I’ve just ordered the new Madness Sam Beckett Impact Light deck. Maybe a bit gimmicky but I like the look of it.

Got my new deck - delivered and set up today

Mate, you can’t new trucks and new deck without new wheeling too

Come on, fucks sake

Just treated myself to a set of AF1 77s, coming from a Indy 169 with a alltimers 9.25 shaped setup. Wondering what deck they will work on best? I have a Blast Gnarzone 10” on route and this Frog 9.8” shaped. Have a feeling with the taper over the back truck on the frog that the 169 might work better? Going to give new trucks a whirl with some 55mm mini super juice.


Are those the real graphics or did it get wet?

Blast Skates all day long

It’s art…. Hahaha

Yeah blast will be a corker for sure, front of the frog should take the 77s ideally, maybe I’ll accept the slight hotrod on the rear.

Anyone know what size wheel / truck nuts are? Are they M10 and M8?

Found the answer here: axles 5/16”, kingpins 3/8”

Thanks, that seems to convert to what I said from what I can find out.

I tried to get some from various hardware stores (and a combine harvester repair specialist!) here and was told they were an American thing, and were hard to find here for some reason. You’d probably better go to your local SOS.

Skate shops definitely have them, Indy used to do a pack of four and Thunder do a rebuild kit. Other options too out there too :+1:

Nah you’re talking metric am pretty sure what you’re looking for is imperial so they will look right but won’t fit properly

Got some allen key truck bolts in Singapore once and couldn’t find an allen key for years that would fit properly

But you’ve got UNF or UNC. Fine and course thread. My mini is all imperial so I’m used to not using metric

Skate shops, eBay, Amazon. You can get them anywhere

Yeah just needed like 100 of them so I’d rather get a pack from screwfix for £4 if possible, sounds like they won’t fit though

Try online using the specs in that article. £3.29 for ten

The Nut and Bolt Store, Portland Road, Hove. Your neck of the woods I believe. If they don’t have them, they don’t exist.

Eyyy I’ve never actually been in there. Good shout

Yeah that’s exactly why I tried to score some through a hardware store but couldn’t find anything that fitted skate trucks. Hopefully you’ll be luckier in Hove!
