I bet etchy is pissed that he painted his trucks yellow

McCarver · 02-01-2010, 03:32 PM

I seriously LOLed on that one!

BgSurfer · 02-01-2010, 03:37 PM

The center piece/damper is missing in those photos.

McCarver · 02-01-2010, 03:49 PM

Or maybe it was just a really bad photo and it was an optical illusion?

BryceAZ · 02-01-2010, 04:08 PM

Hmm, much less mysterious from these pics.

follysurfer · 02-01-2010, 04:12 PM

you know, i might as well go ahead and say it, cause i'm sure someone else will, looks like trampa, but a bit beefier.

stlmtboarder · 02-01-2010, 04:18 PM

looks sick. about time lites came in different colors!

parkerbomar · 02-01-2010, 04:21 PM

So let me guess,

we get gold, silver, and black

or you could get black and let it sit in the sun for a few days then you have gold, leave it there for a few more and you have silver.

stlmtboarder · 02-01-2010, 05:56 PM

bearingless...? or integrated?

hopefully not bc i had an aluminum channel design a lot like this but with integrated bearings in the aluminum hanger

shaker · 02-01-2010, 07:05 PM

When you are trying to reduce weight, plastic or nylon inserts are much lighter than bearings.

parkerbomar · 02-01-2010, 07:10 PM

So, is the only thing different the hanger?

doned · 02-01-2010, 11:23 PM

it says only "Matrix"- do we also have a Matrix lite in programm

teoretically one could mount the old axles on the new hangers..

McCarver · 02-02-2010, 04:32 AM

I have combined the really old MBS bottom trucks with the plastic top piece from the matrix trucks, so I assume you could probably do the same here.

Possibly integrated, but that is not what the picture suggest. Regardles they look sick as hell, I just hope they arent squeaky like the old black trucks.

Looked at that, but my old kingpin diameter is too wide for the bearings. The new kingpins are too narrow for the old bottom trucks.

How did you do it?

I'm drooling over the keyboard.
Those trucks look gorgeous, expensive and essential!!
