Trucks

[FrontsideBack]

Ok, I just got these new Tensor Mids like a week ago. I like my trucks as loose as possible. Yesterday, I was just skating in my driveway, when all the sudden my trucks just fell apart. I managed to get everything to put it back together except for one little thing.It's like the middle thing of the very last nut you screw on to keep the truck in place. I just wanna know what it's called, and if this is fixable, or do I have to buy a whole set of trucks to replace it. I doubt im gonna have to but I just wana know if I can buy that piece seperately.

Ok, thanks, I just went to the shop yesterday and bought a new one.

If you have your trucks too loose (like, 1/4 the bolt hanging on) or too tight, that can sometimes happen. We were warming up to skate in the city, and I popped a kingpin bolt doing a heelflip..

With me it was a kickflip, I wasn't going too fast, so it wasn't too bad, but it sure scared the hell out of me.

I usually keep my trucks medium-loose, is that bad.

Tensors are pretty bad trucks all around, once in a while I've known people who ride them REALLY REALLY ULTRA tight. One of my friends has been using the same Tensors for 3 years.

I expected them to be good, but yeah, I hate them. I have to make them really loose for me to turn
