>buy a new board and put it together bc i forgot my last one when i moved across the country>first day havin fun goes well>second day my kingpin nut just falls off while i’m riding down a hill (was pushing so, i didn’t get hurt)>fix it think that the bolt just was loose when i got the trucks>third day i’m just riding around in a park and the nut falls off againis my bolt stripped? if so do you think my local skate shop will replace it? i mean the poor girl is only 3 days old.
I dont know bro maybe call the shop??? wtf are we supposed to tell you from this small picture?
>>187813Personally I'd take it back and ask for a new one.
>>187813Anon go back to the shop. Get more kingpin nuts. It's hard to tell if your actual kingpin is stripped or something from the picture. Tbh if it's a nice shop they'll probably just give you a few.
>>187813So what happened lil anon?
>>187813it smelled the gay sticker and jumped
Looks like it probably wasn't tight enough. The white plastic looking part of the nut is nylon and locks the nut so it doesn't vibrate off. If the nylon isn't engaged, the nut will fall off with time and use. If you can't get your trucks loose enough without loosening it so the nylon isn't touching threads, you need to get some softer bushings and replace them.
>>187813Are you seriously incapable of diagnosing a fault with a fucking nut and bolt? >>187817Good advice, ask an adult because you are clearly helpless.
>>187813you tried thread lock on that hoe?>t. tourist from /diy/
>>189468This anon is exactly correct>>187813I mean I ride loose trucks but the answer is not less thread engagement on the kingpin it's softer bushings. I have made the mistake you have and used to ride right on the edge of thread engagement and subsequently have had to skate home kingpin nutless over massive cracks, miseryjust some food for thought, if you like the way you the board feels underfoot when the bushing is not squeezed consider taking out the washers between the bushing and swapping to a bones hardcore bushing >>189852as for this asshole >incapable of diagnosing a fault here are the steps to diagnose a fault with a nut and boltgo to the skate shop ask for a new nut, put it on and make sure you get that nylon engagement we talked aboutif the nut doesn't thread on easily with the tool there is likely damage to the threads, but with the right tooling sometimes available at the skate shop they can re-thread it
