In this short post I want to explain why I think the terms “TKP” and “RKP” do not really tell us much about how trucks work. Continue reading RKP – TKP: term pertinence
Using logic, one can realize that every truck (with a single pivot) turns the same, regardless of rake or any other characteristic. This and a few other points about truck geometry are tackled in this post. Continue reading Truck geometry (open access)
Here’s a couple of illustrations and a chart just to restate the obvious: tilt/turn is rake-agnostic. Continue reading Axle offset (aka rake): it doesn’t change axle turn
The other day I was searching the internet about “rake” and speed wobbles and stuff and I stumbled upon Sabre’s webpage on “Truck Geometry.” It was a bit… messy. Continue reading Axle offset (aka rake): urban myths and skate companies
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post. Continue reading Protected: Truck geometry
Someone on facebook answered me that it’s 22mm, perhaps a tiny bit more. Continue reading Bennett axle offset (or “rake”)
