Oskis New Truck Brand

[Dawatermelongoblin]

if you go back pages you'll see that I posted caliper pics of the bushings. They are not the same size as Indy. Maybe Ace classic, af1, or low bushings will fit?

If you like the turn why fuck with it? It's the selling point of the trucks.

Not trying to fuck with it unless the rattle gets worse. I do love the way they feel, just trying to have a back up option for bushings if these don’t hold up. Appreciate the info on Indy bushings tho. 🤝

I put inverted kingpins in mine. I didn’t try them with the normal kingpin beforehand so I can’t comment on the difference in feel, but it definitely gives good kingpin clearance. These are titanium inverted kingpins from Acer Racing. They were advertised as being Torx head but ended up being Allen, which is good.

Purty.

Good to know those kingpins fit. How did the nut sit in the baseplate? Did you shorten the top bushing?
The V1 had a few issues with the inverted KP didn't they?

[BeachChicken]

It seems Thunder solved the perennial issue of self loosening woulda been cool to see these with IKP and not one that you need a different Allen key for if you don't have a spitfire tool (the Ace tool and a few others I have don't work).

I will also ask regarding the nut, does it hold in the baseplate or does it free spin/require JB Weld to hold it? Also, how hard was it to whack out the kingpins? I remember Ace classics being super easy due to that softer alloy.

[water_cup]

I used JB Weld to hold the nut in. I did not shorten or modify the bushings. There is plenty of clearance now. The original kingpin was difficult to remove, I could not hammer it out. I ended up having to get a vise to press the kingpins out

Sorry if this has already been asked and answered, but does anyone know what size bushings the new Lurpivs run and if any aftermarket bushings are the same size?

I'm keen to give Lurpivs a second try and see how they fare.

I'd definitely want to swap the bushings out for something harder because I'm a heavy fella, but preferably with something the same size so I don't ruin the geometry.

Pretty sure someone mesured them with calipers a few pages back

I love these things. Can ride them jiggly loose and the wheelbite is still manageable. Pinching crooks doesn't work very well at 45°, but that's a tradeoff for less wheelbite. At less of an angle they should work, I guess. First time I'm not using risers in ages.

[rawbertson.]

Just got my set of 150mm Lurpiv

I love the way the turn feels fast like Thunder right out the gate.
The bushings must be really good quality, they look and feel really nice. Hard to say if they are differnet duro etc. They still feel really stable and its super super hot out today, probably the most squish they will see for a long time. I am able to set up a flip trick without feeling squirrley. the bushings are much much different to thunders + plus the combination of the height possibly it feels very turny right out the gate,where thunders feel super tight. I feel like they give you the extra height so you dont die.

I think you are meant to ride these with huge wheels, because it feels really good to me on 58mm radial full. the pinch feels really natural, like when i was riding thunders with small wheels.

there is a lot of meat for grind clearance which is aweomse. they feel like a similar weight overall to thunder, not massively heavy like indy. i got the standard, non hollow version. flip tricks feel solid.

[BeachChicken]

I weighed them and posted a few pages back, my Indy Cast Hollows are about the same weight FWIW. They also have the worst KP clearance (measured that too) of any high truck so IDK what you mean about grind clearance. Bigger wheels helping pinch makes sense because it reduces the hanger articulation prematurely. Same thing happens with Aces.

[rawbertson.]

Made an account to post a review as there are only a few on YouTube and they're pretty limited.

First off some dimensions and specs:

Weight for 150 standard: 357

thunders weigh 363 for cast plates , indys weight 397g (according to tactics)
so these are EVEN LIGHTER than thunder teams... but that makes sense to me because these have forged plates and indys + thunders have cast which i imagine is where a lot of the weight is saved.

Sorry I did not mean the kingpin clearance - I actually meant how much meat until you bite into the axle. I did not measure, but it looks significantly bigger than thunders - more like the other brands (probably not as much as Slappy or Destructo)

[Kaezan]

Been skating these for 3 weeks now. Still feel as good as the first day for me.

I usually ride tight trucks (with hard bushings) for stability, but these were great for me out of the box. They feel both tight and loose at the same time... very stable in the middle, and they turn better than any truck I have used in the past (Indy, Thunder, Slappy, Venture). Wheel bite still happens, but not nearly as much as other trucks.

Don't expect everyone to love these, but I think I will keep using these as my main set of trucks going forward.

Anyone know if any skate bushings match these sizes? I really like the stock ones, but doubt I'll be able to get replacement ones once they blow out. Already searched online and couldn't find any.

I just DMd the distributor like a baby
I dont think I would want to ride anything but the stock ones
apparently they are 92a - that is what i ride on indy - Blue Bushing Crew (BBC)
These feel realllllly good
Its funny cause these were known for some quality issues early on but these are making thunder and venture trucks look really ass now... and i feel like part of it has to do with the bushings being superior.

It is less KP clearance than Thunder actually. As for axle to top of hanger I didn't measure as that kinda doesn't matter if your KP is in the way. I had new Lurpiv, Indy, Thunder, and Venture and it was the lowest of all of them (but we are talking a mm here)

Hmmm...who did you email? And did they just send them out or sell you some?

[BeachChicken]

I'm sure if you email Lurpiv if they blow out they can get you bushings.

My guess is since the trucks are made in the Ace factory that some combo of Ace high/low bushings would work.

Still love mine - Been skating them all summer. Still have yet to hear any stories about these new ones bending or breaking too which is awesome.

My cast hollow Indy 144 weighed 366 before I bolted them on and my Cast Thunder 148 team hollow were 340 so Tactics isn't always accurate. It would make sense Lurpiv are light as they don't have the wings below the hanger.

Pretty high bar to have to axles stay in one piece lol. How common are they in Europe? Saw my first pair in So Cal in the wild today.

[Dwyck]

saw two pairs at LES on Monday... looked good on the setups

They are not in any shops in Norway yet, so not common at all. Probably all over the place in Malmø/Cph though.

well that does make sense if we are talking hollows
Lurpiv also come in Hollow and Non Hollow so you gotta specify which one you were talking about... so the hollow weighed 357g you are saying?

Hollow were 345 IIRC but it's sorta irrelevant since I didn't actually like anything about them minus the turn.

The kid I saw yesterday said he first started with 54 and was not a fan of "how they locked in" but is on 58 radials now and enjoying them so the bigger wheel theory adds up.

[rawbertson.]

I wonder what Oski's setup is
I imagine he rides at least 56mm wheels

[HyperBeam]

random question for those who've skated these. what is the feedback like? is it dead/muffled, tinny, rattle-y?

also intrigued by the huge weight savings over indy/ace? how does it do that? and can you feel it?
