Ace trucks

AF1s being skated in here

[bigdave]

 just thought it was hilarious that they said they've read all the DMs....yet they appear to be off, and I think have been as long as I've been following them. I've DMd Joey and Shrewgy a couple of times (like a man, shalom) and havent even seen a read receipt.

[newspaperparty]

I sent them a lengthy DM about my frustration about no 8.75 truck haha. They responded and said it was a "loaded question". Regardless I'm still excited to try the new 55s

In a US shop for $65/ pair. Size guide also posted but still no hanger sizes listed anywhere but the Polish site...

So about 10 bucks more per truck. Crikey. Skateboarding inflation is real and here to stay.

$65??? No thanks

[Frank and Fred]

Well that same shop is selling the classics for $55 which you can get elsewhere for $40. So I’m guessing the AF1s will be $50 to $65 depending where you go.

This shop isn’t far from me but, I also want to wait for another shop to get them.

[jakeumms]

They're selling regular Stage 11 Indys for $60. I haven't bought regular Indys in a shop since before prices went up but I remember they were $50. I think it's safe to say they've got a little bump on the end of their prices and the AF1s won't be so expensive once they're out there.

The off part to me is that they’re under a Canadian longboarding truck company.

[Mulldrifter]

what's that joke with paris trucks and ace ? they dont even look remotely the same, paris are 57.5mm tall tkp with extra long kingpin. they also are known for longboard trucks but those are street trucks

[Mbrimson88]

Just wait a little longer...

But really I wonder how many shops are going to try to pre sell the AF1 trucks or how much of a crazy mess everything will be if people are really that keen to get their hands on some.

I guess seeing so very many comments on the Ace Trucks thread here in recent days, I think they have done their job well.


Funny that some places are posting things like this too:

[jay_nev]

A good portion of comments have been confusion. Any press is good press? To me, it's been a frustrating roll out with misinformation. I'm not all that eager to jump and try a pair day 1 due to it.  "captialize on the hype" haha. to me the hype died off a bit!

[FrozenIndustries]

Yet another peek at the 77s. I just think they look so cool.

its going to be confusing as hell. Hence, I will only purchase these in person.

Does anyone have experience with tight Ace trucks on big shit? I have an opportunity to hit a mini mega size foam pit and soft flybox and I'm wondering whether the bushings will blow out if cranked and if the axles will bend with big impacts.

If a foam pit can bend axles, that's some serious quality issues. haha

I meant the flybox. Impacts that will snap a deck immediately if your foot is placed wrong. As for the foam, I want to crank the bushings, because it's very uncomfortable and unstable with loose trucks. Cranking Aces seems pretty blasphemous, I'm wondering how they will hold up.

Throw some hard duro bushings in there for the session and then you can either have them flush or a little thread showing, depending on your weight.

This might fuck some of you guys up but I think they extend the WB 1/8th inch per truck so maybe 1/4in total.
I’m guessing it’s a more similar WB to Indy

***update
Can confirm the Indy/ace wb. I wonder if they did that to “strengthen” the truck up. Hince the “new pivot cups”
Also waiting on confirm that price is $65 USD
**** about $60/62 USD for non color, and $66 USD for color or something around there.

Indy hollow standard baseplate.


Indy forged hollow

Regardless of what you think about the new Ace trucks, I gotta hand it to them for really dialing up the hype. Very well handled marketing, here

That’s really disappointing, honestly. Thanks for sharing before I purchased!

Wild, though how they line up on the edge of the baseplates doesn't necessarily mean they will sit at the same spot when mounted. The mounting holes can be drilled in different places on the baseplates as well. I don't want to ask if you can measure them mounted on a board that you know the WB of, but that is the true test.

Measuring the WB that way only works if the baseplates are exactly the same dimensions - Ace and Indy aint. And AF1's may even be different length from the Classics. You gotta mount them up on the same deck and measure each side, middle of axle to middle of axle. Especially if you're talking 1/4" difference.

100% agree we won’t know till we get them but again don’t shoot the messenger. Just got ahold of some pics and were able to ask a few questions so figured you guys would like to see it.

[jay_nev]

Can I speak to your manager

Would actually prefer closer to Indy wb. No? y’all like the +2.75” ?? Lighter pop?


And also with mounting on deck, the bushings are too much of a variable, no? They can be mounted and sitting (and broken in once worn) differently. How do you know the axle is a perfect 90° right bugle from the baseplate??

[DiscordanceAxis]

Let's see those AF1's lined up next to some classics. If the wheelbase is extended there is zero reason to buy these trucks since they'll turn like Indy (shit).

[Murge]

If the wheel base is changed it’s a deal breaker for me. I may as well just skate Indy’s at that point. Like I’ll probably put Indy Ti hangers on ace baseplates or something.

Click that first photo. That is the regular ACE’s next to some AF1’s

[bigdave]

idk man. They adamantly claim same geometry in their post last week. Could you have the "same geometry" on a different wheelbase? Maybe? who knows.
