Hey Martin , this is how your upside down Aurora looks now..........

Its safe with friend in Sydney Australia.
Tim

Tim Robinson

I have the ex Chris Bara Super Bee on the left and a friend has Atila's mini Bees on the right. Both in Sydney. Thats 3 of the 4 made I think.

Tim Robinson

Good point Wes. Why not an Ick register on this forum? Just a simple who, what and where.

Tim Robinson

Wow !! Very nice collection you have there. Can you tell us their history? Love the green one on the red zig zags! Very COOL!
Tim

Tim Robinson

Wesley , yes that is Bara's board. The other 2 are Atilla's that now belong to a fellow Sydney sider. I think there is only 1 more in the series thats hanging on 300hp Davids wall over your way somewhere.

3 B's

Rode a GOG and couldn't believe how much better it felt to my Radikals and set about changing things......extra wedging lathed stims and still not as turny as the GOG . I thought I was just getting used to these trucks and being more comfortable with running softer and softer bushings............THE...

Tim Robinson

Technically , the brightest colour to the human eye is a yellow/green (550nano meters i think??) Its half way between red and violet. BMW and Alfa with there spider back in the 1970's used that colour not just for the groove factor. Here in Aus our road markings used to be that colour for the same h...

So in reality there are only 2 trucks of pro status for the front, Racetrack - X and GOG? Without modification of course. I am leaving out Seismic, it takes a core Seismic enthusiast to ride these.

Sounds like you have the sketch pad out Greg?
Do you have access to a lathe?

Tim Robinson

Toby if you read my post I said we also still make them. I have no idea if they are metric though as I haven't been near a Holden with a spanner since about 1978. I think it is Toyota who are number 1 in Australia. I know they have 19mm wheel nuts as they fit on my Alfa I still think it's funny tha...

Tim Robinson

Thought about that but not made any more.
I'm setting up a 36inch Ick Stick. Probably with Cortech 77mm or Avilas.

Tim Robinson

No mate , do you?? I'm looking for 1 RTX 129mm. I thought there may be a few sets of Radikals going up for sale , and there are but at almost full price. I think the Fyre trucks will be the go or Geezers Sputnik if he ever builds it. I was looking at my Airflow and thinking if only somewon would mak...

Tim Robinson

Your skate tool will fit both. 1 day when you guys finally go metric you will wonder why it took you soooo long. You are so far behind ,still making gas guzzling push rod engines even! Move into this century. ok ok , thats a bit harsh...sorry My skate tool does not fit both. I know, because I tried...

Tim Robinson

Here's a random but relevant question. How wide-spread are Trackers, Indies, Radikal, Randall, Bennett (or any number of other) trucks that have SAE specs outside of the U.S.? And do you guys outside the U.S. have the trouble with them that evidently U.S. skaters have with Airflow? By the way, I ca...

Tim Robinson

I say stick to what's been working for quite a few years now. Ok, if truck companies would send me a metric skatetool with the metric trucks, I'd be happy, but they don't, so I have to get regular tools for them. Now, this is not a problem in metric Sweden, but I bet it's as difficult is the US, as...

Tim Robinson

Yes there are rubber washers under oversized stainless washers and the bolts are screwed through the deck before putting the nut on so the holes stay tight.

Tim Robinson

The no bolt look is thanks to photoshop. I only have 4 socket head cap screws in the right length , the others are only normal big round head ugly things. So i cheated for the photo and when its on my wall you can't tell the diff. Yes green NOS stims , also have some yellow ones. top bush is wrong I...

So here it is.

Tim Robinson

Adrian , what do yo guys do up there??!! It looks like the most amazing boards in Aus are in Townsville on dusty roads? You have to come to sydney for a race or better still to the Bathurst race so we can check out this quiver of yours.

Tim Robinson

Yes , your right they have nylon over the heads. It is the vintage correct thing I am looking for. Ur13 (don't know his real name ) raced Turners with this set up. I have sent him a couple of PM's but no reply.

Tim Robinson

Hey Chris , they look like CRAP!! ..................

ONLY KIDDING.

Nice deck as well!

Tim Robinson

I am setting up a Turner cutaway from the late 90's with Tracker fulltracks and nylon base plates. These have very short kingpins and I want to know 2 things , 1 ,what bushing set ups were used by people back then and 2 . can the king pin be replaced in these base plates? I have a set each of NOS ye...

Tim Robinson

Do you still have these for sale? I'm still trying to find some if anyone has any they want to sell please send me a PM

Tim Robinson

Looking for a good set of Bahne trucks if any one has a set they would like to sell please send me an PM
Tim

Tim Robinson

Marty , your keeping a "multi hundred dollar truck" in the bottom of a box?? Man.... its a skateboard truck! If you want to use it NOW I gave you a way to do that. Go and buy the most expensive one you can find if it makes you feel any better. Buy a Ti one or a cro mo one.

Tim Robinson

Marty have a look at the truck page on silverfish. A guy who is also waiting is now running a grade 8 bolt as an axle. Looks like a good idea.

Tim Robinson

Jeff you must be the lucky one!. 30 or 40 % of all entries on this Radikal section are some how related to sevice or lack of.

Tim Robinson

If you have any you want to sell please let me know.
Thanks
Tim

Tim Robinson

Got it!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you and thanks for the T shirt
Tim

Tim Robinson

Jack you must not have been getting my e-mails then because i have been asking about this for quite a while with only 1 recent e-mail from you asking If I had my truck.
Thank you for letting me know it has been posted. I look forward to its return and will let you know as soon as it does.

Tim Robinson

Jack you seem totaly incapable of replying to e-mails so I'm contacting you here. I sent you a truck with a broken kingpin in October. Why won't you let me know where it is. Is it coming back? Have you fixed it? Has it been sent? 6 MONTHS!!! COME ON I want my truck back!!!! Guys have a look at the m...

Tim Robinson

How about the .250's with 66mm zig zags?

Tim Robinson

If you can spare any please let me know.
Tim

Tim Robinson

So ........ just checking........this deck is 1 of maybe 5 made by???? in 2001 using a core shaped by bobby in about 1997 originally for the seismic turners ,and using green and black because thats all he had laying around. It was made for the "Turner Downhill" that Howard had organised. Is this cor...

Tim Robinson

Guys , thank you for so much info. I'm on the look out for some never used black turner wheels for this deck. If any one has a set they don't want. Also would a TCC rear truck be correct on this deck?
Thanks tim

Tim Robinson

Wesley , why does the date suprise you? Its my first Turner and I'm after any bit of info I can get.
Thanks Tim

Tim Robinson

Bara has given me some excellent advice but I am after everyones opinion on setting up this 1997 Turner. I want it to be true to its vintage. Trucks , wheels , risers, etc......the best that was available at the time. Any history and ideas very welcome. Thanks Tim http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f...

Tim Robinson

Well explained........ Thank you.

Tim Robinson

A stupid question but how can I tell these are small pivot?

Tim Robinson

Just giving you a bit of stick! Its a nice deck.

Tim Robinson

Looks like a Pistol

Tim Robinson

Carl thats a great bit of info you have put up there. It needs it own Page. I might try and start a PPS graphics Topic.

Tim Robinson

Don i'm sure its not hard once you have done it a few time but I think most people could not be assed with the process. I understand the cost problems. This site really is good for info but does not get the trafic that a site like the fish gets. I think Silverfish has its place and once you sort thr...

Tim Robinson

I thought there must be a reason people don't post many pics here..........Its just too hard. Shame you can't just upload a shot like the Silverfish site.

Tim Robinson

You know .......... those pics are are great way to see just what these graphics look like. I was suprised how much darker my deck was to the website graphics examples and pics are a great way to show scale. Is there anywhere we can post pics of our decks to aid each other when ordering new ones? Wh...

Tim Robinson

I always look over the trucks after every run and dismantle and clean every couple of weeks and Wipe them over after every skate. I expect these trucks will need a bit more TLC and they are so nice I don't mind one bit. I also wax my deck with a teflon boat wax but don't tell anybody !

Tim Robinson

While we wait for an answer from Mark, has anyone had a kingpin break ?? I had one go while pumping on flat ground. This is a truck thats had 6 months of mild pumping...........never raced ........never even run through cones. That was 10 days ago and my ankle still isn't better. I don't want to thi...

Tim Robinson

How often should I replace the Kingpins in my Slalom Trucks?

Tim Robinson

I had a NOS set of RR6's and they looked very very close to my Avalons , about 1mm out.
