At work in in the warehouse area. I’m pretty sure I know who it is, there’s only one warehouse guy sketchy enough to take it, but I can’t prove it. This dude has apparently stolen and pawned peoples shit off from there before. He doesn’t skate so he’ll probably try to sell it for cheap or something.

Just setting up a new cruiser got a polar 1992 shape deck, see everyone here's got Ace's on their cruisers are they really that much nicer than a same sized indy?
[close]

I mean....yeah. I don’t hear about people liking the Indy turn more than Ace. You can make arguments for Indy I suppose....for just straight up ‘gliding, turning, Gesmaring’ aka cruising....ace.
[close]

It does seem like ace are what I'm looking for then!

Aces are great, they’re just higher maintenance. The only trucks where I’ve had to replace pivot cups (multiple times). Something about how they turn, albeit really well, blows them out. But I’m also speaking from when you’ve skated them already then switching them to a cruiser setup, rather than a brand new set straight to cruiser.

I'm looking to set up my first cruiser. I've had my eyes on this Santa Cruz Hosoi deck for awhile: https://www.oldskullskateboards.com/santa-cruz-old-school-hosoi-mini-rocket-air-re-issue-deck/
Most here recommend Aces I will go for them.

Should I go with the Ace 55s or the 66s? It seems to be tapering quite a bit. Any help would be appreciated

You should ask the shop what they recommend or ask them to measure the width over the trucks. That is a wild taper and my guess would be 55s but maybe they'd even be too wide. Keep in mind Hosoi probably rode that shape with 159 or 169s though. One way or the other, Oldskull should be able to help you out.

Yes. Its fun. But will tip over really easy and send you down fast. Tracking down a rollerskate and sawing it in half for the trucks was fulfilling.

Thats why I'm kinda interested in it, I like the connection to history. You know, like a nerd. Whats the length on that? I'm wondering if I couldn't cut one out of an old deck.

Here's my hammers cruiser. had this deck hanging on the wall for like 4 years. i was looking at it recently and the shape was too sick not to skate

Hammers USA 8.25" x 31.5"
Indy 149 / 92a conical bushings
Flip FKD bearings
Acid Chemical Co. Pods 55mm 86a conical shape
Cliche hardware
Jessup

wheels are pretty flush, stick out a mm or two on the tail

How have the FKD bearings held up for you? and what abec?

I used to run the abec 5's for years but have this weird superstition about abec 7's lol

sharkin · « **Reply #1364 on:** August 21, 2019, 09:54:25 AM »

Pretty similar to my regular setup. Just bit wider trucks and wheels for when i'm being lazy or just going to the store. Haven't gotten a chance to really fuck around with it. Wheels don't seem to hit the rails but we'll see. May have to shave them down a bit like I have done in the past.

i recently rode the krooked drehobl 9.25 and loved it.

it tapers a lot (8.5) over the back truck, which made it a bit tricky to fit trucks but with 159s it felt super smooth.

i like the extra leverage you get over the front truck, but also i have to put extra effort in to land things cleaner
[close]

Yeah, it's a fun shape. Got one on my cruiser. Wide as fuck in the front and tapers a whole bunch in the back. The tail is really short which kinda threw me off at first but surprisingly it still ollies nicely without too much effort with 60 mm wheels and 1/8" risers.

Krooked 9.25" Drehobl shape
Ace 55
Ricta Clouds 78A 60 mm
Zealous bearings
Diamond 1/8" risers
Girl rails
Grip
Bolts

Probably haven't posted this here. Had it for over a year now and I haven't used it all that much. The past few days I've been taking out to cruise the city picking up some groceries and whatnot. It is so much fun. That shape is fucking golden. 6.25" tail I think. Sounds crazy but it's really nice. Cruising around popping ollies, throwing small manuals, running over anything and everything, carving about. Too fun. Give your cruisers some love, go cruise just for fun with a chill mindset. It's awesome!

New beer run cruiser, funny because there really is no need to swap out a deck that is only used to go to the corner store and back. But could not help it after seeing this shape and graphic.
