gullwing sidewinders issue

[senkakureiken]

I just got my board put together with the aforementioned trucks, and when I ride the truck seems to "stick" on the last side I leaned on. I still have stock bushings/pivot cup, should I invest in new stuffs or will they "break in"?

change bushings. Get flat washers

If you ride em for a bit it should get better. But not entirely, that's just kinda the way sidewinders are...

i just got the same trucks and have the same problem

so i am getting standard venom bushings (they come with their own washers) to replace the stock ones

those trucks suck. period. try putting some silicone spray or wd-40 on your bushings. it should loosen em up alittle.

Just a note:

The small top bushings on each kingpin of sidewinders cannot be switched out, because they are much smaller than any other bushings (that I've seen). However if you were to buy two sets of super carve venoms you could put a venom cone on each kingpin. And Venoms on sidewinders are pretty sick, that's what I have on mine...

Don't Use Wd 40 On Your Board

i think WD-40 is cool on bushings, right? just not on bearings.

It might actually degrade the urethane. I don't know that though. In general you'd be better off if you just steer clear of it.

I replaced my bushing and it fixed the problem, thanks for the responses.
