Patent attributes
A skateboard truck assembly that eliminates wheel bite without sacrificing the turning responsiveness thereof. The truck assembly includes a plurality of set screws disposed in the ring-shaped member of the hanger adjacent to the kingpin. The longitudinal axis of the plurality of set screws is generally parallel to the axle and generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the kingpin. The distances between the plurality of set screws and the kingpin, adjustable by the user, determines the amount of wheel bite prevention. When the hanger pivots through an angle and causes a set screw to contact the kingpin, further pivoting of the hanger stops. In a further feature the shaft of the kingpin includes a plurality of flat surfaces adjacent to the plurality of set screws.
