Advice wanted. I have real trouble with trucks. I always end up eroding/warping the bolt holes on the baseplate through skating (too many crookeds). The trucks then start to slightly shift and become unaligned as I skate. Can I stop this happening without changing the way I skate? Would something like riser pads help? ---

Sounds like they aren’t done up tight enough, I’ve never managed to do this and I do loads of crooks. Do your truck bolts sit flush with board? Or above grip/level with grip? Or just below grip? Also are your bolts loose in the holes when you get a new setup? Maybe they are slightly smaller diameter than holes hence rattle around ---

When I get a new deck, I tend to have the bolts sitting above the grip and then screw them down a bit once the new board’s broken in a bit after skating. I try and keep the bolts tight but I am not one to be tightening them before every session. ---

I think that might be when they are working themselves around a bit and be causing holes to widen. The last couple mm when I tighten bolts I use a spanner to pull the bolt down rather than an allen key or whatever to spin the bolt which can ruin your grip. Maybe try that? ---

Do you use the small head bolts like the shorties ones. The only time that has happened to me is when i had some of these. ---

No, regular bolts. Thanks @Mark, will try your suggestion whenever I get new trucks. ---

So my new setup story continues. Acquired some grip so will take it for a shred tomorrow. Really digging the Sci Fi shape, 8.25 x 14.5” Lurpvis look really dope set up. I really hope they don’t just fall apart. ![image](https://uksf-media.lon1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/original/3X/4/8/488d408339bb846f17bf7762710c3f7269940fdb.jpeg) ![image](https://uksf-media.lon1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/original/3X/f/4/f45fa252c487e17d05bff062c82f149f348d48a7.jpeg) ![image](https://uksf-media.lon1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/original/3X/e/6/e6b3780c3890fe140557d290cd18aa9ded6f15f1.jpeg) ---

I haven’t run washers in trucks for the last 10 years. But I weigh a bit shy of 11 stone. Always 6 bolts, shields off bearings, no washers in trucks. ---

Are you actively weight saving or is this just setup ritual stuff? ---

Set up ritual. These Lurpivs seem heavy. I just have to have my board like that otherwise brain won’t engage. Too much time pissing around at work in the past. Anyone else do anything weird? ---

I need grip and bearings so I’ll take all the bits to Projekts tomorrow when my daughter has her lesson and set up a freshie. First one in forever. Setup wise I don’t have any real weirdnesses. I have a hard time not running risers, even if it’s just those thin phantom ones. ---

Yeah god knows. The ones I use are literally 1mm thick but it makes feel better. [Previous page](https://ukskateforum.co.uk/t/equipment-reviews-category/3246.md?page=2) [Next page](https://ukskateforum.co.uk/t/equipment-reviews-category/3246.md?page=4)
