while cool-guying is a real phenomenon, studies show that 83% of all cool-guying incidents can be attributed to the cool-guyee being an awkward weirdo

random question but would the hangar from a v light fit the baseplate of a standard venture?
[close]

yes, that would just make it a standard venture
[close]
I mean the hangar with the hollow axle
[close]

also yes
what if the hangar size is different? like would the axle of a 5.8 fit the baseplate of a 5.25?

For anyone who was curious to see some old / vintage Venture trucks, I was going to post pics of the near destroyed old Venture trucks I have here, but then I found someone selling what looks like a near new set on Gumtree (Australian selling platform) and have included the link and some pics below.

Click on the pics for the bigger versions, or save them while you can, just to have pics of the older trucks.  As these had the six hole plates they are from around 1992-1998 going by what I know of those trucks.

In my experience they will make you work for your pop.  Which isn't necessarily bad...

I suppose this isn't specific to Venture but.

It the end of your axle and nut don't sit flush like here

How to you prevent your axle end getting blunted?

I won't be able to change these wheels soon

I want to fight you so badly richard

Pad the axle (outside side) with some extra washers

Always two washers in, one washer out, nut flush. I've been doing this since I really started to get in to skateboarding and gear, 15-20 years ago. It's the correct way to do it.


And superglue your exposed seams on your shoes.

And fuck a nike.

Skated 6.1s on a Loveseat for a few months and loved it.. they turned great with stock bushing/flat washer but I’ve been itching to learn some new ledge tricks as it’s the most neglected part of my skating. Picked up some second hand 5.8s and they feel like they just do not turn at all. Is the geometry different?

Probably wrong thread but man I’ve ruined any chance of technical skating by sticking to wider boards and transitions, what’s the likelihood of it somehow clicking someday? Haha

I think the geometry is a little different. I’m basing that thought off of people reporting the effective wheelbase to be different from the 5.8s (if I remember correctly the 6.1s had a shorter effective wb, and that coupled with the sub 14” loveseat, I could see some turning happening). 
I always come back to ventures. That being said, I don’t really fuck with wide shit. Narrower trucks turn faster.

Pad the axle (outside side) with some extra washers

I always use thicker nuts and loctite to all nuts(KP/axel/deck) on the skateboard, loctite is essential to the thicker nuts, cuz the thread won't reach to the nylon lock.

no more rethreading problem or lost a nut in the middle of the session(still bringing normal nut as a spare)

and does anyone has top bushing chewed up issue?
i skate 5.2low nut flush and weight 65kg, had to swap stock washer with bones flat ones, it works fine, and more turny.

Lots of people have that it's the reason many run the Bones washer and is one of the things that frustrates me about them the most.

My bushings got chewed out and had to swap them out to a fresh set of the white ones (urgh), but I'd been riding this same bushings over 3-4 different pairs of Ventures. I'd say Venture bushings start out the hardest but keep it together longest, far outlasting the Thunder stock ones.
Venture Truck Height:

5.0 & 5.2 LO

I quickly destroyed the top bushing using stock washers then tried using a bones flat washer on new venture bushings thinking that was the issue and somehow still quickly destroyed the top bushing in those too. Not even too cranked down either had front truck flush and back 1 thread showing. Went back to bones hards and they’ve lasted awhile with zero issues plus turn is slightly better with the conical bottom

Which shape? I want to try a palace. My last one from them was an Olly Todd. So a long time ago.

S25…..I bought it because the wheelbase was smaller, didnt  like it though because of the short nose.  I think BBS boards fit ventures better….

I have another board from the same series and I’m going to try on ace lo’s..

Does the loose bushing kit bring the wb in a little bit more because the bushings are lower? Also does it make the turn better or just quicker?

The bottom bushing is still the same so wheelbase is not changed.

Adding any softer bushing or lower top means that they turn so much more than with stock bushings, but still not quite as small a circle as Indy or Ace when I tried them the other day, after putting on thin risers with small wheels, so I could get the absolute most out of the turn, down to about a 4m circle which is crazy to think how tight a turn that is.  Without the riser and normal sized wheels, I got wheelbite first on the low tops / looser trucks, so there is that to think about too.

If you want a lot more turn and can deal with how much the trucks move, they are good, but if you might struggle with loosey goosey wheelbite, then tightening them down more will work - just watch the kingpin clearance / catch.


Note:  I still don't have access to the green bushings here in Australia, but I usually cut down stock bushings, which are the same duro and end up about the same height.  Even just using wax on the pivot point and on the bushing contact sides will make your trucks feel so much more loose with the same stock bushings in them.  Tried that too, just to see and was very surprised how much more they turned.

I talk too much about skateboards.  Sorry.

I've heard that the hole on the baseplate is hexagonal shaped but most online shops don't post pics of the base. I want to get it so I can switch out the kingpin for the reverse krux ones.  So how can you tell if the truck has the hexagon shaped hole.

Got a new set of 5.8s and there hollow kingpin baseplates with riptide pivots on them. As well as the new bushings. They’re noticeably lower when it comes to the kingpin and they look tighter than they really are. Love the turn on them and it they’re more responsive.
