Not sure if it's been said earlier in the thread, but the next revision is confirmed to be coming out spring 2021, super stoked. Rumored to have forged baseplates and hangars, and new sizing too. Should be fucking awesome.
This might have been addressed way back in the thread but for whatever reason nothing specific was coming up in the search:
I keep blowing out the front pivot cup on my current set of 55s. I skated them for about a month with no issues, but at some point I noticed that the pivot had a bunch of play in the cup. I swapped it out for a new one, it felt great for about 2 weeks, and then went back to being super loose. Repeat again. It doesn't bother me as far as my skating but I don't want to prematurely mess up the truck. I do a lot of slappies so I realize that it might just be collateral, but...
Has anyone else had this issue and successfully resolved it with Riptides or some other fix?
Riptides will fix this, I couldn't imagine spending that much on pivot cups at first, but I did and I don't regret it one bit
I pulled a decent scam on Zumiez and scored 2 sets of Ace's both 44's I have to say they are rad trucks only thing I've had slight issues with is the weird curvature they have off top looks like they're bowing slightly towards the axles. I've been skating them but mainly babying them not hitting too heavy of a drop it frankly makes me wonder about these trucks apart from their sleek design and awesome turning are they like a crappy walmart truck? where you ollie off somethign too high are they going to bend?
The OG Ace's actually bent, pretty badly actually, I just got a barely used pair from a buddy and bent them within a week. I doubt Zumiez had ones that old though, just saying.
