I was waiting to see how much the AF1's would cost in Europe, other than in that Polish website, because they use a different currency in Poland.
So it seems like it is 40 euros a truck, 80 EUROS A SET.
https://www.bonkers-shop.com/product/skateboarding/trucks/ace-trucks-af1-44-truck-polished/That's 10euros more than a set of regular Indys (and I always thought they were a bit expensive), is the 10 euros extra for the re-threader nut I dont need?!
I'm also having a hard time seeing where is this the "most technical truck ever made".
They essentially just corrected what was wrong with the classics, which should be a given by now.
If you take the marketing filter of the way this is what you'll see:
- "No more shitty aluminium guys, we got the good stuff now"
- "good axles too, fingers crossed they dont bend now"
- "we hollowed the baseplate like all the other brands"
- "we made our washers fit the bushings"
- "no more shitty pivot cups too"
- "we also put a re-threader nut that no one asked for"
- "oh, and by the way we're charging 10$ more then all our competition for essentially the same product".
In what what way is this a game changer truck?
I know most of you don't care and will buy them anyway, but to me this is just a glorified standard truck with a hefty price tag.
