Roll-Line Pivot Pins in Steel are meticulously engineered to endure the rigorous demands of high-level competitive skating.
Featuring two (2) flats stamped into the neck, these Pivot Pins perfectly accommodate a 6mm wrench for precise adjustment, ensuring optimal skate performance.
A properly adjusted Pivot Pin is crucial for achieving the best action with variations in cushion tensions, as the "Adjustable" Pivot Pin allows the truck to operate at its optimum angles.
It is important to keep the Pivot Pin and Pivot Pin Jam Nuts absolutely and completely tight. The Pivot Pins are initially installed into the trucks with BLUE Removable Lock-Tight. Although they can be loosened with significant effort, maintaining the proper adjustment is sometimes necessary and highly important for peak performance.

How to adjust the Pivot Pin
Ensuring proper adjustment of the Pivot Pin is vital for the optimal performance of your Roll-Line Skate. Follow these guidelines:
The Pivot Pin should be fully seated into the bottom of the Pivot Pin Cup. There should be NO side-to-side movement (when twisting the truck with your hands) or up-and-down movement (when pushing straight down on the truck over the top of the Pivot Pin shank) in the Pivot Pin Cup.
Avoid running the Pivot Pin out too far or lengthening it to the point where it pushes on the Pivot Pin Cup, exerting pressure on the suspensions (cushions), and the King Pin. This could alter the Angle of Action, which is not desirable. The adjustment should be solid, so avoid overdoing it.
Once the Pivot Pin is in the correct position, hold that position with a 6mm wrench. Use a 13mm wrench to tighten the Pivot Pin Jam Nuts against the shoulder on the truck. This should be done tightly. Remember to hold the Pivot Pin in the correct position with the 6mm wrench, as it may tend to rotate during the tightening of the Pivot Pin Jam Nut.
The Pivot Pin is harder and much stronger than the aluminum truck's internal threads that hold the Pivot Pin. If the Pivot Pin is allowed to be loose (with the Pivot Pin Jam Nut not tightened), it may eventually damage or open the threads of the aluminum truck. In this case, no matter how tight you get the Pivot Pin Jam Nut, it will not stay tight due to the openness of the threads in the aluminum truck. The solution is to replace the truck with an axle assembly, ensuring proper adjustment of the Pivot Pins and keeping the Pivot Pin Jam Nuts VERY tight. Roll-Line recommends checking the Pivot Pins once a week.
The Pivot Pin and its proper adjustment are crucial for the performance of your Roll-Line Skate. Keep them adjusted or have your skates maintained by a qualified skate technician.
