| Hey guys. Found a TD longboard in Fenwicks last Friday, so I picked one up. Only problem is the axles are a little too long. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas or suggestions about kingpins, axles, etc? Basically tricking out these trucks to save on BRTs.
Cheers. |

| If it's the threaded part that annoys you, do as kerry said. If it's the non threaded part, then buy some washers. |

| If the axle is too long, just put the nuts on, then file it down to the nut. That way you can measure to the exact length  |
