beaq trucks :(

i have beaq trucks for my landyachtz evo, long  long long story short i loosened the trucks regularly to have fun and slide, and as i was trying to tighten them for a hill, they wouldn't tighten cause all the thread in the bolt had been shaved off. only reason i can think that this happened was cause i loosened and tightened them alot, still unless beaqs are made to break this shouldn't of happened.

 

PLEASE TELL ME UR OPINION AND SUGGESTIONS

You got a bad kingpin. Get a new like like Tom said. No use complaining about a measly kingpin... lol. And it's bear, not beaq

you threaded the bolt, probably scratched up the thread on a curb or put the nut on at an angle once and fcked it, just replace it and be more careful next time, common sense

Buy some new kingpins. Grade 8  Than you can spend another 6 months twisting the thread off before you will need some more

Translation - Which bears? Because my bears have a kingpin that is welded on or at least pretty much fixed to the baseplate. Just letting you know

 

After a couple of years dealing with groms I can confidently say that I am fluent in lazy grom type speak haha

Haha cheers Steve. I guess I gotta start learning some gromlish. 

 

I have '08 grizzlies and the kingpin can be removed pretty easily. I've been using the same kingpin since '08 and it's still good as new (for a 3yo kingpin). I ride it pretty much everyday.

No don't do it, even if your fluent in gromlish, you will still find yourself wanting to headbutt the nearest wall when reading it

( sorry groms! )

 

I have the bears in question and you can easily tap out the kingpin with a hammer and replace them with a decent length kingpin ( ask Robbo at Hopkins ) A standard kingpin fits in perfectly after the pressed kingpin is removed allowing you to put some sweet bushings in there.

Fuck Steve you cracked me up with that comment.  I have kids at work who send me texts like this and usually have to read them 4 or 5 times to make out the shit they're dribbling
