But when you get a good pop on a Thunder it's real good. More effort but more reward?

I just made a try : 3 speed rings inside / wheel / nut in the normal way flush with the axle that feels enough secured leaving about 1mm of lateral movement for the wheel.It seems perfect. No need for nut shenanigan.EDIT : Oops, quoting error...

The activity itself is self-explanatory: Use your fingers to maneuver a small skateboard. But many pros like famous fingerboarder Joe D say this seemingly easy fingerboarding requires the same precision and determination as skateboarding.

Not worth getting new trucks though….[close]Tbh there is truly no correct answer for board/truck pairing. People will recommend things based off experience and although there are people who preach certain board/truck specifications which sound good on paper, it isn't necessarily always the case.You go with what works for you. There's several accounts of people who love skating Ventures with 14.5"+ WB's and those who skate Aces with 14" WB. I fully support experimentation though especially for those who are interested/curious about trying different truck brands.[close]Almost 400 pages on this thread and you’re telling me it’s all just….opinions? [close]well if you combine X-trucks with Y-durometer bushings, half a riser back truck, 1/4" front, 53mm F4s on a 8.38" Hockey you should have Z-amount of pop after the fulcrum hits the leverty-bevel and that quantifies the exact ratio of BMI-to-concave.[close]
Don’t. Hear me out- stick with what’s working. Till they’re done.
I'm messing with bushing setups and it's seems like these bones bushings changed the geometry a bit. Is that going to be an issue or is it fine?
y’all not fuckin with what i’m fuckin with
Thanks for all the tips y'all.I tried multiple different setups but I ended up back at the one that feels the best to me. Out of all the set ups this setup turns insanely well, and quick. It feels very agile. I'm just hoping the venture bushing holds up for a while.Venture v-light 5.6Ace Af1 pivot cupsIndependent 94a conical on feet side with washerVenture stock street side with bones washer (anybody know the duro?)
