What disappointment I’ve had with these destructos
I got the d1 mid 5.5 and already out the gate the kingpin got loose and just to see how Jenky the trucks were I gave a decent soft knock to the pin with my skate tool and it fell right out
Then I was checking quality of the metal they use by trying to line up the kingpin spline and seeing if I can just push the pin in
Low and behold, the metal is cheap and I was already pushing the kingpin a little in, I then proceeded to hammer the king pin back in and didn’t have my heavier hammer and used the regular every day nailing hammer and only 2 strikes and it was back in
A day of riding and testing and bam back to square 1
Loose again
Fuck destructo, they’re almost as bad as silver
Lifetime guarantee my ass, the turning was decent and the weight was okay, the height is okay
But nothing really out of the ordinary that was magical like aces turning
So far trying my Indy’s the proper way(loose) and the stock bushings don’t really cut it, but the bones are working perfect
Only using the flat washer on the deck side/bottom bushing and letting the nut contact the roadside/top bushing raw, the turn is very close to ace but still not as quick and rebound
Idk, I think I’ve become a believer in the aces
They’re such good trucks! Can’t wait for the new all forged ones, the only thing I would want from aces is the metal to be like Indy/thunder/ventures/ermico quality
But I’m sure they’ll be like that with the new design
