I keep tightening my aces, but for some reason they keep loosening. Am I going crazy or are they suppose to do that. I have 2.5 threads showing in the back truck but it feels looser than my front with half a thread showing. I must be going insane, better check into the mental hospital.
Have your kingpins rattled loose? This happened to me with both of my Ace Classics.
One other thing I notice is the back truck bushings always compress more than the front on my boards, so even try switching the bushings around - front now in the back, back now in the front.
Compared to changing hangers or other things that make it just weird, bushings usually don't feel too bad or acan even give you a better ride for a while, but I will also try to put them in the same way / same facings as where they were, just switched between trucks.
Some sets of Ace trucks I have had traded in have such stiff feeling bushings, but others feel so mushy and have very little resistance, so it is an interesting thing, given the people who had them say they are still stock bushings in them.
Maybe some people would benefit from having a set of the Ace hard bushings in the back truck and the regular bushings in the front truck too, or even combinations of each, but again, mark which are which so it is not a bad mix and match and you end up with them in the wrong trucks.
One set of Ace trucks that came in had about three to four threads showing, but the bushings felt great on them, not at all tight or squashed feeling, so I just used the angle grinder and took down the kingpins, so now they work well, more clearance and fewer issues all up. Just went really easy on the grinder so I didn't cook the bushings, which can happen if you go too hard on it - they bubble and just melt.
Just a few thoughts anyway.
