TRAMPA's 12mm SKATE STYLE HANGER BODY is produced from FORGED ALUMINUM. Forging is used whenever Aluminum is required to perform to its maximum strength capability. During the forging process workers insert a 12mm thick STEEL AXLE into the mould. Fixing the Axle to the hanger body in this way gives the strongest possible connection between the two metals. To gain strength, prior to being inserted into the mould the Steel Axle is HEAT TREATED. Heat Treating Steel makes it substantially stronger & more resistant to impacts. The Hanger is then BEAD POLISHED to give a nice smooth surfce and POWDER COATED BLUE for best surface protection & finally given a co-ordinating BLACK TRAMPA LOGO to Pimp its appearance.

12mm SKATE TRUCKS are light weight. Saving weight will bring obvious benefits to freestyle Kiteboard riders aiming to go big, BUT Skate Trucks are not the strongest Trucks in the TRAMPA product range & we do not recommended they be used by large sized adult riders seeking huge freestyle moves as over time & especially after some hardcore mis-use, these Hangers can get bent & ultimately become un-usable! Top riders accept that the Skate trucks are not the strongest, and are generally quite happy to purchase replacements from time to time as their price to replace and light weight-ness is un-matched by any other style of steering system. So, if your going on a big riding session or road trip to a far off location, may we suggest you carry a spare one of these to cover emergencies... There is nothing worse than getting all the way to a remote location & then a stupid mistake stops your fun...

There is an Interconnecting PIVOT CUP that sits between the BASEPLATE & the HANGER. Its a small plastic part which after prolonged use will wear out and need replacing. Carry spares of this part & for best performance check its condition before ridging. As a tip, when replacing these bushings try to squeeze the new one into old one rather than simply remove & replace... 12mm x 28 x 8mm TRAMPA Skate size Bearings fit as standard to the TRAMPA 12mm Skate Trucks.

The 12mm Skate Hanger measures 15.5 Inches in total width. When the wheels are fitted to the Hanger, the board has a center wheel width of 13.5 Inches. TRAMPA's 12mm skate Hanger uses 2x 44mm x 10mm POWDER-COATED SPACERS (1 either side). The spacer slips onto the axles, leaving the perfect space to mount the TRAMPA wheels accurately. Use the 7/16ths of an inch Axle Nuts to lock the wheels into place on the axle.
