Nothing I do deserves more than an iphone camera.
flat spotted 3 times in 2 weeks, other than that awesome wheels
Baby is gonna be raised by Max and Cyrus
Not worth starting a thread over but I'm starting to succumb to truck madness. Currently on 5.8 ventutes but have a pair of 149 Indy hollows. Is the general idea ventures extend WB and work better on mellow kicks/more fingers of flat while Indy's shorten WB and are better for steep kicks/less fingers of flat?

Seems like both Krux and Indy inverted kingpins are the same.

They fit fine in indys (a little overlap but you can trim that if you want to make it a pain in the ass to remove them in the future), venture, and every other truck I've tried them in. Just beware that Khiro is out of business so whats on the market now is all that there's going to be, so I'd suggest stocking up if you like them.

where can i get a set of small ass trucks? smaller than the indy 109si am having trouble finding some small trucks for a old school carving type board. i have hangars but no baseplates
I bought two of those tackle boxes full of khiro product back in the day. I still have some pivot cups luckily. It's probably why I haven't bought the riptides.I knew the guy behind khiro passed, but I didn't know that they shut it down.
Let us all take a moment of silence for all our brothers and sisters who are dealing with truck madness. We have reached page 100 and shown the world that it’s not easy, but we’re strong as one.
anybody ride standard thunder 147's, or any size with the same height, with 56+mm wheels? the madness is real right now. debating going from indy ti 139 to standard 139 for ridiculous reasons.

Why 56?

Why 56?[close]i was thinking the same thing. gonna hunt down some 54mm clouds then. but 56 because I have two sets of clouds, both 56mm. one set 86a chrome, other 78a. got them to make these crusty streets a little better while my old ass back gets unfucked lol. and i have a box with a variety of 8" axle trucks I've accumulated. so been messing around with deck wheelbase, truck/wheel combos and trying to find that sweet spot for what i do. and what i do is trash hah

Will do the top washer and see the difference it makes and report back. Either this or will go full person and go bones So the madness starts with the Thunders!![close]I’d also like to add that I only weigh 120lbs, and had trouble with thunders feeling too tight (especially coming from ace). But with trading the stock top for a flat top washer it made a noticeable difference.

Needle nose pliers work well to remove a pivot cup. Does anyone know what the dimensions are for venture low bushings? Like how tall each bushing is?

I know the bottoms are 12.7mm, can't remember the tops off-hand and I don't have a set close by to check but I want to say 9.2mm or thereabouts.

I'll measure and take pics when I get home from work.

Also on another forum someone said they've seen the assembly room and they pull them all from the same bins regardless of the truck, the only thing that changes is the color. I wouldn't doubt that you may have had some aftermarket ones that were weird, but as far as the straight stock ones go there shouldnt be any difference.

I swear, stocks from highs and lows side by side, the barrels for the lows are like 1-2mm shorter. The only after markets I've used in lows (supercush) needed to be shaved down. Pics as soon as I get home, and if I'm wrong I'll fully admit in.
