Ace Trucks AF7 for Everyday Skating
The Ace Trucks AF7 is a skateboard truck built by Ace, a brand riders search out by name when they know exactly what they want under their deck. If you have been typing queries about Ace truck sizing, weight, and how they compare to other setups, the AF7 is the model that fits that lineup.
Built by Ace
- Brand: Ace
- Model: AF7
Ace has built a reputation in skateboarding for trucks that hold up to repeated impact and stay consistent turn after turn, which is why the name comes up so often when riders are comparing setups online.
Who Rides the AF7
Skateboard trucks are a two-per-board component, so most riders buy the AF7 in a matched pair to complete or upgrade a deck. They work for street, park, and everyday cruising, and are a common choice when a rider is rebuilding a board from the ground up rather than replacing a full complete.
Setting Up and Breaking In
New trucks should be mounted with the baseplate hardware torqued evenly on both sides so the deck sits level, and the kingpin nut adjusted to the rider's preferred turning response, tighter for stability at speed and looser for sharper carving. Riders should recheck hardware tightness after the first few sessions since new trucks can settle slightly as the bushings seat.
Caring for Your Trucks
Rinse salt water and sand off the hardware after riding near the coast, since corrosion is the most common thing that shortens the life of skate trucks in a beach town. Periodically check the kingpin nut and axle nuts for tightness, and replace bushings when turning starts to feel loose or inconsistent.
