M6 Nut - Marine Grade Stainless steel Nylock Nut - Fixes Bindings & Trucks to Deck

Introducing TRAMPA's M6 (6mm Thread) A4 Grade Marine Grade Stainless steel Nylock Nut. This Nylock Nut will fit to all M6 Bolts regardless of their length. This A4 Marine Grade Stainless Steel Nut will never rust on you! It is fitted with the world renowned NYLOCK System (Nylock is a nylon locking system where Nylon is pasted into the threads of the nut so that when the bolt is tightened into the nut the nylon grabs the thread of the bolt holding it locking it in the thread ensuring things do not vibrate loose or fall off when being ridden on rough terrain like that which a Mountain or Kiteboard endures. The NYLOCK System is fitted as standard to all TRAMPA Nuts. 

This Nut is used to fix to the Regular shaped M6 Bolts that hold the TRUCKS to the DECK for the HOLYPRO Decks & also for the countersunk bolts connecting the L BRACKETS TO the DECKs. Use an 10mm spanner or SOCKET for a Ratchet Driver to tighten the Nut onto the Bolt. Always ensure your Nuts & Bolts are tight before you ride!

8mm NICKLE PLATED Kingpin

This M8 x 80mm Nikel Plated Spring Truck Kingpin is used to connect the Hanger & the Baseplate on any of TRAMPA's Spring Trucks.

Using high quality metals & sizing down to a 8mm Kingpin, we have managed to save loads of weight whilst retaining all the strength necessary for the job!

This M8 x 80mm Kingpin uses an 8mm Washer to support the busing from the outside & a 6mm washer to protect the bushing on the inside side & connects into an M6 Nut. You'll need a 4mm Allen key to hold the Kingpin & a 10mm spanner to tighten/loosen your M6 Kingpin Nut.

This Kingpin pushes through plastic bushings before being placed into position in the Truck System. The Plastic bushings allow the metal parts (Hanger & Baseplate) to move freely inside each other without allowing the metal parts to touch or wear out.

The plastic bushings will wear out over time & use & will eventually perish & need replacing. SO, make sure your Bushings are always in good working order after riding riding or when upgrading your Kingpin, it might be time to replace them too due to the unavoidable wear & tear of moving mountainboard parts.

King Pin Bushings have different thickness bases & fit into all Spring Trucks

The 2mm Kingpin Bushings are pushed into the holes of the SAVAGE Hanger & sit tightly in position. They hold the Kingpin in a wear-free position between the moving metal parts of the SAVAGE hanger & Baseplate.

The Bushings allow the movement (steering) without wearing out the metal parts.

The Kingpin bushings are a small perishable item. They are subjected to a lot of forces & stress, although they are now supported by a 2mm Kingpin Bushing re-enforcement ring, through regular abuse they will ultimately wear out & eventually need replacing.

Depending on what surface you are riding on & the nature of your riding style will depend on how long these bushings will last you.

To make sure your trucks are always performing at their best you should keep some spare Bushings on the shelf at home & inspect these them on a regular basis (preferably before riding) & in particular replace any bushings that are showing signs of wear & then even if they are not broken from time to time replace them anyway...

One way to check your bushings is to man h&le the truck when fitted to the deck... If you feel any play between the Hanger & the Baseplate then you definitely need to replace the bushings straight away before you do damage to the hanger.

Worn out Bushings will cause the kingpin to rub in the Hanger kingpin hole... The kingpin is much stronger than the Aluminium used to make the hanger & the kingpin will wear a nasty hole of you do not fix the problem before it gets too late.

If you ride with trucks that have play in them, then you are lining yourself up for an accident... If you feel any play, this can at speed convert to wobble & we all know riding with a board with a wobble will lead to accidents, so it is wise to check your bushings & rings on a regular basis.

The difference between the four bushings is the thickness of the base. The different base sizes are 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm and 2.5mm. 2.5mm is the standard size we work to. As all trucks have 4 bushings this .5mm difference in each of the bushing bases allows us to bridge a maximum distance of 2mm (4x.05mm=2m) resolving any foreseeable problems.

Kingpin Bushings 3mm Base - for Spring Trucks

The Kingpin Bushings sit tightly in position & hold the Kingpin in a wear-free position between the moving metal parts of the hanger & Baseplate.

Kingpin Bushing Re-enforcement Ring - Custom

2.5mm Kingpin Bushing Re-enforcement Rings are used in the assembly of all of the TRAMPA Spring Trucks with EXCETION TO the SAVAGE Trucks which use 2mm Kingpin Bishings & 2mm re-enforcement rings in its assembly.

The Kingpin Bushing Re-enforcement Ring is pushed onto or over the top of the Kingpin bushing after it has been inserted into the Hanger & before the baseplate is presented for connection.

The Re-enforcement ring spreads the weight of the connection to give extra support to the tiny kingpin bushings, whilst still allowing the free movement between the Hanger & Baseplate (steering), without wearing out the metal parts.

As all the metal parts are hand constructed here in the UK, so it has been easy for us to control the construction of the Trucks to ensure each truck that leaves the building has the correct size bushings fitted & therefore we can ensure totally smooth steering system in every Truck like we always brag about :-)
