thanks man. ive been riding the same s8's on a custom board for 2 years and never got around to cleaning them XD should have seen the mess. they look beautiful again
Thanks for the tutorial. Really great. I have a problem with my original truck. When leaning to one side it has no point of return, it is leaning towards that side; right or left side. Query. How is it lubricated with grease? Regards from Buenos Aires
So i have yet to find the actual tube of white lithium grease, but my dad found a spray version of white lithium grease. I assumed by what you guys have consistantly said about not using the spray stuff you meant things like W-D40 or McLube, is this spray litium grease safe to use or do i have to go back to using hand lotion again?
What kind of maintenance is needed on these trucks? If you say cleaning or lubing/greasing please specify, which part needs to be specifically used. Thanks
man, this helped me so much, thanks. i have a question though. what do you suggest a person does to keep their trucks and their board in general up to shape, ya know? like a regular routine maintenance thing, what do you suggest i do??
I just got mine s8 trucks , and installed withe springs ,not so happy with the trucks but they are not too bad as well .. I had to try them ... Now gotta buy some calibers 50 mm to try both...
thanks, that's great advice. what do you suggest i clean it with and grease it with? anything in particular? I'm new at the whole taking care of a longboard thing, so i wanna try and do everything perfect to keep my longboard running super smooth. btw, is there anything you can do with the wheels to make them run smoother???
Is it possible that the guys at original can do i video on the the difference in how the different tension springs work and ride on each truck size i think that would be really fundamental i have the black and red springs and ive only tried the black and red spring on my s8 trucks i havent tried the red on my s10 trucks yet and ive just purchased the white tension spring monday and it should be here tomorrow hopefully but a vido on that would be perfect
Hi dude, great video. I just got my 40" pintail with white springs and I'd like to know what is the best spring color to do some aggressive carves.. aloha!
I have an Apex 37, love it to pieces, but with the truck attached to the board i can't get my wavcam out after i take out the kingpin. do i need to detach the truck from the board in order to disassemble the truck? thanks!
@FR2T sorry this is a dumb question but, am I suppose to clean the washers and the tension spring with the white lithium grease?? Or do I just take all the ditry stuff off them with something else?? please reply thanks
so my king pen is really greasy with this black stuff. in fact all my parts are greasy with black stuff. i noticed in your vid yours are totally clean, should i clean mine?
Does the tension springs work the same way as the bushing in 'normal' trucks? And also: how can you fix that squeaky sound on the original s-series trucks? Thank you!
Hello Original, Lets say if you ride really roughly on your new Apex 37. How often would you have to grease the wavecams if you don't want them to brake? How often do you usually replace your wavecams? Thanks!
My lock tab moves back and forth when I put it around the same tightness you used, I don't want to tighten it till it doesn't wobble because I don't want my wavecams to break, what do you recommend?
Hey Orignal, i recently got a board from you guys and My trucks fell apart while i was riding it, i am missing the wavecams, locktab, and kingpin nut, where could i find a kingpin nut or locktab?
silly question of me, i just got a landyachtz bamboo bored, and i was just wondering how important washers are, 3 wheels on my hangers have them except for the front right, so i was just wondering if it matter'd if you had all of them?
hey so do I put the white lithium grece (I dont know if I spelled it right) all over the wave cams to clean them? and also am I suppose to clean something else witht the white lethium grece, like maybe the washers or the tension spring?? PLEASE REPLY THANKS
sarie dep Hey Sarie, Tension Springs are for Original trucks only, but choosing a different color (black, red, white) can help you adjust the amount of resistance that your Original trucks generate for carving etc.
ok thanks :) How much the pair of Original trucks, the 200mm one? and also there is a possible that can be deliver here in the philippines? just wondering...
I have an apex 37 with 8mm trucks, and the wave cams on each trucks are cracked, and the trucks are kind of wobbly. If i get new wave cams will that go away? Where can i get them? Please answer!
Hey im having an issue with my board. When i tighten the kingpin on the trucks it constantly gets more loose as i ride and i have checked the cams and they are perfectly in tact. how tight should i have the kingpin on? maybe the problem is that its too loosely tightened
origanal trucks are awesome, spring weight also depends on the board, if your running s10s with a wide board, youll get alot more leverage over the truck. im 5,10 160lbs and i ride whites because i ride a very wide board
I have a question. Whenever I tighten the kingpin, I can never get them to stay centered without it "wobbling" untill its flush with the metal. I don't want my wavecams breaking. In here he says he leaves it like 1/4th sticking out but thats waaay lose. Is there something wrong with my springs? The wave cams are intact.
Actually the reassembling goes faster if you slightly change the sequence of putting the parts back. Spring on hanger. Hanger with spring in baseplate. Then fit the big ring with small diameter hole. Then fit in both wavecams at once. At last insert the kingpin and fasten the nut.
when i reassemble i have a rattle when i right... i tightened but then the trucks didnt move as much as when i first got it.. did i reassemble wrong or is it going to rattle the more i ride.. and another question is how to i get the truck off without ruining the deck? any help would be awesome
Hi I'm a original supporter I bought just recently a apex 37 and I was just wondering of u need spaces for the s series 200mm trucks with bones red bearings and loaded orangatang durian purple wheels
My apologies, but those are compression springs not tension spring! I am new into long-boarding I am still deciding between putting together a long-board or buy a complete set. I would like to know what is the advantage of your trucks vs a regular revers-kingpin truck.?
Ive been riding my original old apex 37 with S8's and my trucks broke. like i did a bigspin and when i landed the metal peice literally just fell off. Like the whole metal peice just snapped off covering the wavecam. Should i be doing anything about this. Is it in warranty or??
@originalhowto please help i have original s6 trucks and i disassembled and reassembled them yesterday to clean them and i cleaned the wavecams with wd-40 and now they squeek really badly. The trucks still work great but its really annoying how they squeek. is there anyway i can fix this?
@thuggin618 Yes it will. Or your wavecams MIGHT be broken, but probably not, since you've only had the board for two weeks. If you favor one side while carving, the lube can move itself over to the other side and cause squeaking. Just take the wavecams out and put white lithium grease all over them. That should fix the problem.
thanks man. ive been riding the same s8's on a custom board for 2 years and never got around to cleaning them XD should have seen the mess. they look beautiful again
Thank you I have been looking for a tutorial for these type of swing trucks for so long
Thanks for the help, love your boards
aren't you guys making more, because these help a lot
thanks for posting this. my s10's just started making a horrible squeaking noise from so much dust building up in there. off to tear them apart.
Kinda surprised these are still around might have to try them out sometime. Not as expensive as I thought either
We do have boards that use bigger bolts but you don't have to redrill holes on your board, just use regular hardware.
Alright thanks! hopefully it will fix.. is there any specific nut i should be looking for or what?
Thanks for the tutorial. Really great. I have a problem with my original truck. When leaning to one side it has no point of return, it is leaning towards that side; right or left side. Query. How is it lubricated with grease? Regards from Buenos Aires
Can these be used on a top mounted through style board like a Magneto Hana Cruiser? I had these on an old pin tail I owned and were awesome.
Do you have to tack the whole trucks apart to put the white lithium grease on the wave cams or can you just spray it in there?
I know you recommend using white lithium grease to lube your trucks, do you think that vasaline would work well untill i can get some.
So i have yet to find the actual tube of white lithium grease, but my dad found a spray version of white lithium grease. I assumed by what you guys have consistantly said about not using the spray stuff you meant things like W-D40 or McLube, is this spray litium grease safe to use or do i have to go back to using hand lotion again?

Is there a certain reason to have spring trucks or is it just personal preference whether or not to have them?
If you use your board about every weekend how often do you need to dissemble your trucks and clean them?
Should I put the white lithium grease back on the wavecam every time I clean my trucks?
And is that the only thing it goes on?
@FR2T sorry this is a dumb question but, am I suppose to clean the washers and the tension spring with the white lithium grease?? Or do I just take all the ditry stuff off them with something else??
please reply thanks
so my king pen is really greasy with this black stuff. in fact all my parts are greasy with black stuff. i noticed in your vid yours are totally clean, should i clean mine?
do all the trucks have different turning radius/resistance or do the springs control that
Does the tension springs work the same way as the bushing in 'normal' trucks?
And also: how can you fix that squeaky sound on the original s-series trucks?
Thank you!
Depending on how much you ride and where you ride, it can vary from about every week to like a couple of times a year.
Agree with Fredpik, you have nice eyes! x You should be in more shows :)
xx
Hello Original,
Lets say if you ride really roughly on your new Apex 37. How often would you have to grease the wavecams if you don't want them to brake? How often do you usually replace your wavecams?
Thanks!
My lock tab moves back and forth when I put it around the same tightness you used, I don't want to tighten it till it doesn't wobble because I don't want my wavecams to break, what do you recommend?
I hear overtime the trucks will get lots of speed wobbles. Is this true? And something about removing the washers to prevent these speed wobbles
what are the stock tension springs on the boards? are they all the same or does it vary from board to board?
can i do this without removing the truck from the board?
How do I loosen my truck from my 40 pintail longboard? I didn't think it'd be that hard to try loosening it
His eyes have an amazing color...
Hey Orignal, i recently got a board from you guys and My trucks fell apart while i was riding it, i am missing the wavecams, locktab, and kingpin nut, where could i find a kingpin nut or locktab?
silly question of me, i just got a landyachtz bamboo bored, and i was just wondering how important washers are, 3 wheels on my hangers have them except for the front right, so i was just wondering if it matter'd if you had all of them?
hey so do I put the white lithium grece (I dont know if I spelled it right) all over the wave cams to clean them? and also am I suppose to clean something else witht the white lethium grece, like maybe the washers or the tension spring??
PLEASE REPLY THANKS
joel, Are the tension spring can be put in any type of tracks?
sarie dep Hey Sarie,
Tension Springs are for Original trucks only, but choosing a different color (black, red, white) can help you adjust the amount of resistance that your Original trucks generate for carving etc.
ok thanks :) How much the pair of Original trucks, the 200mm one? and also there is a possible that can be deliver here in the philippines? just wondering...
+Longboards by Original Skateboards can you put these trucks on a drop through deck?
How tight can you tighten the truck before the wavecams break?
What is the difference between the springs what makes the long board an improvement?
@originalhowto where do you buy the springs from or do they come with all the boards?
I have an apex 37 with 8mm trucks, and the wave cams on each trucks are cracked, and the trucks are kind of wobbly. If i get new wave cams will that go away? Where can i get them? Please answer!
If the whole thing is muddy is and greasy can you Wash it with hot water, dry it and then lube it with WLG?
Do all longboard trucks have the same dimension base plate? If so what are they?
how often should you maintain your components?
can we use any type of grease? suggestions - price - opinion?
Which spring is the best for downhill but can still be pretty turny?
when i buy the trucks off the website do they come with the raisers?
Hey originalhowto , have guys done any improvement to the trucks lately ?? A lot of people complaint about the trucks break easily ..
will those springs work on venture trucks?
Hey im having an issue with my board. When i tighten the kingpin on the trucks it constantly gets more loose as i ride and i have checked the cams and they are perfectly in tact. how tight should i have the kingpin on? maybe the problem is that its too loosely tightened
i wieght around 90kg, wich springs would you recomend? the red, the white or black ones?
Really good video Original S# trucks. I'd keep the background music down a notch next time though.
fair enough, thanks much. And don't worry, i found the stuff i need, now i just have to wait for all this damn snow to melt
when will the apex 34 be available.
right now it is out of stock i really want to get one.
Could you guys do a sliding tutorial?
origanal trucks are awesome, spring weight also depends on the board, if your running s10s with a wide board, youll get alot more leverage over the truck.
im 5,10 160lbs and i ride whites because i ride a very wide board
Hey original. Can i drop these trucks on a drop through board?
I have a question. Whenever I tighten the kingpin, I can never get them to stay centered without it "wobbling" untill its flush with the metal. I don't want my wavecams breaking. In here he says he leaves it like 1/4th sticking out but thats waaay lose. Is there something wrong with my springs? The wave cams are intact.
can i get all the dirty grease and stuff of my wavecams with acetone? i cant get the dirty grease off any other way.
Actually the reassembling goes faster if you slightly change the sequence of putting the parts back.
Spring on hanger.
Hanger with spring in baseplate.
Then fit the big ring with small diameter hole.
Then fit in both wavecams at once.
At last insert the kingpin and fasten the nut.
whats white lethium grease and where can u buy it?
how easy are these to learn? cuz they look easier than a regular skateboard
when i reassemble i have a rattle when i right... i tightened but then the trucks didnt move as much as when i first got it.. did i reassemble wrong or is it going to rattle the more i ride.. and another question is how to i get the truck off without ruining the deck? any help would be awesome
how often should u grease the trucks?
dose this also work fer skate boarding trux as well
@Endlessdonut97 hey does the white lithium grease take the grasy stuff out of the wavecams??
please reply THANKS
how do you remove the trucks from the board? the nuts are weird will i be able to get them back on once there off
I noticed that the washers were lubed as well. Which is a good thing! However you never mentioned that in the video... :
Yo original, both my wavecams snapped, id like to replace them but i live in Argentina. Do you guys ship parts outside of the states??
Hi I'm a original supporter I bought just recently a apex 37 and I was just wondering of u need spaces for the s series 200mm trucks with bones red bearings and loaded orangatang durian purple wheels
you said that you had to lube the wavecams with White Lithiumgrease. i could only find Lithium grease. There is no difference more than color right?
Will this truck fit a drop thru board?
Is it possible to order for instance a pintail 40" from your page and choose bushing trucks instead?
Yo original both my wavecams snapped and id like to replace them but i live in argentina. Do you guys ship parts outide of the states
My apologies, but those are compression springs not tension spring! I am new into long-boarding I am still deciding between putting together a long-board or buy a complete set. I would like to know what is the advantage of your trucks vs a regular revers-kingpin truck.?
U guys should do a video on wheels
is it possible to just change the hanger?
is randal good trucks? and whats best between paris and randal ??
Needed this 👌
does the apex 34 come with spring loaded trucks?
which truck either the s6, s8, or s10, turns the sharpest?
would these trucks be any good on a dervish?
Everyone's saying the bolts are wider and you have to drill new holes on your board because they're bigger, is this true?
how heavy is s8 ? because i realised it makes the entire board heavier which contradicts to what they say that apex is actually one of the lightest...
Ive been riding my original old apex 37 with S8's and my trucks broke. like i did a bigspin and when i landed the metal peice literally just fell off. Like the whole metal peice just snapped off covering the wavecam. Should i be doing anything about this. Is it in warranty or??
@owenhowardscott Why wouldn't pray be good for it? I've used spray and it has worked perfectly...
can you mount these on any board?
where can I get a longboard adjustment key? I may have had one that came with my board, but I have misplaced it...
@originalhowto please help i have original s6 trucks and i disassembled and reassembled them yesterday to clean them and i cleaned the wavecams with wd-40 and now they squeek really badly. The trucks still work great but its really annoying how they squeek. is there anyway i can fix this?
I have lithium grease for the trucks but is that different from WHITE lithium grease?
can these trucks be top mounted I have a sector 9 puntalobos
can these be mounted to a drop through board? other then the apex 37
What happens if my trucks keep getting loose on their on? I tighten and after one skate the tensioners are rattling.
how important is the top (smaller diameter) washer???
whats the difference in the springs?
@thuggin618 Yes it will. Or your wavecams MIGHT be broken, but probably not, since you've only had the board for two weeks. If you favor one side while carving, the lube can move itself over to the other side and cause squeaking. Just take the wavecams out and put white lithium grease all over them. That should fix the problem.
Can I put these on the original drop Freeride 41?
