I had to cut deep wheel wells on the Warpig cuz I refused to accept I needed risers on loose Ace’s/56mm wheels and kept wheelbiting on the rail on my heel side so I cut it down. Also need to move the rails inward cuz the deck almost scrapes on slides so this thing is getting some more speed holes soon.
Whatever board OCD is, I have the opposite.
my friend once broke one when a screw stripped and he tried to pull it off, then still kepy using it, i thought that was what happened.
i had a 14" wheelbase deck with rails last summer and you could see the shape of the wheels edged into the rails there. tey need to make shorter rails for short wheelbase decks.
did you switch the kingpin nuts on the old indys? mine are in a similiar state but the nuts are worn down to where i can even adjust the back truck anymore.
Yeah the nuts were ground down at a steep angle and the washer had mushroomed around so they had to go when I replaced the blown out bushings. Had to push down on the hanger and use vice grips on the nut cuz there wasn't enough for a skate tool to grab on to.
yeah front truck washer is also folded around it on mine. the bushing is blown out too but cant be bothered anymore.
funnily i replaced the back truck bushings once, but was too lazy to do both. running completely diffrent bushings in both now. might also have the opposite of that OCD,
Slappy hour makes a 13.5 rail
yeah that's what i was thinking of! sadly not in Europe.
it's crazy how 14.5" is so standart. some are 14" but never saw smaller ones before. also sucks some rails don't actually have the lenght specified so you won't know what you get.
