Does anyone have the krux 9.0? I'm eyeballing them for a cruiser setup. Am I making a mistake?

I have a set and i use them on wedged longboard risers. Yes i know this is kooky as hell but they feel good that way and the wheelbite clearance is fuckin nuts

I never really cared about Krux other than the kingpins and no one has ever said much other than some varying opinions about turning but that statement about the clearance makes sense and a good reason to buy them.

Are indy 159 or any kind of 8.75 trucks alright for a 9.56 board? I've only got enough for one pair, and have a 9.1 and 9.56 anti-hero eagle ready to go just need to figure out the trucks, wanted to do 9.56 first, and size down to 9.1 after, without switching trucks. I also heard ace 55. I've seen 155mm trucks on a 9.75 board still being somewhat reasonably sized, so I reckon it would be ok. Opinions? The pic of the trucks should be somewhere in this post, but ill link em if it doesn't work out. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Measure the width of the boards at the inserts and figure it out from there. If they taper a lot 159s might be alright. Otherwise I’d go with 169s. Ace 55s are great too at exactly 9.0”.

Never had issues with the pins on any theeves I've owned (didn't have bones bushing blowing out back on V1s either)...

To be fair I've blown bones bushings on indys as well, however the issue arose a lot quicker with theeves. I'd be down to try out the V3s at some point but I really don't need more trucks atm lol

8.25/8.25 I put washers on truck side to widen truck contact 1 mm there's still a lot of overhang so it's fine....8125/8.25 no washer...you're just trying to cram as much truck as you can into the board.

I used to skate washers so the axel wouldn't stick out at all....but it looks a bit fucked.... Stumpy...

got my indy 149s worn down enough to toss on a cruiser board where they'll die an honorable death by slappy.

settling in on stock ace 44s on a wknd 8.25 with some worn down 56mm spitfire conical fulls. pretty happy with everything. really liking the turn and the way they look.

what should i expect from warranties? i just e mailed both indy and ace, and the way they responded it seemed like they were only gonna send the one part of the truck that fucked up, not a full set, and that got me kind of pissed off. i fucking payed for these fucking things, they failed me, now i cant skate because of that, and these companies are such cheap asses that they cant even send me a set of trucks? fuck that. am i wrong in assuming this? should i lie so i can get a full set?

Dude. Fuck off with that shit. Yes it’s annoying that your shit broke but let’s be real here. Fix what’s broken and be done with it. If they want to throw in some extra for good measure, good on them but expecting that and considering lying to them is fucking low! 👎

I don't go bigger than 54 on mine. I'm a big boy and ride thunders nut flush and F4 conical, get bite but not enough to be pitched regularly.
Had 56 classics on it for a minute but felt like I was under psychic attack. Would recommend 1/8th risers if your going there.

yeah, im the one being low for wanting a full replacement, definitely not these companies that guarantee you theyre the best on the market and even have warranties to back that up, yet they're still shoddily made shit and they sell 1000s of trucks monthly but i cant even ask for a new set of trucks when id been ripped off with a shitty pair because thats just too “low”. i don't ever lie to individuals for my personal gain, but i have no problem lying to shitty companies to get my moneys worth.

the company. i payed for a set of trucks, they are now unusable due to shoddy craftsmanship, therefore i want a new set of trucks. i don't remember ever paying just for baseplates...why are you people defending the big company? do you not want them to supply you with a new set of trucks? its not like im asking for a full refund and 10 sets just because the pivot cup was creaky or some shit...and its not like independent is some small skater owned business that can't afford to do this...obviously thats not the reason i think this should be done, but still.
