I haven't written about my experience with the trucks till now, coz you guys have covered all the the things about them, but this month i have finally put them on main setup and have started skating them regularly. I have tried them first earlier this year and in the begining they were too soft and squirly, i usually skate 14 wb and this also adds to the mega turning they have. For the experiement i tried them on an old 14.25 deck and they felt more stable. As for now i set up a new 14 wb with the trucks and tried some old bushing combos and finally settled down to stock bottom and a film top bushing with one tread of the kingpin showing. I think the stock bushing would be perfect for the winter. I will reapeat the other things you have mentioned here - the height, the weight (i am on the raw model), the pop, the grind, the pinch - all good. I had a little trouble nosesliding one super old and crusty ledge and it might be because of the thin baseplate, but with some more wax and not pushing so hard on the ledge it slided ok. On smooth ledges they are buttery. I could not want anything more from a set of trucks. No need for ultra light for me, coz i skate in the range 7.875-8.125 and my set up is not heavy at all. Good job Royal, i would buy them again. And thanx to everyone sharing info here for making me try these. Cheers!
