Alright. Bout to go insane.
I've ridden Indy's for 10 years.
About a year ago, I switched to Ace 44. They were great. Loved how they turned.
The one day I started noticing my board was feeling weird-- stiff/wonky turns and this strange 'hollow' feeling, especially when skating down the street. Really really abrasive ride. And generally the board has been feeling slower, and inconsistent speed-wise too-- like depending how my weight is on it, it just slows down for no reason (it's not wheelbiting), or just feels like i'm pushing up hill all the time.
Obviously, I thought it was the wheels. I switched those (twice), as well as bearings, and removed the riser pads thinking maybe those were the problem. Also thought it might be the deck, thinking it was soggy, so been through a couple of those. Nothing. Still feeling stiff, slow, and just wonky. The only thing left in my troubleshooting is the Ace's.
Has anyone experienced some shit like this? Any ideas on what I should try? Is there some way I can check and see if my Aces are bent or something?
