> [@BvS](#): > > With Aces, I find myself tightening or loosening them after every run, I just canā€™t figure out how to have them. The turn is amazing, and the ride feels really nice, but I really struggle to skate on very loose trucks, so itā€™s not making actual tricks easy. But if I tighten them to how Iā€™d usually like them, they have this really weird feeling like I can feel the kingpin through the deck - itā€™s very odd and not at all comfortable. If theyā€™re too loose, try hard Bones bushings. Iā€™m the same as your and canā€™t skate loose trucks at all, but canā€™t be dealing with ticktackng every time either. It seems to work for me anyway. ---

Thanks Iā€™ll give that a go. I donā€™t think ive ever ridden anything other than stock bushings, Iā€™ve definitely never changed bushings on trucks before ---

My one worry about the Lurpivs was the high kingpin, with less grind clearance than some other trucks, but now that Iā€™ve used them itā€™s not a problem ![IMG_3209](https://uksf-media.lon1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/original/3X/e/e/eeabc080dbb3a65571aa16d59eb0d43dacda6503.jpeg) ---

> [@franc](#): > > The last two sets of Indy 149 Hollows I got are weird, the pivot doesnā€™t sit very well in the pivot cup, it actually slightly floats in there. I tried to put Riptide pivot cups instead of the Indy one that came with the trucks but that didnā€™t change much. Itā€™s not that bad, doesnā€™t affect my skating to be honest but it makes my setups sound like department store boards which drives me mad. > Quality control issues since Indy has moved production to China according to Slap, something to do with the mold for the hanger not being right. Using Ace AF1 pivot cups apparently solves the problem. Ordered a set, getting them on Friday, letā€™s see how this goes. Had 2 skates with Ace AF1 pivot cups in my 149 Hollows that had a pivot issue. The new pivot cups do solve 98% of the problem and do feel better. Try that if you have similar issues with your Indys. ---

Decided to pre-empt the trend of smaller boards and planning to setup a new 8.5 board. Ordered some Slappy lights as a first step. ---
