Are they not constructed to be run this way?
Should I choose 66mm wheels instead?
I feel that a 70 degree setting and a dewedge kind of defeats the purpose of the truck.
Say that I'm missing something!
Edit: I have 70mm, not 7mm.

toby,i would suggest you run the trucks first before you "test" on the table.
gog's don't have aby truckbyte once they are set up properly.
truckbite has been a radikal disease and frank made that problem a thing of the past.
please skate your trucks before posting someting like this again
thank you
Donald Campbell wrote:hey robo
nothing has been changed
trust me
check the picture above again toby didn't even skate his truck
he just set it up there on a table with a bottom bushing and then he moved the hanger
around.
again:the trucks are the same as always and they react the same way as always-IF YOU SKATE THEM!

I just paid you €397 and you declare me a retard? Thanks.Donald Campbell wrote:toby,are you sure you use the correct hanger for that truck?
you know that the hngers are different,right?
Ok, Donald.Donald Campbell wrote:ok
toby
nobody ever called you a retard or even tried to bring you close to that,
you only got advice and you react pissed.
something for you to consider:
if you face a problem(taken for granted there is a REAL problem),why don't you first contact the seller of the truck(me) or the manufacturer(frank)?
posting it here is destructive because what you show in your pics doesn't work in the real world.
frank took his time today to find out how you did that and he couldn't do it,nobody has had a problem like this before.
fact is also that all trucks have the exact same dimensions and there are absolutely no exceptions to that.
your pics looks strange,especially the position of the bottom bushing,that made me wonder.
I don't know why you spend such amount of time stupifying your customers. What you just wrote is such bullshit.Donald Campbell wrote:if you feel not good using those trucks please mail them back to my address and i'll gladly reimburse you for your costs.
after all we don't want you to risk your life on a dangerous product.
your post clearly indicates that something is wrong with the trucks we make,i do not want to question your knowledge about trucks in general,you even found out that the trucks do not have the same height.
we do not know how you measured them or from where to where you took the dimensions to come to that incredible result.
we do the gog trucks sinced we love the sport and we want to contribute to the sport.
nobody needs to make a living out of it.
so please accept my humble offer to send the trucks back and get reimbursed by us.
maybe you will find something way better and safer than those dangerous wheelbite trucks we sold to you.
Anytime! It's a product I helped developing so it's also in my own interest to solve that problem im order to improve the product - if there is really something about it.Toby Warg wrote:I thought that maybe some nice person would take his/her time to answer, and Ramón did. Actually, Ramón has helped me. Thanks again for that, Ramón! I'll try your advice. It seems plausible.
What kind/stage of trucks does he have? Is it the unadjustable one?Toby Warg wrote: While typing your answers, you seem to have missed the fact that Robo also can get truckbite. Are we both living in the fake world?
First of all, I had no idea that this was an old problem and that you worked hard to get rid of it. I have never heard of it until now.Ramón Königshausen wrote:On a sidenote, I can understand Donald's reaction a bit because there are so many trucks at many different boards out there and this is the first case we heard of that this - what we thought to have eliminated - is still possible, somehow. However, neither me nor Frank have succeded in making 70mm Wheels touch the nut at the baseplate. So it's hard to understand how this can be possible. So you start thinking about what your customer (in this case it's you) could have done wrong. (And because - I tried it 3 times in many different angles and the softest bushings I got - it is so hard to understand one must come to think about such things like not using a top bushing etc.)
One last tip/request: If you could post a proper sideview picture of the truck it could be helpful...

I am now bending over and preparing for the punishment.robert gaisek wrote:I really don´t know..........but it´s a fact. I will also put in a pic when I come home tonight.
I don´t know how old mine is ( I bought Henke´s when he got the adjustables) but I don´t think it is very old.
Well, I did manage to reproduce it with brand new bushings...Ramón Königshausen wrote: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.
