My trucks are going to be neat, super light, fairly costly however.
The will feature a huge inward offset of 12mm or nearly half an inch (.47"}
Narrow probably 168mmI might go as large as 170 or 164-170 havent decided yet.

True 50 or 45 degrees. trucks are trued by weight. if you weight over 175pounds you have a different pivot cup then a person weighing under 175.

10mm axle made of aluminum. I've tested them for one full year and it outlasted the rest of my gear. I will have the superfluous material removed rom the center (hollow axle}
The truck will have many holes and fancy honeycomb shapes machined into them.
the space between the pivot and the kingpin will be 1.25 inches.
The axles will be fixed by a special patent pending method that locks them in permanently.
It uses very high quality threads on it, normal nuts will be to crude o use on these trucks. harhar!
Machined in a temperature corrected room to be within 1 thousanth of an inch accurate!
again, harhar!

Designed to fit my next revision of push deck from rayne like a glove.
75mm wheels max!

Made custom by SGS racing.
My pro-model and a concept truck for the geometry materials and machining used.
Hopefully the lightest through kin pin trucks ever.
hopefully the lightest ever period.
However I will use mine with JIMZ bushings in the base of the rear.

Paul, with all this precision stuff does it mean you're not going to use the "rattling bearings" criteria anymore? I sorta liked that we had that in common!! Very Happy

PW, it looks like you're riding one of those setups backwards. Cool

hahaha.

Well it is my truck, so I could have the precise angle at which bearings rattle the most worked into the design!

My pushing setup ind of evolved in an interesting way, I built this deck specifically for bombing garages and learning to slide:

It has a little wedge in the front and a nice low stance. Great fun in the garage, comfortable in a tuck, and easy to slide, unfortunately the deep concave was hell on my back foot over long distances and the four ply construction is way too stiff for comfort. As I started using the deck more for getting around it became more apparent that I needed a replacement.

This is that replacement:

It's only three plys of bamboo, the middle layer running bias, a layer of 5.7oz 2x2 twill CF top and bottom, and a partial walnut stringer to strengthen the nose and tail. It has the same drop as the other deck but a more shallow concave and much wider platform. The slightly softer flex is far more comfortable over the long haul and actually a lot more responsive in the garages too. The complete weighs 9.63 lbs built up with Paris 180s, Reds, and O-tang In Heats.

Dervish, 180s, was rockin InHeats, but put some Durians on there and I'll be testing out some lemon big zigs on there soon. Bottom is newspaper clippings and vintage X-men comics covered in clear-coat that a local artist by the name of Mike Graves mustered up for me.

thanks both. i love that board. no cable stealers that i know of. someone ran a really ghetto security camera on the outside of our apartment building. i think it's just for show and doesn't even work.
