Pivot Pin For Saturno, Matrix, and Ring
For use in Skate Frames 04:
Saturno, Matrix Steel
The Roll-Line Pivot Pins in Steel are meticulously designed to endure the rigorous demands of high-level competitive skating.
Featuring two (2) flats stamped into the neck, these Pivot Pins accommodate a 6mm wrench for precise adjustments, ensuring proper functionality.
A well-adjusted Pivot Pin is crucial for optimal skate performance. The "Adjustable" Pivot Pin allows the truck to operate at its best angles, adapting to variations in cushion tensions.
It is important to keep the Pivot Pin and Pivot Pin Jam Nuts completely tight. The Pivot Pins are initially installed into the trucks with BLUE Removable Lock-Tight. While they can be loosened with significant effort, maintaining the proper adjustment is sometimes necessary and highly important for peak performance.

How to adjust Pivot Pins
Ensuring correct Pivot Pin adjustment is crucial for optimal performance. The Pivot Pin should be fully seated into the bottom of the Pivot Pin Cup, exhibiting no side-to-side or up-and-down movement when twisting or pushing down on the truck, respectively.
Avoid running the Pivot Pin out too far, as it may exert unnecessary pressure on the Pivot Pin Cup, suspensions (cushions), and the King Pin, potentially altering the Angle of Action. Striking the right balance is key – a solid adjustment without over-tightening.
Once the Pivot Pin is correctly positioned, use a 6mm wrench to hold it in place. With a 13mm wrench, tighten the Pivot Pin Jam Nuts against the shoulder on the truck. Ensure this is done tightly while still holding the Pivot Pin in position with the 6mm wrench, as it may rotate during the tightening process.
The Pivot Pin is significantly harder and stronger than the aluminum truck's internal threads. If the Pivot Pin is allowed to be loose, it can damage the threads over time. Regular checks and adjustments, as recommended in the Roll-Line manual, are vital. If the threads become compromised, replacing the truck with the axle assembly is necessary.
The Pivot Pin and its proper adjustment are critical for the Roll-Line Skate's performance. Regular checks or maintenance by a qualified Skate Technician are advised.
