  • Precisely machined specifically to shore up the trucks on PowerDyne Arius plates, these shims fit onto the truck yoke and eliminate all slop on the axis pin.

     

    New for 2024: two ways to beef up your tuning! 

    • Basic - great for all skaters of all levels looking for the necessary protection for the plate. This includes 8 finned shims to place on either side of each axis pin.
    • Advanced - extra shims for the skaters who bring the heat and are super hard on their gear. This includes the 8 finned shims as well as 8 additional flat shims to stack for another layer of durability.

     

    Secure each shim in place with a tiny dab of Loctite 242 and then use clear tape or a drop of clear fingernail polish to cover the alignment fins. There are a couple more little tricks we'll use to get these perfectly seated on your plates, but once these are all set, you will feel quite a difference.

     

    This will allow you to run significantly softer cushions to catch deeper edges and cuts without sacrificing any agility. On a plate that already runs like greased lightning, this will have you flying!
