggest just ordering the blue 92a indy ones (they're the best indy bushings in my opinion) or going for something like the 94a ones that come stock in ventures. They sell them as deluxe supercush and I think they would be your best bet.

If there's nowhere around you that has them then you can order them with free shipping from TGM, or if you have Amazon prime they sometimes have them on the warehouse and you can get next day delivery.

DELUXE - SUPERCUSH BUSHINGS Or Indy Aftermarkets in a 97/99+ duro is what you need

tldw
- It's actually 10 grams heavier than the Indy standards
- The kingpin clearance is actually worse than Indy standards
- The hanger is way thicker than than the Indy standards
- Hollow version is supposed to come out this summer

I'm sure all this info was already covered in previous pages but I'm too lazy to check.

[jay_nev]

Good info. I'm all set. Also w beefier hangar there's less lock in (especially with classic shape wheels), kingpin less smith clearance/harder than normal kingpin nut.

You’re suggesting a harder bushing? But I miss the squishy rebound I get from a softer bushing. How would a harder bushing be better?

Legitimately asking. Never been such a nerd about my trucks. Going down the rabbit hole on this one

If you want a lower indy why you wouldn't get forged hollows? None of the problems listed above.

Exactly! I’m on Tis and as much as I wanna try them there’s no reason for me to.

[Weezil]

I just wanna get my hands on the baseplates with some krux dlks for my standards.

Looks like a stupid ass idea for a truck from them after watching bens video and comparing the specs to standards or hollows. Heavier, lower, less kingpin clearance, I’m good. Can’t wait for the baseplates to be available on their own though, that looks interesting.

I don't understand either. I guess to save like $5 and if you don't like how light FH are?

Really strange design choices made by Indy. Might as well just get Ace tbh.

Ok, thank you! Much appreciated!

I almost grabbed a set of the 92a Indy bushings. Gonna have to go back to that shop and get them.

I like the way the black 94a Indy bushings look, but if it’s the blue ones I need, then it’s all good. Haha

[Wizard0f0dds]

After watching Ben Degros' review, I think I'm gonna stick to Aces, thank you very much.

Madness got me thinkin though....Titanium high hanger, mid baseplate, krux kingpin.

Even ordered an extra 2 sets of Krux kingpins.

Yeah, the latter. They are noticeably heavier. But, I'll give them a poke in a bit.

Wonder if they are just going to sell the baseplate.  Indy usually does....Its a sick design.  Given how much extra meat is in the hanger what's gonna be a bummer is paying for a titanium version and it still weighing a lot.

I mentioned this, but I'm guessing this had to do with an easier manufacturing process because I don't think it was market demand....

They are going to sell the baseplates, but not until the spring.

I did it and went with the opposite, forged plate, new hanger, down in the 50/51mm range, and lighter.

Interesting. How do they ride?

I thought about that, but I don't really want a 55mm high Indy.   I like my Ti at 53.5

I didn't put in a krux pin tho - the clearance is better, not so hefty and feel like indys, faster pop as I have them on 51mm wheels with a low/flat kick....they feel like Mini logos now

Going to swap back to the forged ti and keep the 51mm wheels...to balance it all out tho...I'll sacrifice a few mm for the weight savings...skating Tensor ATGs on another board and man, just so good, just wish they were lower.

^ Seriously. Did they even think this out, or was it just like "How can we make a heavier truck, that doesn't lock-in as good, and hangs-up on Smith/Feeble grinds...oh, I know!!!" Wait till they go full NHS turboclown and stick Sponge Bob on the baseplate or something. That said, I ride Indy Ti.

All of this. Was on forged hollow Indy's more than anything else (probably gonna stick with Aces from here on out). Was curious about the mids, but good lord, everything about that review sounds unappealing. Seems like they shot themselves in the foot with trying to keep a lot of shit interchangeable with standard Stage XI's. Couldn't lower the height of the bushings, same with the baseplate, so they'e stuck making every adjustment within the hanger. If you're only adjusting hanger height, the kingpin clearance has nowhere to go but down. So you add more meat, more weight....on a mid. Genuinely fucking weird design choices. Hex/allen combo adjustment will forever be a shit compromise.

[ok boomer]

I find these trucks attractive

[Diocletian]

The only thing that matters is the baseplates. It is the most secure option on the market for running an inverted kingpin, just gotta replace the mid hanger with a high and you're good to go.
