I have a set of navigators that i never use, but i got jacked so i have to use them. Whenever I do a powerslide, the rear right nut comes off after a couple of times. (Almost lost a wheel dudes, It sucks!)
Just replace the nut. The nylon retaining collar inside the nut is worn out. You can get them at skate shops or many hardware stores. Replace all of them at once to be sure the other ones won;t come off.
ive had these skateboard trucks for 2 years but barely used them. they squeak when i lean from side to side
It's pretty common for trucks to squeak. It;s just the bushings rubbing against the metal on the trucks. It usually goes away in warmer weather. You can try powdered graphite on all the contact areas, or replace the bushings. It won;t hurt the bushings or the trucks to have them squeak. Most people get used to the squeaking and don't notice it after a while.
Are they heavy and do they break easily?
lol 3rd time i have answers your question i don't really like independents i think they are too heavy i would get tensors or destructos, destructos are tough and not that heavy, but tensors are light and sort of tough so it depends if your gonna be really agressive and lots of grinds and lots of force tricks i'd get the destructos cuz they are tough i know i have em and if your sort of like not hardcore not lots of tricks get the tensors
today i was riding my skateboard fast down hill. i did not do anything. no kick flips, no grinds, not even an ollie. i got home, looked at the bottom, and what do you know?! one of my trucks has a huge crack! now i got these about a month ago, peril trucks. never heard of it, but they were $40. does anyone know if they would replace them, or if not, what kind of trucks should i get? im looking at element since i know its a good company..
well first off if u never heard of a company its usually not a good idea to buy it. i suggest going to there website or the store u bought em from and ask just make sure u tell them that they cracked on there own, or that they came that way. independents are very strong trucks but like the other dude said there pretty heavy, tensor makes some strong, light trucks by using more magnesium than usual so they can take off extra weight without sacrificing strength and the magnesium is harder to bend, krux is also another good company but as for element its really just a mainstream company beginners buy because they see it everywhere on clothing. you should get a truck by a company that specializes in making trucks because if the company is only working on one part then all the effort is put into it and makes it much better.
will it corrode them? I have apair of plain old indies and wanna spice em up. Idc if it will scratch off I have a billion sharpies but is it ok to sharpie trucks?
it wont affect them. if you want good colors though paint markers are better for stuff liek this
I need to order trucks for my new skateboard but I really don't know which ones I should get. I have a 7.5 Bummer High. Please give me some suggestions and why. Thanks.
try independent stage 10's(indy lights)
they are strong just likst any other independent truck, light as hell, durable and super smooth:)
they are the only trucks that i use:p
definantly think about them:p
are 5.0 trucks to big or to small if so what size whould i get ?
on a 7.75, either get 7.0 or 7.5 (if they have 7.75 thats even better) try to get them to be as close to the board width as possible.
i got a pair of frontage trucks there not very popular but there a great skate truck. fast light and they turn good. aslo pretty strong. iv had thm for about 5 mounths so there broke in. but they squeak soooooooo loud!!!! ever time i turn it makes the loudest most anoying squeak. how do i stop it from doing that without ruining my trucks?
try white lithium greese on the bushings or do the wd-40 thing but once it wears off you'll have squeek again, tighten them up a little bit to break them in even better than you already have them. If nothing works then you'll need to replace them with softer trucks like doh-dohs. 5 months is not broke in, unless you skated for hours every single day, trucks can last a long time so can the squeek, some people have trucks that have been squeeking for 2 years and they just replaced the bushing and it stopped. It could also be the pivot cup, may need to replace it all, can replace the cups and bushing for around $10 and have none squeeky trucks or just live with it.
I want low trucks and are about 1 and a quarter inch of the deck
Tensor lows
