South central decks have a very sharp edge on the nose and tail only. Also a small dent on the back bolts is another tell tale.

Curiosity

Small dent on the back bolts? Deformity in the press or some sort of signature? I’ve never noticed this

Like a punch on top of the board on the back truck holes. Just a very small dent. BBS would do it on the front truck.

Just got the Ulta Corp.
Didn’t notice sharp edges at nose and tail.
Small dent between back bolt holes.
South Central confirmed(?)

The hard edges are usually
On their popsicles and maybe they have done away with them or toned them down.  Almost like the heroin razor edge but not as extreme.

Yeah, definitely not even close to a Razor Edge situation; straight up regs rounded edge.

This was the sharpest one we had in the shop, they used to be almost square.

I had a 5Boro last year that was South Central and it was noticeably more squared off than a BBS or PS. Wasn't quite a Heroin razor edge like others have said. Wonder when they started rounding them off more.

First Slap post ever.

Dane 1
159 Indys
Spitfire OG Classics (originally 58mm)

Thinking about switching to 9" Aces ( not a magic carpet fan )

[hikyle2]

I’ve been tempted to put Indy 169 on my krooked sweatpants deck, can anyone confirm if the wheels would be visible from the top on the rear truck?  159’s seem just a bit smalll.

[Anxiety]

Put them on and find out (:

They fit good on the one I rode

That’s what had me curious, his board setup looks perfect, the 169 axle is a bit longer, 9.125” so I thought wheels might hot rod.

That 0.125” is about half the width of a standard pencil eraser so I reckon you’ll be alright. I say this from a place of love as someone who has also overthought truck width down to the millimeter.

Always an individual choice, but there are way more Indy 169s, Thunder 161s or Ace Classic 55 / AF1 66s than other smaller trucks on setups in this thread and on here in general.  Search "Sweatpants" for some good pics of both top and bottom views, the top view doesn't show any wheel at all showing.

I would say go with 169s with any more regular or normal shaped wheels, or 159s with big wide ass wheels, but that is just me.

Most of the shaped 9.5 to 10" boards I have skate way better on 169s, or other approximately 9" wide trucks, taking the shape and taper into account.


* Sweatpants is 9.3 over the far front bolts and 8.8 over the far back bolts, but I don't get a lot of wheel showing at all, even with the Radial Full wheels when lined up to that shape board.

[Plan9Customs]

Yeah I couldn’t resist haha

Thought so, the grip kinda gave it away. I’m pretty sure Ambika has been tossing those in on orders. Got a sheet on with my last 2.
 I can understand why you couldn’t resist. The sale prices are insane.

You can also think of it as 1 and a half speed washers on either side as 1/8" is roughly 3mm and a speed washer is about 1mm. Been overthinking too

I bought the second one and it came in yellow. I don't mind. Posted it on this thread a few days ago

[finecojeffe]

just set this up. Got it from that samples site. 9.125"x short" with short nose and tail. Symmetrical shape really works well I think. I'm presently injured, but the little 15 minute session I had on it was enough to confirm it's fun. Bones x99, 54mm, and some oldish indy 159 (maybe 169 when they were sub 9"). I'm not really sure how to tell the age of these trucks. Lil jawns rails.

From skatesamples.com site?

GFB twin egg shape?


Looks good any which way.

Re Indy trucks, one pic of the baseplate, pivot cup end, on an angle showing the hanger and I can tell you exactly what they are.

Looking at the pic, most likely Stage 9 (which had single cross and two holes in the middle of the baseplate) or early Stage 10 (also single cross on a solid baseplate, no holes) both with what was at the time a more bulky looking 166 hanger.
