Can anybody link me to any good 9 inch popsicles out there? Having trouble finding some.

There's that Antihero logo board that Cincinnati posted quite a few of some months ago. I'd imagine that one is pretty good. It's the orange logo board FYI.

This 9 inch deck with the wheel wells is kinda cool

Polar's 9" shape is the best

polar boserio 1992 shape 9.25 x 32 and 14.25wb

How would the '92 shape be with 159s?   I like the look of it but don't have fatter trucks.

Haven't skated an almost since my very first deck back in middle school, but it's got a nice broad shape to it with medium concave. Like a more square-ish DLX Full shape. Board feels good so far though, light and snappy.

I always thought Bones & Thunders wouldn't work well together but I've been running with em for a while now and it feels solid. The krux pin washer is digging into the yellow part of the bushing and pushing it down into itself but it surprisingly hasn't bothered me much and turns fine. I'll run with it until they blow out at some point

Did you have to epoxy the nut or does the thunder baseplate hold it in safely with no issues?

Cast thunder baseplate holds them in without glue, but after a while they feel like they loosen up a bit. Gotta tighten em up after every handful of sessions or so

Do you mean that as in you have to take the trucks off the board and tighten the nut on the bottom? Or just that you have to tighten the hex bolt from the top?

You can tighten them from the top with the allen/hex key, the baseplate keeps the nut from turning underneath. After a while tho they’ll slowly loosen up so just make sure to check/adjust em every couple weeks or so. Not sure if gluing the nut in would help with that but it might help

[anon]

you can try flipping the nut so that the nylon makes contact with the kingpin

Gotcha, thanks man. Basically I just wanted to try the Krux kingpin for the first time and I’ve never done it because I didn’t wanna mess with the epoxy puddy or anything like that. If the thunder plate holds the nut and I don’t have to worry about it falling off without glue or JB weld, then I’ll try it.
