Truck set-ups

[yourbreakfsat]

I want a set of these just for display because of how extra they are :v

Which one of you is going to set those up with a gold foil board? 

[Banned from the room]

I haven't been doing much grinds since the retirement of my last set of cast hangers. They were over. Tried to pass them but no one wanted them. Axle was showing. I miss them. I'll likely not go hollow in the future but we'll see. I'll likely feel different in a month.

Anyway. I recommend this set up with the 3 ply risers if you're running better than 52s.

The truck wobbles.
 More than anything I've run a cut top bushing in before

Cast plates are a must or a second set of plates might be needed too if you're heavier than 160? Idk.

14" wb.

Um that's all.

Definitely wobbles.

The wheel bite marks are from my 54mm tear loops. I had them in with no risers. Now I got these 58mm og classic and the riser works good.

Risers make a big difference with ventures I feel

I asked Elijah what size these new Indy's were and he said they're 151's, which are slightly bigger than 149's. I also asked him when they come out and he said he isn't sure.

I can't wait. I'm hoping that I can get these in 144. This is the best shit Indy has done ever. They will likely have the reverse no hang up yoke too.

I imagine it will be like coming home. Full circle in skating. Stage 4 was my first truck. I have copers and everything.

[close]

The story at this point is that the narrowest size is going to be a hair larger than the 149. Hopefully something for the 144 crowd shows up, but 144s themselves are a relatively recent creation and it’s possible that Indy is not anticipating a lot of demand from the 8.25” crowd.

Very interested in these, will certainly be checking back here. Do we even have a strictly Indy thread?

What’s the geo on krux supposed to be similar to?

Specifically the kIII/k3 but general if anything

I remember reading they’re supposed to be similar to one of the old Indy stages but which

Also which trucks worked best for which conclaves?

I’m trying to dwindle down the madness by just making sure I plug the trucks that bring out more from the board, like do Indy’s work better on a closer to flat or deep concave board?

Brother don't do this to yourself. People ride any trucks on any board Indy's work on damn near any board available.

Krux are weird but I had the K4. They're just a simple truck no crazy traits about them

K4 have a shorter wheelbase than AF1 and K4 are also taller.

Krux seem to be Indy height with one of the shortest wheelbases available among brands.

[j....soy.....]

We haven’t answer his question…..

I remember them not turning well compared to any Indy….so maybe there’s an old Indy but otherwise…I’d say more like a thunder or venture….

 krux is it’s own animal really….the hole makes them incomparable…

[goodatmeth]

I'd say the krux turn is closest to venture, but the krux pop is closest to mini logos, or ace classics, on riser pads

[overwaxed]

So, whatever you do, don’t think you can just Frankenstein Indy’s together...
I just assumed throwing some mindy hangers on forged baseplates, wouldn't be an issue.. that is very incorrect.. running them with white Indy bushings, and they feel tight as fuck...I’ve been telling myself to stay the course and break them bitches in, but I don’t think I can take it...

Anybody want to trade some 44 or 55 classics for some hollow forged 159(149 too)

I’ve got af1 44’s or 55’s I’d trade for the 159’s!

I’m not really trying to jump on the krux wagon until they come out with their own mids or lows cause as mentioned by all

Tall…way too tall and no turn, like a bizarro Indy

I wanted to see if anyone knew the Indy stage they used for reference for the krux geo so I can stick to whatever Indy or trucks that would be, but lower and better at turning

The Indy mids were nice but some days they feel heavy

I like my venture 5.6 but thunder 148 aren’t far off on that style of turnability and wb and thunders are more versatile

I have 3 setups right now trying to ride each setup on rotation to gauge what actually gives me the most consistency, confidence and ease

Should I reveal the dark secret of my current favorite setup I’m starting to grow less ashamed about?

It’s the setup most slappers agree with the design and geo but not the brand and look

I got my deck shape on lock of what I want but always coming back to what trucks…

I would agree with the ML but I recently set mine up again and the bushings were straight ass. Didn't fit the yoke and my trucks were rattling so badly I thought I was riding without pivot cups. Didn't help the pivot cups are hard plastic, swapping to generic pivot cups didn't help either and the hanger was wiggling around like crazy.

Edit: huge bummer, they had an excellent pinch

It's been a minute but yeah, those cups are hard af...if I recall even && mentioned that the ML 'hardware' wasn't great..FWIW the tensor cups fit well and of course swapping to ACE bushings

$14 pivot cups for $28 trucks.

I have a set in mine - although I haven't skated my Mini Logo trucks in a couple years.

[MyUserName]

I’ve ridden standard Indys for as long as I can remember, but felt like switching it up and got some forged hollow 144s after reading great things about them. I love the lightness, but can’t stand the wheelbite I’m getting. I’m a thin dude, ride spitfire conical full 53s, and like my trucks somewhat loose, but even then I never experienced wheelbite like this. No amount of tightening/loosening makes it feel better. I think this fucking baseplate’s 2mm difference is killing me.

Should I try risers? I’ve long ridden them on my cruiser boards, but I’ve never needed them on my “regular” board. I don’t know what else to do, this shit is driving me insane.

[LebowskisRug]

Risers make them taller than Standards so I'd say get some Standard plates.

Try some 1/16 Ace pads. Should get you close to standard height.

Haha yeah you all got me

Currently riding

8.2 krooked full shape
Mini logo raw 8.38
Stock pivot cups
Mini logo 94a orange bushings upgrade
Powell dragon 52mm
Race reds

This setup is so good and total control idk what to think but this is it until I need a reminder

I ride tight rather than medium or trying to be loose after the shame was washed away hearing Chris rise with the fallen zero 4 lyfe cole said he rides them tight

I was trying to hang but loose trucks did not save my life and I just can’t pop for sake with no control, my ankles aren’t built like you cool kats

Now I’m about to drop $14 for those green pivot cups

I like them that much and im psycho


You calling me crayyyyy…zee??
-Roberto from futurama

Or would blue be better?

[Xen]

So Indy offers conical aftermarket bushings and I've never tried them so I'm finally going to pull the trigger. Conical being the same shape as bones bushings.

Anyways, I'm torn between the blue color (92a) or the red (88a). I'm a little over 200lbs and I can't ride super soft bushings, but hards take forever to break in, so I've always stuck with medium Bones. However, Indy's red ones which are considered soft, are 88a and not ridiculously soft like Bones' 81a. Anyone think I'd be good with the red ones, or should I not risk destroying them quickly and go with the blues?

The 88a get a bad rap on this forum, I like them/never had an issue with them. They are not 'soft' by any means and stiffer than say, an 88a supercush. Personally, I'd stick with the conical 92s since you are used to the bones med...as when they are fully broken in, they'll end up being a few duro softer feeling anyway.

No thanks, I don't like them THAT much.

For real...maybe if I was ML flow or something.

Since indy moved to china, I've stopped using riptides and just stick with stock as they're so much better now. Those NFG cups I picked up are still going strong tho, great replacement option.

[LebowskisRug]

Maybe not the right thread for this.

Why is it that a 149 feels different than a 144/148 with washers? I've got 4 washers on the inside of a 148 and my friend has the same bushings in 149. Weighs about the same, trucks have about the same kingpin threads showing, but his trucks feel definitely less twitchy. Only difference is he is on Spitfire classics. When we put the boards together the centerline of our wheels is super similar.

I've got a friend riding Indy's now that feels similar about his stacked 144 vs 149.

It's probably something to do with the actual hanger being wider and not just the wheel to wheel length.

I put Generic indy pivots in my ML’s and they seemed loads better, although they are the slightly older model with the stamp on the hanger
