10mm trucks

Bookworm · 07-09-2009, 03:32 PM

I'm lovin my new evo, and it's been performing great, even where it's not supposed to (see: ditch). My problem is that I'm getting tons of railbite dropping in off the lip of my ditch, and have to approach at a crazy angle. I'm planning on getting larger wheels+ 1/8" risers to compensate, but since I'm getting plenty big wheels (83mm+) I'm thinking that I may want to upgrade to 10mm trucks (I've got more decks than trucks ATM) for the evo. Is there anyone who makes a set of 10mm axles besides bear who's not precision?

nope
But 10mm trucks won't fix your problem,it's your approach

I think bear is your only option. That or get a different board for ditch skating.

I think he is just getting 10mm to prevent bending his axles with the bigger wheels he is getting.

I concur
top mount for the ditches

Ironically I have a fine board for ditch skating. but the evo feels more comfortable there. It's a big deep ditch so my topmount cruiser feels a lot less stable than the evo.

Randal makes the Comp•II & Luge Line which offers 10mm axles but I don't know if it's what your looking for.

You don't need 10mm axles. I have 8mm axles on my street luge and I run 83, 90, 90+ mm wheels just fine and never a bend. And yes it gets sideways... 8mm Randals have always held up fine.
You can use massive riser on an Evo and still have a perfectly comfy ride... Doesn't defeat the purpose, if it's letting you do what you want.
