Ace Trucks AF1 Limited, a Brian Anderson edition
Anyone looking into the Ace Trucks AF1 Limited is looking at a truck built directly with Brian Anderson, who hand painted his standard AF1 66 trucks to land the exact custom colorway seen here. The red ACE logo and black checkers on the baseplate are two rare touches unique to this edition, and the hanger is painted cream then black so the cream base layer shows through as the black coat wears off while skating. The BA moniker is embossed into the hanger opposite the size marking, and the name Street Pirate, a nod to Frank Gerwer, is engraved into the axle.
What is built into it
- AA 356.2 alloy, cast with Ace's own proprietary method
- True T6 heat treated baseplates and hangers
- SAE 4140 steel alloy axles, oversized to eliminate bearing wobble
- Patent pending rethreading axle nuts so damaged axle ends are no longer an issue
- Hand poured 96a urethane pivot bushings for better response
- Refined suspension for a cleaner turn
- Top bushing is 12mm tall at 91a hardness, bottom bushing is 14mm tall at 86a hardness
- Machine faced hanger ends for precise bearing contact
- A bonus red Axle Re-Threader Die is included with each set
Who it is for
This truck is for skaters who want street-focused hardware with a documented pro colorway, not just stock parts. The oversized axles and machine faced hanger ends are built for the wear of regular street and park skating, and the refined suspension is tuned for a cleaner, more controlled turn.
How to care for it
If an axle end ever gets damaged, the rethreading axle nut design paired with the included Axle Re-Threader Die lets you restore the threads instead of replacing the axle. Expect the cream painted hanger finish to wear through to black over time as you skate, that gradual reveal is part of the design rather than a defect.
