Does the axle go through the full width of the hexl trucks or are they threaded in? Want to confirm as I’d most likely remove some hanger for an integrated pulley bearing

I’ll re-post this rendering which shows a cross section of an axle stud and not a through axle. I didn’t model any fastening detail but that wouldn’t effect a pulley bearing anyway. The model of the bearing has a 19mm bore and a 30mm OD and the “ledge” at the end of the hanger cylinder is about 22mm from the end.
The type of people to afford and buy these trucks are the type of people to use pulleys with integrated bearings. I don’t see any real downside to always making esk8 truck axles longer. I hope this gets addressed in the future for these heXL trucks.

What are you talking about?!!! Think about it? If my Sixshooters are made to fit all longboard trucks what does that mean?
Ugh…why do you guys think it’s standard for bearings to go inside pulleys? Adding a bearing adds, drag, weight, cost, and length to axles. none of those things are good. I get it, boosted and evolve did it. buy their shit.

Probably a gain in efficiency in production and ease of use for the customer, because of all the issue a bad alignment could create.

Yeah, bolt-on pulleys are a bitch to align, not to mention the retainer looks ugly af.

Longer axles don’t discriminate – can be used with whatever pulleys you like
