The look of the truck has grown on me; I am especially fond that the axle isn't visible behind the IKP, makes it look cleaner, higher quality. I like it.

Plate and hanger are two different colors?

I still don’t understand what’s going on with the axle on these trucks. Can someone that has them already take pics of the details? Specially the axle part… they talk about a dual axle system and that makes me wonder if they are split like those titanium theeve’s from years ago or it’s something different.

I think it's a sleeved axle.  Inner one that is the size of everyone else's axles, and then another axle around it that is only in the cast part of the truck.

I'll probably be wrong but I think if it was the sleeved thing you'd still be able to see at least a bump of it behind the kingpin.
Were the theeves split or was it one single piece of titanium? They were advertised as one piece. 
Could they be two seperate axles at each end, like what crappy trucks used to be, but they have better stronger materials now. I think they used to show that little bit of axle in the middle to prove the axle was one piece not just on the two ends.

It looks sleeved to me - but it could be threaded in and just have a shoulder.

[backinaction]

This shows it better - and ya, it looks like it may be threaded in

Oh I'd put money on me being wrong and you being right. I'm just thinking you'd be able to see some kind of lump where the axle is usually exposed.

I wish somebody would buy all kind of trucks, especially lurpivs, and cut cross sections like weartested does with shoes. How the hell do these axles work I need to know

[j....soy.....]

The theeves were all one piece I'm pretty sure. I had them....the quality was pretty insane....material didn't grind well at all....

[Dan Gerous]

Yes, they're one piece. Viewed from the board side, the hangers are completely open with nothing but air where a one piece axle would be.

Perhaps Theeve were overly ambitious in their design, but they have certainly set a precedent that the tech exists to do it.
I’m still waffling until I hear some sweet feedback from the PALS.

They sucked on angle iron for sure, but they would destroy curbs.

Two more for you guys.

Me and some friends tried out the all titanium theeves when they first came out. They were really hard to grind with. You couldn't do 5050 or like manual style grinds. To 5-0 you had to be like fully tail pressed and down kinda pointed out to the side.nosegrinds had to be that style that's almost a noseblunt but Crookeds worked alright.
I'm hoping the lurpivs don't have that same "problem" because it's really not how I enjoy doing those tricks.
Also where theeve really fucked up is the titanium would grind thru the pivot cup and then boar thru the baseplate itself because it's only aluminium. Titanium baseplate would make a lot more sense than hangar. You'd never blow out a pivot cup again.

[Bongwater Mojito]

Seems my truck madness did return, got the box today... Don't ask me how they skate, ongoing injury keeps me off board for a while. Anyway, some pics for you to look at.

Build quality looks good on quick glance.

These are 149s.

[mbam003]

The Theeve hangers are made of titanium, which makes for a sticky grind. Lurpiv hangers are made from aluminum like the rest. Should be a pretty standard grind.

[owlienist]

Got my 139 and 149's here in Belgium. No shipping notification or sms from UPS, they just showed up and luckily I was home.

Very rough unpolished aluminum but I really like the look a lot!

Weight: 139's are 358 grams and the 149's are 368 grams.

Also, they fit perfectly on the Real 3-Ply Universal (Indy) Risers.

Won't get to ride them until next week though, weather permitting.

[Roisto]

Who’s gonna measure and post the effect they have on wheelbase? 

[Ok]

Fr fr….no hate, but all of the trucks that have gone out have landed with folks that can’t skate for a week.
I need some opinions!
(All I care about is the ollie)

shipping delay was for customer research, making sure to only get these in the hands of people with patience apparently

[jerrygurneyscream]

Fuck it i just bought some i couldnt wait for reviews. they look way too nice

[Xen]

This has got to be a SLAP record for amount of time with no opinions on how a new product skates, especially a new truck brand. Not even a first blush account.

I don't understand how hard it is to walk outside your front door and Ollie.

I mean the trucks are already setup on the board.....

I need you, Xen, shirt off, flogging these into some curbs/skating flat, stat

Sadly, I didn't buy any =( and now due to my love affair with the new Royals, I don't see it happening (and probably not ever as I don't really like tall trucks)....unless I really start skating transition more...which I should now that school is in session (empty parks).

[logjammin]

Looks to be a bit of space inbetween the pivot point of the hanger and the pivot cup, hopefully wont cause cup destruction or baseplate warping.

[Dan Gerous]

Hopefully it's just that the edge is rounded a bit, which would actually be better for wear on the hanger than a hard edge.

Unlike the new Royals the casting on these and finishing looks stellar

They are using rheocasting for these.  It's a different process, and I don't believe any other truck company is using it.

I don't disagree, casting on Lurpivs + their overall industrial design look pretty slick. That said, since I started riding the new Royals, I've not given a second thought about their casting or overall appearance...I mean, they're fucked after one or two grinds anyway so who gives a shit?

I thought that too, but the surely the design was thought out/tested (Indy 109s do it); can't imagine an ex ACE rider would make a truck that binds when skating loose.

Lol dude

Show us where the Royals hurt you
