I know this is a long shot, perhaps the longest, but hey, its worth a shot. Title says it all, I've got the cash to back it up.

how big is a "dh" axle?

Makes the truck about 180mm from what I understand from this post: http://www.slalomskateboarder.com/phpBB ... highlight=

I can only assume these are what most people refer to as 'dh axles'. So far, I know of three people who own them, but I haven't had any luck finding anyone to sell them. Oh well.

good luck man.....i've never seen any axles other than the sizes i gave you with that truck. I have seen a narrower hanger, but only one that Vlad had...
But shit, i used those wide axles on GS, you'd never need any wider than that would ya?

I've got the axles for the described 178mm. They are only compatible with the black r2 version. Doesn't seem like they would be that hard to have made.

That last statement makes it sound like they aren't for sale... I guess I will be contacting Geezer X sooner rather than later.

MB,

What I would do for you is send my axles to Geezer if you somehow convince him to make you the axles. But you only have one truck, right? What are you going to match it up with.

hey Mike, there's something else to consider here. when you put wider axles on and spread those wheels apart, your going to give that back truck allot more life. The bushing wont be able to lock down as it will with shorter axles...it's going to drastically change the performance of that truck

That is an interesting thought, Bara. I guess I am just going to get the most out of this truck, considering it costs as much as one of my set ups. Besides, you never know until you try.

Joe I: as always, I will be in touch.
