Dan cheers for the reply, the trucks are the 110mm nylon composites and apart from "that spot" they have provided good service. My trucks see a lot of miles and i guess the seismics have seen maybe 4-500 miles over 7 or so months and have survived two tracker rts's,and a lazer. As my only commuter truck theres little chance i could send them in but i'll let Mike Stride have a look at them at the next Epic comp on Oct 5th and he'll inform you of "that spot"

Let me reiterate that i havent tried the metal models yet and the 110mm composites may be suffering from hard use, my 157mm's are fine no probs.

P.S. Mike, you're the very first person to ever report this to me. I assume these are plastic not metal trucks. Send them in for an inspection if you like.

A properly assembled and adjusted Seismic truck has no dead or flat spots in the neutral position, and I have heard no such reports from anyone using the new metal trucks.

Regarding the 105mm aluminum trucks, available in both quick-turning 45-degree and stable-turning 30-degree geometries, I'm pleased to report that I'm hearing nothing but positive reviews.

A few things i need answering off people in the know. Firstly whether or not the new metal models have that peculiar flat spot between turns, if you stand on a deck and crank the trucks while standing still you get about 5 degrees of deck movement to no degrees of truck turn.Second how are those 105mm 40 degree seismics shaping up?
