NOT SUITABLE FOR LONGBOARDS

I only ride longboards so I can't comment on my experience of using them on a skateboard but I have to say I was very disappointed with these hubs. I loved them because they were affordable, from a reputable company, and different in shape to any other bushing I'd bought. During the installation it was clear that something was wrong. Since they are "shorty" it was very difficult to tighten the kingpin enough to get good tension. Granted, I'm 6ft 3cm and 218lbs, so I really like the stiff hub support, but even after using a full size wrench to tighten the kingpin as tight as possible, the pivots were very loose and the hub felt very soft. Never had this problem. They also squeaked and squeaked a lot when turning the board and were still just as loud and annoying after a week of wearing. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the size/shape and the fact that I had them on my longboard. (Plus cheap material) So ATTENTION ALL LONGBOARDERS! THIS IS NOT FOR YOU! skateboarder. You tell me. I do not know.
