We just got a big shipment of 10mm Munkae Trucks from the Downhill Dragon Clan. What I love is the wide variety of colors they have available. You can either pick from what we have in stock or you can let us know what you want and we’ll order it up for you. Keep in mind that with these 10mm axles you will need 10mm bearings but luckily they’ll only run you about $16 (or for ceramic 10mm bearings, $52).
Here’s what Seattle local longboarder Barrett had to say about his new pair of Munkaes:
“They have lots of agility, a quick response, good articulation and great leverage. The traction they provide going around corners is like a whole different sport. They’re awesome and I’ve been loving riding them.”
Since Munkaes come stock with venoms, at least you won’t have to spend any extra to upgrade your bushings. They have a 42.25 degree baseplate and are like a cross between Bear Smokies and Kahalanis. Josh Rolf, the mastermind behind Munkaes, recommends that the kingpin go through the bottom of the baseplate. This helps reduce damage to the thru hole due to heavy turning and road vibrations. Threads will eat a hole in aluminum in a hurry.
