what do you guys think?
I think they're the only precisions worth the money because they're the only precisions that are actually precise. |

^^^ how do you figure that? anything cnc'ed is precise. precision trucks are all cnced. all of them are precise. ergo you don't know what your talking about.
All they are is a way to get a straight axle. its impossible to get a straight axle with cast trucks because the base plate and hanger are made from molten aluminum alloys and the axle is steel. So when you pour a soft material in a liquid state on to a solid material that is much harder, they will cool at different rates. Hot things expand, cool things contract. When the metals cool, because of their different properties they cool at different rates. The aluminum cools faster and stress's (bends) the steel. efforts have been made to minimize this, but all cast trucks are bent which is why people make "precision" trucks. They are all precise to their designs within .0001 if made on a cnc. similar tolerances if machined manually. so in short..... your wrong.

I'd like to get a review as well as the riding done on the trucks with and without the support pin installed.

@ jokerI'm pretty sure bacon was talking about the way they function not how they are made

This. I know precisions have precise parts, but they don't function as precisely as Ronins do. |

If there is a bushing underneath the pin, could one change the duro of said bushing? Are there different bushings for that as well?

There is a thane cup for the pin but it doesn't affect the ride or function, the other end of the pin is a spring to keep the hanger from compressing the bushing So no, just taller bushings where they are suppose to be nothing too crazy, word on the street is venom is making bushings to fit, but I gotta say the black stocks on the ronins are sick, first time I've left stock bushing on a truck haha I was chatting with mischo here's what he said about the pin cup [02-10-2012 12:32 PM] That one yeah, you could change the duro...I suppose. Stop tweaking! That's all I have to say to that... they work amazing as they are! |

I'v had a set for 6 months now. For DH, they are the most confidence inspiring trucks on the market. The best ratio of grip:stability:turn on the market. Obsessive workmanship, unparalleled value.  Get some! |
If you pretend its not there, its healed as soon as you start pretending.

I was just wondering because having that extra pin, while adding stability, it is yet another moving point in the truck and would require maintenance just as much as the regular bushings. Also, a spring on the bottom? I guess research and development over time may answer this, but I wonder how tolerant the spring is to sub-zero temperatures.   |
