X-Pivot Truck

In Stock! There may be some minor shipping delays for bushing customization or smaller parts, depending on exactly what you order and when. I'll let you know and keep you updated.

V2 Update: The pivot pin is no longer fixed into the axle during assembly with a set screw. The pivot pin is now a captive 5/16 AN bolt with nyloc nut. The axle thread length has been reduced a little bit and all three nuts are fine pitch 5/16-24.

SPECS:
Available in 55 and 20 degree baseplates.
Ultra-light weight (<300g) and soooo low!
Ultra-low friction, 1 DOF pivot, no metal on metal contact!
Axle width adjustable between 127-150 mm.
Zero rake means effortless pump initiation and easier mongo steering. Adequate pushing stability results from using Krank in the rear with a bit more pre-tension than the front truck.
The pumping feel is infinitely adjustable with changes to duro, pre-tension, washer shape, wedging, and rear truck reversal.
Ride height can be fine tuned to exactly what you want using risers:
YOU WILL NEED 1.5 INCHES OF RISERS TO GET TO NORMAL TRUCK HEIGHT. 1" IF TOP MOUNTED ON A DROP THROUGH. Most people use a lot less than that to get low with big wheels!

SAFETY:
No kingpin to break! The pivot pin is blocked by the deck from falling out even if the nut falls off.

MATERIALS:
Body is 7075 T6 Aluminum.
Axle is heat treated and shot peened 17-4 Stainless Steel, optimized for strength, toughness and fatigue resistance.
Both are designed for 10 million pump cycles for a rider up to 200 lbs. Figure about 300 cycles per mile if you pump 50% of the time. You can do the math from there since mileage varies.
The flanged sleeve pivot bearings are PTFE/PFAS free, optimized for pulsating loads with a service life of over 120,000 hours.

BUSHINGS:
REQUIRES FAT CONE BUSHINGS with a shallow 120-135 degree 1 inch diameter recess on the fat end. Tall Fat Cones will result in a wider minimum width unless the nylon spacer is reduced or replaced with a shorter one. Recessed bushings and other accessories are coming soon! Typical bushing recommendations:

55 Deg Front (go one softer if using a bracket)
<160 lbs: 60A APS Light Orange Fat Cone
160-180 lbs: 65A APS Light Yellow Fat Cone
180-200 lbs: 70A APS Purple Fat Cone
200 lbs+: 75A APS Green Fat Cone

20 Deg Rear (Spec'd for fast pumping, go softer if you prefer carving or slower speed pumps).
<160 lbs: 87A White Krank Fat Cone
160-180 lbs: 90A Green Krank Fat Cone
180-200 lbs: 93A Red Wine Krank Fat Cone
200 lbs+: 96A Grey Krank Fat Cone

NOTES: If you want zero degrees, check out the less expensive T-Zero "Truck" (no pivot axis), de-wedge the 20 deg truck, or reverse mount the 20 deg truck on a kick. Running at -20 also works great to give the feel of a slightly longer wheel base, like running a zero degree on a slightly longer deck.
