 Posted: Thu Sep 10, 2009 6:30 pm Post subject: Grennett truck inverted king pin |
 |
|
John and I have been working on this for a year. Thanks for the help John. The Grennett is bringing the Bennett back to 1977. The inverted king pin makes the truck not hang up or stop on things anymore. Chris Yandall and I are the vary first to have this set up. I have two more orders to build these trucks. If you have a front truck and want me to make it into a Grennett . please email me at thane@griffinskateboards.com
Thanks

Stock king pin. Dead Bolt 55mm tall and the grind king insert nut.
I just talked to the person who started the Dead Bolts at ASR and found out that these are grade 8's.

Got my Grennett.
Kingpin still hangs below the axle but it does not seem like a hook now.
Thanks Thane! |

Looks good.
Is that 15 degrees + Khiro soft wedge you've got up front? |

I like the set up!! Tell me what you think about the ride now?
Is it a change from how you had it before?
For me it was like night and day!!
Just happy to have one more out there.
Thanks

Feels good. The Pulse with 6.0's really shines IMO. I had been using the Virages on it and there is a coming home feeling with the Bennett.N The polished pivot is butter.
