Yeh grind king ones had a plastic shield that went on the bearing nearest the axle then the but had a flange that would cover the outer bearing. Silver trucks when I had a set had a sort of nut cover on them. Like a dome nut essentially ---

Anyone tried those Real wooden risers? Any noticeable difference from normal risers? ---

Nah but I’ve wanted to for ages, just can’t find them here as the local DLX distro is rubbish. Let me know how they are if you get your hands on a set. They look pretty dope. ---

I think they must have produced a whole load recently as they’ve reappeared in skate shops in the last week or so here in Australia. ---

Looks like those weird Grind King trucks are about to be released. For what it’s worth I think they’re ugly as anything- especially the orange ones - but the design thinking is interesting. Things like the adjustable wheelbase, the load-spreading baseplate and the anti-shear kingpin sleeve make sense. > **[GrindKing](https://www.grindking.com/)** > > GrindKing ---

i quite like the idea of being able to adjust your own wheelbase. it’d be useful for testing the difference it makes to you as a human. on the other hand i hate everything about these ---

> [@nazoreth](#): > > i quite like the idea of being able to adjust your own wheelbase. It sounds good on paper but I’d hate having that option, I’d never know what I prefer. Not into the idea of the grooves on the hanger either, I _love_ making my own grooves, plus when I’m doing a 5-0 or a nosegrind I lock in with the wheel on the edge of the ledge. Locking in differently, with those grooves, would get me off-balance I suppose, and as @Mark said, looks are everything. What do I know though? I’m not even a freestyler. 🤭 ---

Surley moving the trucks in will add more leverage and pressure on the deck. Leading to snapping the tail like a well oiled snail. ---
