Well thanks cf, but the point is that everyone else can run our trucks with regular khiros without having any issues at all. It must be a worn out bushing.

Anyway Toby, if you're fine switching to other wheels, do so.

Well, as stated above: Exchange the bushing. Make clear it cannot be squeeze out the way we can see it in your first pic.

If that still doesn't solve the problem use an orange Khiro barrel + a white Bitch bushing.

Toby, HOW did you manage to get "truckbite"? The only reason why there could be contact between your wheen and the baseplate nut is that you're using screws that are too long.

If it's flat I'm out. Keep your records for yourself. I tried to explain that the ramp height and push distance are as important as an inclined venue. If I ever gonna attend a World Record attempt in flat I request a 6m starting ramp or car tow as starting method.
