I got my trucks yesterday from Noot, how many people did he buy trucks for? Was Nootnoot Rodney Mullen?
Man the long board truck thing killed indy for me. I was willing to set aside the racism, but long boarding, gtfo... - DH

What did you use to remove it?

So long ago. As soon as I got em I stripped em. I used goof off on a sponge and lots of rubbing with said sponge.
 Nothing too strong since I remember my friends old Gullwing Mags fucked up cause he let them sit on fucking strong industrial stripper haha! Shits cracked!

There's been some big guys (200+) on here of late running Aces so I wanted to offer up Doh Dohs as a worthwhile option to explore. Someone - probably Rob? - mentioned a while back they fit pretty well in Aces, albeit with an extra thread showing due to a slightly shorter top bushing. I've been experimenting with Ace setups (stock, Krux, Bones) and I'm really feeling black (100a) Doh Dohs; even tightened a bit extra there's plenty of turn without the floppiness I (220ish) was getting with Krux bushings.

Hard MiniLogo bushings are also an option (same height as stock ACEs).

The Deluxe Supercush bushings in 97 and 99 also fit Ace trucks.  The 94 do not, they are standard Indy height.

Sorry if this has already been addressed
What risers fit flush?
When using a Krux kingpin, do you need to shave the bushings for it to fit?

Not sure about the first one, I usually just trim risers if need be, easy with soft ones I guess. With the old aces, the top bushing was a bit tall for the krux pin so unless you tried very hard, you had to shave a bit. I think the new ones are the same though I am not certain.

If you ride loose (and if you are on ACEs, why wouldn't you be) they are too tall for the Krux pin if you want to be safe in knowing the pin has been secured in the nut's nylon; I'm either going to shave them down, just use the Krux top (92a vs 91a) and ACE bottom...or finally grab some plates / new aces and not fux with the krux anymore.

ACE was willing to float me some new plates under warranty as my mounting holes bloobed out on my magplates but I didn't accept, they're old and been through the ring; it would feel wrong to take new ones.

I checked with the ACE folks, they were surprised - leftover stock from either diamond or Socal

Silver kingpins for Classic, black kingpins for Low.

Socal is already down 3 sets...get'em while they're hot (and sell them for double on ebay;)

Those mag baseplates should be compatible with the new hangers, yeah?

Should?  The only relevant tweak noted on the new stage is an improved bushing seat for less wear on the cups so one has to assume there is a slight difference somewhere?

I just took off baseplates for a V1 and V3. They're completely identical and only the hangers are the different.

That's my guess.

I'm not going to bother, as I'm content with Theeve.

I'm gonna grab some just to have some - also, speaking of Theeve, I just got my hands on some used Tihangers - I know the geo's are diff., but I'd still like to see how it feels to have the TiH on the mag plate.

It won't be that noticeable enough to throw you off.

I wish Theeve still sold the Ti Kingpins, silly light!

I missed out on the plates. Why can’t they just make them again?

No idea, people obviously want them, even the pro/rippers that ride them at my local rock them. Socal sold out lightning fast.

My guess is the hassle in getting them made? Doesn't seem that cost/markup was an issue.

A hollow forged option would be the ticket!

I was told by Ace that they will not make the mag plates again.  The issue was that too many were getting damages in shipping due to the magnesium being more fragile than aluminum.  Obviously Tensor can ship them with no issues but they also have their own factory

Man. I got some 55's and the bushings seem super soft....I know that's not uncommon with most stock bushings but I guess with that height and the turning radius it seems so loose...
