Went out skating today and noticed my back wheel poking out of my deck(I ride 8.38 deck with 144 trucks so that shouldn't happen).



Apperently the axle slipped.

My experience with the trucks is kinda rough honestly. First, the kingpin got loose. Then the pivot cups broke. And then this. All within 2 months.(I mostly skate ledges and slappys)
I'm back on my indys now. Never had any problems like that with my indys. (at least not so soon in the life of the trucks)
I gotta say I don't regret purchasing them at all. I support what Oski is trying to accomplish. If he ever tries to make a Lurpiv 2.0 I'll definitely buy a pair.

That's fucked up. I know they are new company but 90+ euros is fucked up for trucks that last two months and have that many problems.

As much as i agree with this, im sure you could send them a message and theyd send you new hangars. Theyve been incredibly responsive with everything that ive come to them with and so far every defective part has been replaced for free

Don't get me wrong, they seem like really great company with really awesome customer service and i hope they succeed to fix the problems. But for the consumers point of view, this really sucks.

Their customer service is fantiastic, they sent me new kingpins and pivot cups, but I don't think I'm going to because even if they do, the hangers would still have the same problem as mine.

[layzieyez]

I would not only for a replacement, but also so they could inspect what went wrong so they can figure out how to prevent it for 2.0 version.

This was my thought, Could provide some insight as to how it happened/how to eliminate the problem

[logjammin]

Starting out as bad as Ace did, if not worse, for a more expensive truck with the consumer being the beta tester.

[disclosed]

to be fair i would wish they just did a normal axle. they making wider sizes now too and i don't know if they're gonna hold up even if they're rheocasted.

[Idk]

I don’t see Lurpiv being around in 5 years.

[layzieyez]

If they didn't have all the other positives that people have described, then they might be gone, but royals just put out their best trucks so I wouldn't be too quick to prognosticate their disappearance.

Lurpivs are just like Saab. My friends Dad was all about Saab and they had these goofy features like all the window switches being in the center console. They drove fine, but always had weird issues and were in the shop.

Searched for Lurpiv hashtag on insta and found this meme:

Couldn't help but laugh cause it's kinda true.

[layzieyez]

NGL that's pretty funny

Saabs were also overengineered to the point of them alledgedly having to sell some models at a loss (the 9000). The one Saab I owned was in the shop 10 times over the 2-3 years I owned it.

So yeah, sounds about right.

Best thing i've seen today

It's a real fukn bummer how many problems these had. In a weird way me being too broke for new luxury trucks may have been a blessing. I know it's not really a fair comparison but theeve (a company everyone shits on) never had half these problems. I guess it was also simpler times back then tho they only had to be better than an Indy stage 9

[Easy Slider]

I finally got some grinds out of the Lurpivs. They grind impeccably but not (yet) better than the Indies, but I just touched the surface and the indies had nice groves. I am happy with them so far. I can ride them without risers which means that my set up is actually lower than it was on the Indies.

Polster trucks are German. Their Titan model looks interesting. Cheaper than Ti Thunders and supposedly lighter as well.

my kingpins arent really loosening yet (tighten them like once a week) but I might try this tomorrow.

I actually have a pack of hardware store nuts like the one he used that I bought to replace axle nuts. Never actually got around to using them since they are too tall to fit on an axle with washers but they will probably go on the lurpiv axles too.

My buddy has Polsters. They don‘t look overengineered to me. Feels like Thunder as far as I can tell from quickly trying them. He rides them flush but they don‘t turn like I am used to from Indy and now Lurpiv.

Talking of Lurpiv, I noticed that the stock bushings don‘t rebound nicely. What are other Pals using? I have soft bones lying around but they might be too soft.

Damn for real? I thought the bushings were actually one of the good points on lurps. I ran them tighter than usual.

I am running them flush on the regular kingpins.

I weigh roughly 170, I have 2-2 1/2 threads showing. I like my trucks medium-loose id say? Though i was able to skate the lurps tighter than normal, felt like i didn't lose out on turn and got a lot of stability.

As an e30 owner/bimmer fanboy, I have zero interest in turning my skateboard into a constant project like that lol.

[Sk.A.T.A.N]

I love their regular bushings… stable and surfy. Rebounds fine to me.

I follow Polster on the gram. Would definitely like to try them.

[laterskater]

I really liked the Lurpiv bushings. They have a deep turn and good rebound.

I’ve been running Ace bushings in them lately and I prefer them to the Lurpiv bushings, but only slightly.

These are so spot on that I just have to post 'em, even though they are for the downhill connoisseurs only. Sorry:

With Polster's I have been wondering for some time whether they are a Thunder clone or not.  Sideview on both looks pretty much identical.

[Sk.A.T.A.N]

Yeah Polsters are pretty much a Thunder clone. There’s really nothing special about them, only the price point, in Europe at least. I tried my friends board once that had them and they felt fine, but also nothing really remarkable about them.
