Oskis New Truck Brand

[thanksgiving]

As soon as these are up for sale, I'm buying.

instant buy. my madness for cruiser setups is unquenchable.

[Paperclip20]

Skated my set for the first time yesterday. I really liked them. They felt very carvy the way ace do but I liked the taller truck feel\pop. Coming from ventures the difference was shocking but very fun.

I know longevity is many peoples concern so I'll have to keep an eye on them. Mine came with the grub lock too which is a neat little thing.

So, Updating here. I still like them a lot and am a huge fan of how they skate and feel. Ace type turn with a taller truck that gives a stiffer pop that I like.

One major issue. I almost lost my "Grublock" screw. Was skating and after a few minutes noticed my front truck getting loose. Then realized it was missing.

I got lucky and found it on the ground nearby. Ended up screwing it back in and covering the grub locks with duct tape. Gonna use some blue loctite tonight as a more permanent fix. This was after making sure they were tight at the start of my session so I recommend keeping that in mind.

Blue loctite. I said this the minute the pics were posted on here that those would need some sort of threadlock and I'm baffled as to how Lurpiv didn't put some on.

If there is a ball, they will drop it.

Oh man… you’re not the first one I see complaining about that. I wish they worked on actually properly fix the truck instead of doing 7 inch trucks. They got their priorities all mixed up.

Got a cold call email from Lurpiv the other day at our shop about carrying the trucks. 60usd wholesale.

As much as I want to support the brand, it seems like these will just be a headache of customer complaints at the moment.

60usd? Damn talk about desperate.

Seems like standard "keystone" pricing.

Haha, I still love the trucks and am happy to support a smaller brand but it was an interesting choice and I would have been incredibly bummed if I did lose it. Just gonna use some Loctite and see how we go from there,

I lost mine on the back truck right away As much as I like them when they work right, they just dont work right enough for me to keep skating them.

Yea, that set screw was a stupid bandaid. These really needed more r&d time. Though that never stopped ace, but they weren't selling $100 trucks either.

It kinda bums me out that there is this screw issue, was looking forward to skating a pair but at the same time i dont want to pay extra for a truck hat i have to "fix"

[Mystical Leader]

So whats the consensus on these trucks? Are they worth it?

I have like one month left in my Aces and I was super into the looks of these when they came out.  But I'm not into buying a flawed product at premium price. So what's the deal should I just get new aces or take a risk? I usually ride it loose but not rattly

I advise you to keep waiting for lurpiv 3.0, with another screw that keeps the grub lock from loosening

I can’t imagine spending good money on these trucks after the debacle outlined in this thread and my friends’ real world experiences. All signs point to something poorly engineered and insufficiently tested.

Embarrassingly so

In 20 years the whole truck will be covered in various screws and adjustments, you'll have to take them to a partnered volvo dealership if you wanna tighten, loosen, or change your wheels.

Sadly they are a flawed product at a premium price. I dig mine but will probably skate ace again after this set. If they do fix the issues with them I would love to stick with them though I think they're on the edge of something really good and I don't regret my purchase of them.

[Sundaynuggets]

I got a set second hand with the wobbly kingpins everyone talks about. They came with an extra set of kingpins so I tried those out. Still wobbly, so I emailed Lurpiv, who asked my address.

After waiting a couple weeks, I took the inverted kingpins, reverted them and cemented them into place. A couple weeks later I got a set of new kingpins from Lurpiv which are identical to the wobbly ones I originally started out with.

The cemented king pins don’t wobble anymore, and the trucks are nice, yet I find myself back on Aces anyway. Aces seem to turn a little more to my liking, though I like the height of the Lurpiv and that I don’t get wheelbite on the Lurpiv.

This made me lol. Yeah, it's just embarrassing at this point for them

Gonna be the dissenting voice and say that they're worth a shot if you have the scratch. I personally think they look and feel great. If you're not bothered by the idea of needing to tweak the king pin once every few sessions, I think you'll have a good time.

[layzieyez]

I agree. Despite all the defects, they have enough going for them that I would buy them if I had the money and didn't already have enough trucks at the moment.

[goodatmeth]

I guess you could just use loctite from the start and never have a problem. I'd still try them if they weren't as high

[Sk.A.T.A.N]

Honestly if you get them with the regular kingpin there’s no real issue with it. Since I got the replacement I had no more loosening or wobble problems.

I just lost a bit of clearance but it isn’t thaaaat bad.
 
That’s why I keep saying that they should work towards a regular upwards kingpin.
That it’s proven to work, and then lower the kingpin as much as possible while keeping the geometry, kinda similar to how a venture hi has super good clearance even using a regular kingpin.
Because i also think their inverted kingpin kinda sucks. It’s pointy and hard af but it still sticks out a bit so it digs into smiths and feebles sometimes. A bit flawed imho.

I just hope they get their shit together, address all the criticism and keep working towards some actual noticeable improvements.

Same here.

Plus I came to realise that I don‘t like inverted king pins anyway because I ride a twin and need identical tightness on both trucks. That‘s difficult if you don‘t see threads.

the IKP sucked for your mentioned reasons, and the regular one has garbage clearance.

WOW this is too good. They just painted their flawed V1's and are selling them in the name of charity. They're literally trying to dump their bad stock and make themselves look good at the same time, smart move if it wasn't so obvious. Though I will say, these will probably be a good collector piece.

[backside_frontside]

Lol @ trucks for Ukraine.

That's one way to offload you're shitty product lol.

[JugeL]

Trucks for Sweden hell yeah

[Coping Grinder]

Had my best session since getting my Lurpivs the other day. I switched back to my Indys...

I wanted to believe these would be sick, but after spending weeks fiddling with my trucks it feels good to just throw some trucks on and go. The axles do grind like a dream though, and I think they'd have something if they can capably assuage their other issues.

Side note, the trucks cost 95 bucks and come in their own metal container. Is it not too much to ask that you send an appropriate skate tool that fits the metric bolts? I'm sure this is a complaint specific to the US, but still. If I had gotten a Lurpiv branded 13mm tool I would've been stoked, instead I grumbled off to the hardware store in order to put wheels on my new trucks.

[manysnakes]

Not really, though, since no skate tool is metric, and I doubt the average non-US skater is rolling around with a metric socket set.

Is it out of the ordinary that my skate tool worked? I just used the kingpin socket on my T tool for both the axle nuts and king pin.

Definitely not out of the ordinary. I haven’t come across a skate tool that didn’t work on them. I use the kingpin socket for the axle nuts and kingpin as well.

You can also put regular axle nuts on them as well.

Same, I've got a broson tool, a unit, and a collapsible one that all work.
