Has anyone tried the hard bushings?  I'm a big dude, 6'3" 190ish, and want a more stable landing feeling.  If these don't do the trick I'll put the originals back in and throw my Ace's back on my cruiser.

I haven't but Riptide and venom make all sorts of duros in multiple formulas and sizes so if that's all that's keeping you from switching. I bet you could dial them in by using a slighty firmer barrel if you just want a little less wobble when you don't land bolts.

I've got a set of the hard bushings and I love them. I'm 6'4 250. Ive got all my flip tricks dialed with them would deff recommend.

Snappy rebound let's you stay in controll while still having that deep turn 10/10

Nice find. Aussie shop. Maybe they went straight to Aus, from China.

It's [kinda] weird to me that they lead off with the lo by shipping the 8.75" which, and I could b wrong, is a size that most wouldn't want in a 49mm/low truck but rather the standard 53mm.

Throw in some ugly colorways and you've got typical ACE logic.

They do have hollow kingpins though.

I quickly skated a set today….I think they had hollow Kip’s…I can’t believe I don’t remember.  The truck felt pretty good.  The geo is not as psycho as the AF1 but better than most trucks.  Seems like minimal wheelbite too…..

Hollow KP hey . Getting my geek on

They weigh a little bit more than indy forged hollows

8.5 axles

Indy forged hollow 149 = 359.5 grams

AF1 low 55 = 368.5 grams

Very tempted to get a set of 33's before the OCD sale ends

What size wheels? I think I'm one of the very few dummy's that likes medium big wheels and low trucks but haven't tried with aces because I'm a scaredy cat.

I think this will be a good truck for you.  I think the board had like 53’s on and the geo keeps that similar vertical angle which will help with wheelbite.   The one thing I’m wondering is manuals and pinch….

It’s taken me this long to understand that pinch is wheelbite….

Looking forward to hearing what people think of them once they are getting into peoples hands. Curious how they will compare to regular height aces. Been enjoying af1 55s lately

Nah it’s gotta be the thunders maybe but then again those are 52/53mm so

Yes, but my truck madness days theorizes that truck width affects height/tipping/carving

I feel like the wider the trucks the lower the truck gets no matter what they call the height

Like why does my 129 Indy mid feel slightly taller than my 144 mids

But yes these ace lows are the lowest widest trucks on the scene now
yes

If you hover around 8.25"/8.3x" like I do, the classic 44s and ML are gold (especially due to their height).

The ACE low are AF1 only, so no 8.35", still have to get classic 44s for that size.

ACE are fantastic, but ML are a damn close runner up for a low wide truck...granted the forged mindys timing and at 8.75 feels like a direct response to the ACE lows.

Exactly why I have a set of 8.38 ML on standby if I’m feeling to go classic low and controlled with turn

Sadly for Indy like I replied in another post the forged Indy just feel off

Just to clarify is it actually true the low af1 is just the baseplate with a regular hangar or the whole truck is actually a low redesign version of the af1?
yes

Are the hangers interchangeable.

For example if I get the AF1 60 LOWS and do not like the reduced height can I pop those badboys on my current AF1 55 baseplate?

Something tells me to just buy standard 60s
