Trucks

Ive had my heart set on a pair of Royal trucks that had a Blue hanger with white writing. I saw them everywhere and now that i have money to buy them they are nowhere to be found! If anyone knows where I could buy these it would be a huge help.

These are the trucks but obviously are out of stock... http://www.blankdecks.com/trucks/royal_trucks.htm

email blank decks and ask them when/if they will have them in stock. check a local skate shop too, but im sure you already thought of that option.

the ones labeled "black/silver" have a black hanger, so I would assume the ones labeled "blue/silver" will have a blue hanger. And blank skate supply is good about returns and whatnot too.

Hold on, hold on. Before you do anything look at the sizes of the trucks. The ones you were looking at have a 5.0 hangar, which translates to a 7 3/4" axle width. The ones Ctipping has listed are 7 5/8". If you're trying to match width as well as color then you'd better keep looking. If color is all you're concerned about then I think those will probably suffice. Ask the shop if they can send you a picture of them, that way you'll know if they're the same ones you like.

i emailed blankdecks.com and they told me that royal is not producing those trucks anymore. i picked the silver hanger with blue writing instead... Does anyone know how good these turn and how good the bushing quality is? (probably should have asked this before I bought them)
