Tensor Pro Fade Truck -

Sold Individually
Built for stability and smaller wheels. With a shortened pivot stem and stretched kingpin-to-pivot distance, the lo is tailored to dampen out undesirable �Wiggle� that can hinder consistency.. It�s the truck of choice for technical skaters such as Rodney mullen and Daewon Song.

NEW LO TRUCK

LOWER KINGPIN We dropped the head by 1/8��no snagging. There are a few ways to do this, so we chose the least disruptive method, preserving the height, weight, and turning radius. First, we effectively shortened the kingpin; second, we dropped the �seat� of the bottom bushing on the baseplate; last, we pulled the �ring� (top-bushing seat) deeper, away from the axle. This does affect the feel of the truck due to increased leverage on the bushing, so we treaded lightly. While 1/8� isn�t much, it should be enough.

TIGHTER FIT The fit of the hanger on the bushing was a bit �loose,� which became more noticeable as the bushings and pivot cup compressed and stretched over their natural lifespan. The new precision fit creates a more solid, responsive feel.
QUICKER TURN This was the last adjustment, compensating for the subtle geometrical effects of the first two, plus quickening the turn a bit simply because we felt the truck needed it.
