Isn't Rowley a Stage VII dude? But yeah, I still have a couple pairs of Stage VIII 139s and the kingpin clearance is a complete joke. Also their axles slipped so bad even just from hitting the ends on bails that they could become unskateable inside a few weeks. I tried Tensors and Royals out of desperation after a few really rotten pairs of Indies before giving up and going back. Dark times, but at least the trucks turned like a dream.
He only skates the stage 7 even today and only swap the bushings and nuts
They just need to make the new mid a stage 7 revamp
It’s a clear answer
Just fix the kingpin and axle issues and it would be a nearly perfect Indy. I don't care anyway because I've been loving Aces lately, even though about half of them are apparently defective.
Ahahahahhaha your telling me brother
I’m on my second pair of ace 03 lows and somethings up with either the bushing fit or the pivot cup
My pivot cups keep sinking out of the hole and it makes it seem that the pivot stem isn’t securely in the pivot hole
Idk, the first pair the kingpin got loose in 2 sessions but everything was fine
Now I got a warranty set but yeah somethings up with the pivot cup area or something, I guess basically it makes the turning either looser or not stable but I’ll keep riding to see what’s up
Why I ride ace low when they’re made to be loose and should be tall/hi
I like the way they feel and grind and a low version works for me cause I prefer lows, but man that Indy mid
If it’s a stage 7 II like thunder back when they did the 147 II
I’m all over it like nerds at a trek convention
