Grind King

[LIVE2SKATE]

1. I'm looking at Grind King trucks but cant deside between the GK-7, axl, or the lows. I'd liked to hear your opinion.

2. I was also looking at thunders but chose GK I just want something with alot of kingpin clearance and not alot of kingpin breaking.

Thx

Get Thunders youll be glad you did!!Grindkings are way too loose and feel crappy.

ium tired of all the Get thunder's shit, Get what you want. I would personally go with the Low's

i had grind king axl's last yeah they feal loose and i will never get a kingpin with an allen head bolt again cuz thats y i cant skate my grindkings anymore cuz that stripped and there too loose but yea like skaternewb said buy what you want to buy.

thunders all the way...

But does the king pin last (not breaking) on grind kings?

[Blind Sheppard]

Yeah but because it's an allen key kingpin it rounds off and you end up not being able to tighten or loosen your trucks.

Ok thx for all the posts last question, i cant decide between gk-7, gk-6, or the lows. I'm leanen toward the gk-7 but still not sure.

I'll mostly do street, maybe a little vert (bowls, spines) other than that nothing major.

Ok this is it, i changed my mind about GK's, friend told me all the problems he had with just within the 1st week. So, i'm afraid you guys have sold me to Thunder, ne way my question is if the strike lows are good and if the king pin sticks out at all and if its strong. (i ride pretty loose) And try not to repeat eachother on how gr8 thunders are.
Just a simple yes or no will do

Thx

GK are good trucks I like the Axls my self...

Whats ****ed about them they come with soft bushing really really soft...

I put on the some hard bushings swapped out the king pins to the titaniums because I hate breaking king pins... Their Vbeam axle is very strong...

Krux are pretty good trucks too...

I'm partial to inverted king pins I hate to get hung up it.... Shit alot of people modify their trucks to fit their Inverted king pins..
