I rode AF1’s (with stock bushings) for the last couple of years and wheel bite was something I just learned to live with. However, I’ve recently switched to Slappy ST1’s with stock bushings and they’re just as loose, turn even faster than Ace but the best thing is that wheel bite is almost none existent. A really recommend trying the Slappys because they ride very similar to Ace but they’re just better and no wheel bite.
Hahaha yeah that's what I found with Slappy trucks as well! They really are a great truck. I was looking to try out some of the Slappy Lights that just dropped but they didn't make them in my size 👎🏽
LP, I agree. I have skated in popsicle with Venture for ages but turning 42yo soon hitting mid aged man 😂 I recently changed my set up with egg shape or surf jr board with bigger and softer wheels to enjoy more cruising but still can throw some my favorite tricks as well! Best set up in my skate career. Back in 90s, we all skated in 7.75 and above 8” used to get hated! Also I selected Ace AF1 55 with hard genuine bushings and my set up is just perfect now. I was so used to with venture technical movement but this fun cruiser set up becomes better with Ace pair. Thanks for your videos, always enjoy seeing them and interesting to see other homies set ups ❤ happy skating
Sick! I love when people convert to an egg shape lol Yeah man, they really are so skateable for the bigger sizes 👌🏽 That’s sick man, glad you are finding your perfect setup 🥳 Thanks man, appreciate you heaps!
I’ve swapped the bottom with the hard ones and kept the 91 top bushings. That was still a little too squirrelly. So now i ride all my Aces with 94/94 and they are really great.
Nice! I swapped out the bushings on my Ace AF1 55 hollows for Independent 94A black bushings and they feel perfect. I still get the turning I want but with more stability for flip tricks. I also noticed that with harder bushings I don't have to crank down the kingpin nut to get the desired tightness. The stock bushings felt too squishy no matter how much I tightened the nut.
Man I've always had to switch out the ace bushings because I'm heavier but love loose trucks, the hard bushings are fantastic and It's annoying buying an extra set of bushings but luckily there fairly cheap and ace always sends quick!
i like mini logo bushings, i have them in 2 sets of indys. the hards(red) were too hard with both top and bottom, so i have mini logo tops and indy bottoms. i've never had aces so i can't say if/how they'd work with mini logo bushings, but they're a pretty standard/universal shape for like indy/venture/thunder. i'd imagine big guys do better with hard bushings, or custom/split duro setup with a softer bottom. i like med-med/tight trucks and hate wheelbite, 6'3, 225
@@LeonPaxton i like their wheels and bushings. i've not tried their trucks, but they're supposedly good if you like low trucks. their decks are good if you like flat decks from what i hear. their bearings are supposed to be identical to bones reds just cheaper. the quality has always been on point and the prices are hard to beat. it's powell/skate one, just at a price point
@@diplenskiit’s cool what skate 1 does it’s maybe not the coolest brand based on image and marketing but as for quality it’s a great brand. They are USA made too. Which is cool to me considering most skateboarding company’s are in California but made in china. 🇨🇳
Mini-Logo stuff is great, except c-shape wheels - those are garbige, absurdly soft for 100 duro. A-cut wheels are fine though. Planning to get Mini-Logo hard bushing for my other setups too. Still I think most ML is made in China.
@@taneltolsting2900 i saw a video with a guy saying his 101 duro A-cuts felt more like 90. they do also make 90 duro, so i thought maybe a mix up before printing/packaging. they do have excellent customer service in my experience, so if you reach out i'm sure they'd take care of it. i think i prefer the c-cut shape, my ml wheels are almost 20yo
I do 2 things to my aces that make them great imo. First off, my trucks made a knocking sound when turning (not the normal bushing squeak). A little lube on the outside of the pivot cup took care of that. Secondly, I run just the bottom hard bushing, normal top bushing. I still get all the turn with most of the squirrleyness dialed out
I replaced the old stock bushings on some Indy 169 (9.125") with the blue Indy 92a "medium hard" bushings and they seem a bit too hard, but I haven't broke them in yet. The new bushings were about 2 mm taller than the old bushings, I assume the old ones were just squished from use. If the don't loosen when they break-in I may dremel the slightest bit off of them.
Yeah these actually felt a bit too hard when I set them up too but they definitely wore in quick and feel perfect now 👌🏽 Hopefully yours wear in eventually too 🤞🏽
Just break em in. I skate the black hard Indy bushings a lot. They are stiff for a min but loosen up also. I never tried the blue med hard I gotta try those next.
@@max_lsl17 I'm no pro but they seem to? I got medium hardcore bones because I smashed the hell out of my ace standard bushings tightening it on first setup. I only used the top bones bushing (closer to pavement, further from board) and it already feels different. Pop, turning, etc. Still breaking them in but it feels alright. Getting wheel bite still. Gonna go ahead and get ace hards anyways and pop both those in.
I have Ace 80s and instantly had to swap out the bushings. I see absolutely not benefit to loose trucks if I'm going to wheelbite into a dead stop every time I turn hard. My Ace Classic 44's however, still have the stock bushings and they're pretty firm. I don't know if they're different bushing to the AF1's.
I love ur vids bro you skate like such a similar setup to me cept i got ace 80s and a anatomy of a wide boy egg, ima get these bushings and do the same
Thank you man 🙏🏼 Damn I really want to get my hands on that deck! I happened to get an Eggzilla 2 though so I'm super keen to set that one up next week 🙌🏼
@@LeonPaxton yeah I set mine up and stood on it. When I turned it it got wheelbite. So now I'm tripping on where to put the rails at. If positioned wrong rails can make wheelbite even worse.
I actually bent my rails so each end sits just outside of where the wheels would touch my board and then the centre of the rails still creates a platform for board slides without the actual deck touching. I took a little while to figure out but it was either that or trim down the rails to sit lower than where the wheels would touch lol
Has anyone swapped there Slappy bushing from stock to hard. Either bones hards or do slappy make hard bushing. I love the turning on my new slappy lights but they feel a little like my ace trucks felt "squarely" I've mostly had indy forged mids with hard bones. Never and issue untill the eventful lose inverted nut situation
The stock Slappy bushings are honestly pretty damn good so I don't think you would really need to swap them. Damn, maybe it would be worth trying the harder ones then 🤔
Thanks for the rapid response bro I really like the Slappy lights so far, its just the top bushing. Might try put 1 of my existing bones hards in the top and see how it feels
Greta video as always. How does the ace hard bushing set up feel in comparison to Slappies? A lot of how you describe the feeling of the hard aces (stable, less wheelbite, still very turny) sounds very similar to Slappy reviews.
Thats what i did, almost think thats what they should come with. Have you tryed the new holow slappys trucks yet? Im wanting to get some when i come across a set
They loosen up after breaking them in (maybe after one or two sessions) Also, people like Kevin "Spanky" Long use a Hard bottom with a Stock top bushing, so maybe try that ;)
Ya know, I probably didn’t give it enough time to loosen up. I didn’t know Spanky did that,…actually a great idea, I’ll try experimenting with that! Cheers
How do you like your trucks Leon in tight to loose? I like the look of Ace but I ride tight trucks and not sure if Ace trucks are suitable? Would they go tight with the hard bushings or still retain that side to side movability? Hopefully this makes sense.
Usually I like them loose but the Ace stock bushings were just too loose for me. Maybe because I'm so heavy lol They skate pretty much the samew but the harder bushings just help keep the trucks more stable for me. They still turn great 👌🏼
Hey man. Couldn't help but notice that you're riding a Pilz deck now. How does it feel compared to a Heroin? We cant get them in South Africa but can get a Pilz egg shape. Just wanted to know. P.S. I'm really digging your content bro. keep it up and I hope the ankle heals up soon!
Yeah dude it's sick! The biggest difference is that it felt a little flatter at first because it doesn't have the razor top like the Heroin eggs do and also the woodshop that Jacuzzi use have really stiff and rigid wood which feels good but there isn't much flex to their boards and I've found they chip a little easier because there is no give if that makes sense? Both companies make great egg boards 🙌🏼 Thanks dude, it's all good now!
I like Independent Forged Hollows. But their bushings aren't my favorites. Thunder makes a 100a hard truck rebuild kit that makes the Indys perfect. They're still carvy, but when you want them to be. You don't wheelbite because you shifted 5lbs of bodyweight. 😂
@LeonPaxton the forged base plate on the forged hollows and forged titanium is 53.5mm, and the standard Indy base plate is 55mm, so mine are a little less curvy than standard Indys anyway, but I don't think they lost any turning radius from the standard bushings, it just requires a little more purposeful turning. Less accidental wheelbite. They also don't stick. My truck always sits straight. I can't land totally on one side and wheelbite, pick up my board, trucks aren't stuck to one side, they return home.
@@LeonPaxton by a long shot. Thunder Truck Rebuild Kit 100a hard. Bushings are black. I don't change out the pivot cup from standard Indy. Just bushings. 🤓👍
@@LeonPaxton dang!! even with slappies? the front truck cup on mine exploded like 3 times ! i had ace send me a new pair of af1s but kept using the original hanger since it had good grooves but it kept happening! so it definitely is just the front hanger so i have a wasted pair of free af1s haha but i think im going to go buy new ones today
@@LeonPaxton sweet! I'll be looking forward to it. I'm currently riding Thunder titanium lights and have been debating on getting the slappy lights or Ace.
@@LeonPaxton I was wondering the same, Leon. I've seen a LOT of reviewers in recent months skate Slappys and say they won't go back to Ace. I needed some 9.5" trucks for a new setup and went with the Slappy ST1 Classics. I hope I like them. Looking forward to that comparison.
You're too heavy for the bushings. Get Bones 'Hard' bushings and do NOT remove the bottom boardside washer, as Bones recommends. Leave the bottom washer on or it will lower your geometry and ruin your turn.
Who else has swapped out their stock bushings for the Ace hard bushings?
I'm using the Bones Bushings Mediums and they're perfect too. I just can't get used with the stocking Aces :/
I have some 10" aces and you almost can not even skate them unless you swap the bushings to the hard bushings.
Yeah 10" trucks would feel way too wild with the standard bushings! @@monatomic
I was thinking about trying the Bones bushings as an alternative but the Ace hard bushings have been great! @@guilhermencto
🖐 Stock were way too loose for me. Love the Ace hard bushings
Harder bushings, loose-ish nut, yes sir! I've always used that configuration, no matter what the trucks are. It's just perfect!
Same here
A medium tight truck has always been the way to go.
Damn I just sold my old pair of regular AF1s because they were too loose and I mostly skate Thunders anyway, this is giving me truck madness again 😂

Aces pivot cup is hand poured and very soft which helps them turn and pinch with harder bushings.
