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!
Custom Kingpin for Spring Trucks - M8x80mm Nikle Plated, Stainless Steel or TITANIUM
This M8 x 80mm Spring Truck Kingpin is used to connect the Hanger & the Baseplate on the TRAMPA'S SPRING & MINI SPRING Trucks. By using an 8mm Kingpin we have managed to save weight whilst retaining all the strength necessary for the job, by using high quality metals!
This M8 x 80mm Kingpin connects into an M6 Nut. You'll need a 5mm 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 inside each other without allowing the metal parts to touch or wear out. The plastic bushings will wear out over time and use and will eventually perish and 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 and tear of moving mountainboard parts.
These Kingpins lives up to TRAMPA's incredibly high quality standards, but it's always handy to have a spare just in case you do break one out on a ride....
King Pin bushings 2mm 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. The Bushings allow the movement (steering) without wearing out the metal parts. The Kingpin bushings are a small item & are subjected to a lot of forces & stress, through regular use they will ultimately wear out & 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 on the shelf at home & inspect these tiny bushings regular basis (preferably before riding) & in particular replace any that are showing signs of wear & then even if they are not broken from time to time replace them anyway...
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.

These parts will need replacing from time to time to ensure that your deck is running smoothly.
Best advise is that you service your board regularly, make sure everything is running free and smooth (bits of muck get in everywhere and can damage machined parts) and if not running perfectly change the the king pin bushings ( do this at least every 50 hours of riding ) and ensure your board is problem free before riding...
