Vlad's bearings
I've been using nothing but two pairs of these bearings for over a year now. They fit many different shields and seals from other brands and are extremely easy to clean. Long-term test results are stunning; the bearings run like new. Vlad, I didn't quite follow the thread. What bearings are you ref...

6 wheels
if the weight applied to the rear of your skateboard is applied vertically to 4 wheels rather than 2 wheels, each of the 4 wheels will have less traction, lateral coefficient of slding friction between wheels and pavement, than the same weight applied to 2 rear wheels, so that each of the 4 rear whe...

bottom bushing
just 2 b clear
when we say bottom bushing, we r looking at at the board right side up as it would be ridden, so that the top bushing is actually next to the base plate. (?)

bushings and wedging
i'm double wedged/dewedged front and back. the Khiro whites work well for me in front, they just wear down fast., but maybe i should give the inserts a go again, as I see what you mean regarding the turning geometry. I have tried blue in front and at 65 kg, didn't have much luck. As my technique imp...

Etienne or anyone reading this, I am wondering what advantage you see for the Khiro small inserts as a rear top bushing rather than the flat Khiro barrel bushing.

rear bushings
Etienne, Jani,
Thanks.
I see why the flat side is against the embase, as putting the curved side of the Radikal clear against the embase results in a rocking motion of the truck.
Happy holidays.
Bradley

OS Trucks
From Martin's first post on this topic "A truck for slalom racing made by swiss slalom racers! The offset system provides faster acceleration by direct power transmission, this means more speed and better grip! This is a rear truck only. Extra long 8mm axles for perfect bearing fit. The OS-Truck com...
airflow trucks
it worked, but only 100mm and 129mm show up as OS trucks, which I assume are the airflow trucks, and the prices only show for these hangar sizes.

Martin's custom Roes
Martin,
The dimensions sound perfect for TS and GS with the Unlimited for hybrid, but I would have thought you would want a wider board for GS. With such a narrow board, the wheels would extend out from the board, even with Grippins.
