I’m pretty sure the ONLY reason I haven’t had a bad fall in my board yet is the fact I say out loud to myself “big ball time homie “ before every big drop and I can’t let myself down haha

I Generally mix mobil 1 synthetic Bearing grease with WPL Fork boost lube(lube for mountain bike suspension forks). I started doing this a few years ago after going to Ocean City, MD for vacation. I was only there for a few days and I assume a combination of the salty/sandy environment and heat wreaked havoc on my longboard bearings. Since doing this my bearings last much longer, they roll somewhat smoother, and are a bit quieter. Now I can ride my board for a month straight then let it sit for the winter, and pull it out as soon as it hits 60 degrees outside. Without doing any maintenance to it and it'll ride just as smooth as it did before it was put away. The main perk to using grease is the fact that theres virtually no run off. Grease isn't effected by gravity like oil is. Even when you riding your board the oil is still going to settle in the lowest point of the bearing at that particular time. When you do ride the oil gets flung to the outter races. During all this movement some of the oil actually gets thrown out of the bearings at the edges of the seals. Grease doesn't do this nearly as easy or as fast. Once grease gets on something it has a tendency to stay there until wiped away. Even then it still leaves a nice layer behind.

I clean my bearings in a jar of mineral spirits, then i blow them out with my air compressor. I never thought about putting toothbrush heads in a rock tumbler, neat idea. I checked out a few of your grease videos, ive been using super s #00 weight grease from tractor supply in some oust moc9 bearings for skating outside. it seems like a good combination with the low weight grease and the contact rubber seal to keep it in. I was using a #2 weight grease before that but it mostly seemed to get pushed away from the balls.

Sounds like running high (ex. +10mm) positive rake with a high-rebound resistance (especially towards the end of lean - aka. fat cone) is the perfect combo to me.
@wiradharma703029 күн бұрын
Umm, from bearing specs there is limiting rpm rating on bearings on grease and oil. That is why you put uncovered bearing on engine, no grease on an auto engine.

How can you adjust the amount of pivot-angle-added-per-degree-of-lean (PAAPDOL)? The rear truck doesn't need a lower static pivot angle, but it needs less PAAPDOL.
@LongboardTechnologyАй бұрын
It would be very hard to make this adjustable. You control this rate through a few inputs, but it really comes down to the angle of the two "pivot cups". If that angle is zero, then its a normal truck with no progression, and you get more and more progression up until about as wide of an angle as I made here. There's a couple ways that might let you mess with it by setting up the truck differently, but we've not had luck doing that and having the truck hold up.

Hi, have you tried the positive rake on higher speeds? Maybe, that's why surfskates having negative rake. Thanks a lot for your videos.
@klawrence1ytАй бұрын
Right, they would be unstable at speed because of the lack of caster effect.
@overnights2572Ай бұрын
@@klawrence1yt That's it, I think rake and caster are almost synonyms, since negative rake increases the stability by "pulling" the wheels instead of pushing, it seems that front truck may be pulling the wheels, while the back truck is pushing them (or vice-versa), I've seen some back trucks with smaller angles to gain stability, but the skate loses agility... this is an amazing subject to discuss.

I'm partially involved, but its not my own project. For LDP, you'll have to lean too much to pump, and they're too tall to be good for pushing. I think we're getting close to having a version for sale but, IDK.

Yes. They could go a bit lower, it doesn't need to lean as far as this can. But more or less, you're not going to go really low with these. Steep hills are where these were born, and what they're all about. I can't really do them justice on the silly little hill on my backyard.

@michaelcampbell29722 ай бұрын
I'm not hating on these. They seem very solidly constructed and I believe they would keep the water off my pants. The issue I see is the mounting method I'm certain would funnel water directly into your bearings. Anyone who has ridden in the elements knows wet bearings seize up literally within an hour of sitting idle. I like my Cloud Ride Hurricanes for wet work because they seem to have purposely engineered the hub to shed water away from the bearings upright or turned sideways. I've been trying to design a simple fender in my head out of thin flexible plastic. I tend to TimTaylor things I design a lot of times. I cursed engineers constantly for this as a tradesman. I've been leaning towards a simple flap with slots to match the base plate mounting holes. Just loosen truck hardware and slide them in. As long as they are plenty flexible and light weight it really wouldn't matter if they rub the wheels a little when turning.

Hey guys, I've been a fan of your channel since 2017 but haven't watch y'all for a while. Ive always trusted you're guys analysis of longboard trucks. What do you think is the best truck for LDP? Ronin, Rojas, Other Planet, Major Arc, Sciesmic G5?
@LongboardTechnology2 ай бұрын
TBH, I don't really have the experience in LDP to really say. Other Planet could be nice for Long Distance Push, but would not have anything to offer for Long Distance Pump. It could be redesigned to be a good rear truck for both either I think, but as is, no. Rojas. Still one of my favorite trucks, but I feel like their ride is pretty harsh. So even though they have awesome turn and great response, distance skating I'd have a higher priority on comfort. They're also very tall. Ronin I think is a good option, good balance of precision, efficiency, and comfort. the caveat is they're a RKP geometry, and LDP isn't necessarily RKPs strongest use case. Seismic, they were designed for pump. I'm sure they have something to offer LDP, but I'm not sure how to get it from them. And Major Arc, I understand technologically how they work, don't have much insight into how they ride.
@ASAPSquatterRemoval2 ай бұрын
@@LongboardTechnology Thanks for the response guys! You're the best skateboard nerds ever! I know you guys have used the seismic G5 spring trucks because you have videos of them. Springs make sense for LDP since it allows for direct energy conservation. However Major Arc might have an edge if their rotating wheels design is more efficient. Would love to see you guys do some scientific tests to find out what truck is the best for LDP. You don't need to be an expert to collect data and you guys already have the engineering skills to solve this problem. Plus I bet it would be your most watched video, just sayin 😉

Thanks for the education on these. I came across a set in great condition and figured I'd throw them on a long board cruiser just for a nostalgic old school type thing or for the uniqueness at the very least. When I went to mount them I quickly realized these trucks looked very familiar and I remember in the 70's a truck that was high dollar and used in downhill record setting called the Stroker . Not really the same in principle but it's reminiscent in the looks department. Anyway they ride alright and suite the purpose I put a deck together with them . Thanks again for the video much appreciated..
