@@skate-horizons hey thanks Michael, yeah I think 100mm wheels are quite tough for a lot of riders. 90mm is a good size for most use cases…. Really glad there are more high performing wheels in this size now.

@@omni100won thanks for watching!

@@krishnansrinivasan830 in my video there’s some wheel lift on the rear tail as my bushings were setup for Seismic Megawatts. It’s lifts especially when pumping at slower speeds, but I usually push up to a cruising speed then pump so it’s not much of an issue. Plus I was a little too lazy to change my bushings 😂

@@ldpzuerich we had quite a bit of feedback here in Singapore where the weather is really hot and summer all year round that made the Mc fly’s too gummy. I heard it got fixed with the pros.

@@nickamarit it’s snug, no freeplay

@@tangohotellima1895 you can check out the video link in the comments, but yes it’s packing the bearings with waterproof grease.

@@distracted_diner-iq2gn Thank you!

My question too. If i remember right, Paul Kent used marine grease on his bearings to keep the wet out. Seems that this type of grease sticks to metal. Maybe some call it lithium grease. Myself, i use the deOxit brand of grease. Not sure if it works well tho, because i don't skate in the wet, much. My local shop (shoutout:Thanelife) recommended gbomb bearings (the cheaper steel ones will do). Apparently, these are pretty rust-resistant.

@@tangohotellima1895 I’ve used the grease recommended by Paul, it’s easy to get on Amazon. Regardless of what manufacturer you get your bearings from, you will definitely face rust issues especially after a crazy wet skate.

Hey the rear bracket is a 30cm 10 deg drop fork that you can get from LEPSK8. To match the crusader i use about 8mm of stacked risers for the truck + 3° dewedge on the deck.

@@liaoliao8092 yes. The fork is a 10° one

@@distracted_diner-iq2gn Got it, Great video and useful information, keep up the good work!

@@Nicklongboardz night and day. Unrestricted & smooth is best way to describe them.

@@Raimond922 you can ask Lena on IG 😂

Hey thanks. It’s not an issue for my setup, I do have my bushings set on the stiffer side for the rear. Plus the 12mm rake does provide some centre as well. The low ride height definitely helps too.

@@distracted_diner-iq2gn Thanks for the answer. What is the main advantage of dual kingpin front truck compare to dual pivot truck?

@@reugen87 you can check out the RKP video I did on the scythe reaper. But in sum, there is zero slop with it being a 1 degree of freedom design, for pumping it gives a very unrestricted feel unlike traditional RKPs.

Thanks !

I would say > 130, 135mm is probably safe to avoid fork bite with most large wheels. But my go to for RKP is 145 to 150mm

@@distracted_diner-iq2gn Fair, I’ve been running 135 F / 125 R with Karmas and it works quite well. Perhaps a video on why you like the wider widths :)

@@luvinfunvan haha it probably won’t warrant a video on its own. Based on my tinkering, and some others , wider widths seem to allow a higher top speed for pumping, at the cost of ease. Of course I can compensate it with softer bushings. Personally my main concern is clearing the fork and board from wheelbite esp when RKP trucks place the axles a lot closer to the board than TKP trucks. Hope this helps 😂

I thought that, but it isn't that bad compared to a "regular" rkp with a spherical in the hanger. Exiles are good, never tried mine with a kore insert in place of the spherical, I changed 2 kingpins in 2 years and never snapped one!

@@cgvisuals8565 I’ve got two scythe trucks and the no bushing board side is not an issue that overrides the benefits. Exile is a poppy style truck which has seen kingpin breakages here, so I didn’t cover it as it didn’t fit my criteria.
