| I got a set of these off a friend second hand and set them up, and to be honest, I was extremely disappointed! The bushings weren't the same size, so the truck was completely wonky, so after using them for a while I didn't have the best first impressions of these. However, at Crossed Fingers I tried out many sets of them and they were insane! Thankfully after winning a set at Crossed Fingers, I have set them up again and can say that they're absolutely amazing! I think I may have over tightened my first set when mounting them, which deformed the shape. With a fresh set, I haven't made the same mistake, and have set them to my preference without ruining the bushings. Nice work Gilly! |

- well its the top one and whenever i tighten it the nut just sinks into the hole, and after an hour it will just fall off, they arent split or anything, so i dont realy know whats happening with them

I've had a similar problem with my first set but I have another set now thanks to Gilly without this problem. I'll be trying them out later. |

| They're not even tight man, it's just that they're on longboard base plates which have longer than normal kingpins. |

| I bought some BRT's yesterday, so it doesn't really matter about them hangers, I can live with these wides at the moment.
And the type of hangar makes no difference to the performance of the bushing anyway, it's only dependent on the length of the kingpin and how tight the trucks are set. The No Logos were fine on the hangers for the first 3 days until they started warping, which is exactly what happened with my last pair (which were on 32mm Tech Deck trucks) |

| Very odd indeed... Iv had no problems with warping and im still on my first set that I moulded.. Tho there on Brts. I'm going to have to look into this Cheers for bringing it to my attention. Are you using washers with them? when the top washer is on it should technically eliminate all problems like this " Technically" One suggestion to try. Tighten the screw with washer on really tight then loosen it all the way this may put them back to the right shape.. let me no if this helps I may have to look into making the rubber stiffer again... |

Just did this man, it made an improvement, still a tad off though - Noel wrote:

I did this aswell, it made no difference really, the kingpins in my old ones weren't that much longer man |
