Each Truck contains two Elastomers each with an offset hole. The Hole is offset for two reasons, first to compensate the weight of the rider and second to give the rider the option to set the truck up with a toeside bios to make turning toe side a little easier. Arrows show a moulding mark or a 'pip' to indicate the thick side of the Elastoma. |

Our Elastomers come in different shore hardness to give the tilt resistance the rider wants but also due to the shape of the elastomers they can be fitted in different ways to fine tune your setup, This setup shows the elastomers set up to give the hardest setting, 'pip' facing out. |

This setup shows the elastomers set up to give the softest setting, 'pip' facing in. Although not visible the 'pip' is still at the top. Its not unusual to have the 'pip' on one side facing out and the 'pip' on the other side facing in, also different shore harness Elastomers can be mixed on the the same axle to get the setting the rider wants. |

In this set up you can see that the elastomers
on the toeside has been rotated around the axle 180 degrees, this is
to give the rider and offset in favor an easier toeside turning which
will result in a stiffer heelside turning favored by some riders. |

This shows how this setting will look prior to
the endcap assembly being fitted. |

Being able to adjust the turning circle to the riders requirement is one of the biggest advantages of Revolution Trucks, so no matter what angle your deck rises up at each end you will be able to set your trucks to suit, you may find that you prefer one truck set up to a different angle to the other. *The steeper you set the angle the stiffer it will feel so softer Elastomers may be needed to compensate |

This view shows how to line up your elastomers, this is not necessarily the setting you will choose but is a example of how to line everything up. *Note the position of the 'pip' in relation to the screw holes. |

This view is the same as above but the endcap and guide are in position to show the relationship of all the parts in the final assembly. *Note how the thick end of the Elastoma is toward the top of the truck to compensate for the riders weight, this also gives a little shock absorption. |
