Thinking of cutting/shaving down my independent bushings. Should I only cut the top one, bottom, both equally?

Just survived another bout of truck madness. I need a note on my mirror, so I see it every morning:
"Face it, you're an Indy guy"

Its nice to try other shit out, but I need to just accept it for what it is
[close]

I feel you. I believe deep down inside I'm an indy guy...they're just so fucking heavy, Ti included compared to everything else but ACE ,and these legs need all the help they can get.
[close]

Maybe I need to step out of ye olde standard and get some hollows? I've never tried any Indys but regular. I fear change.

I wanted be an ace guy. But I came back to Indy and I’m happy. Hollow or ti indys with the standard baseplate is great my old legs can last now and Indy grind so well.

Running some Indy cast hollows ATM and they feel pretty perfect. Glad they're a regular offering. Just ordered some mid hollows and am curious to try them as well.

Set up some AF1s, stock. I had forgotten how weird the Ace turn is to Indys. Indy turns feel like they’re in one fluid motion. I made a sharp turn on Aces and the turn went into overdrive and sharper than I expected.
Interested to see how they break in.
Nothing I do deserves more than an iphone camera.

I've been extremely happy with the 169 Titaniums and Indy blue cylinder/barrel bushings for a while now. Nut pretty much flush with one thread barely showing. Love the turn and once broken in the bushings have some serious rebound. The thinner, forged baseplate is so much nicer with 7/8" hardware, too.

Only gripe was bad squeaking from the pivot cups, any treatment would only last for a session or two. Put in some Riptide pivot cups now and they don't squeak, plus I feel the rebound of the truck is even better. Also ordered some Riptide bushings, however the blue Indys are perfect right now so shelving them for now.

Start with shaving bottom side of the top bushing, then go from there; I find taking 1/8-1/4 off the top bushing works great.

I personally had bad experiences with a shaved bottom bushing, the geo of the truck felt very different. So I only shave the top bushings like 3mm.

Agreed, wouldn't touch the bottoms when shaving down bushings.

i'm guessing these are just hollow kingpins as they don't show the axles
kind of a disappointment

edit: they don't show the kingpins either >:(

Hollow axle, solid kingpin. Saw a pic but I can't remember where.

I'm doubtful we're going to see hollow pins anytime soon, something tells me with the plate as it is (with such a deep cavity) them hollow pins be snappin during RnD.

386g vs 402g for 144s IIRC, but don't quote me. Would basically put the mids back down to standard weight if correct.

It wasn’t on their accounts. I think it was a skateshop.
Not sure about the weight but, I could see it bringing it back to a regular high truck as mids are heavier because of the special lock.

And the hanger is thicker.  They needed to up the kingpin clearance so they added more material.

Are you supposed to run Bones bushings with boardside washers? I put in flat washers on the boardside too but theyre kinda hard to crank down now. Noticed they only come with 2 washers instead of 4

The washers they supply go under the nut, and the boardside bushing sits right on the baseplate. However, at least with Indys you need another washer under the boardside bushing to preserve the truck’s geometry. I think it’s best with Bones flat washer under the boardside bushing, and original Indy washer under the nut.

On Indy I take the original nut side washer and put it board side (because it is smaller than the normal Indy boardside), then use the thin Bones on the nut side.

You actually don't need to put a washer on the bottom when using bones, on Indy. They are close enough to where you don't need to worry about it.

Thanks for the correction, fixed it in my post. As for the washer, putting it there matches the distance pretty much exactly to stock bushings so why not.

For people asking about the Indy Reynolds mid hollows weight, from what I've seen they are:

129=368g
139=376g
144=386g
149=392g
159=395g

vs classics:

129=367g
139=376g
144=387g
149=394g
159=402g

So they do seem to put the mids back at classic weight or slightly under.

Can't figure out how to search for this specific issue but - do any of yall run thunders on decks with super short WB to mitigate the way Thunders extend it?

Can't figure out how to search for this specific issue but - do any of yall run thunders on decks with super short WB to mitigate the way Thunders extend it?

Yes.

For me at least, to get the similar feel of trucks, I have Indy on 14.5 wb boards, then Thunder and Venture on 14.38 wb, so when set up with bushings how I like them, they will actually behave much the same for all three.  I can make all of them turn in a relatively small circle fairly easily without having shakey loose trucks, but I definitely feel the difference if I have all three brands on the same size board / same wheelbase.

Ace is a different story, but I prefer them on other boards, such as longer cruiser shapes anyway, which usually have longer wheelbases, so it again follows the pattern, as they have the shortest wheelbase of all of them.

Gone since 1988.  I talk too much about skateboards.  Sorry.

when I skated thunder 149 hollows I felt I could get away with skating quite long wheelbases due to them beeing so light
