Stop your Carver CX surfskate truck from squeaking forever with RipTide pivot cups in WFB urethane 96a durometer.
Stop your Carver CX surfskate truck from squeaking forever with RipTide pivot cups in WFB urethane 96a durometer.
The RipTide WFB compound has a unique lubrication added that does not bond with the urethane, which is why you will often see a white residue on the surface. This compound offers reduced friction to stop pivot cup squeaking.
- Sold as a pair with sticker.
- Specifically designed for each truck.
- Lively and responsive.
- Stops pivot cup squeaking.
- Hand-poured into custom-made molds, then the cup end is machined to fit the truck’s base plate perfectly.
- No machining imperfections and no heat-affected zone in the super smooth pivot contact area.
- RipTide’s exclusive Internally Lubricated WFB Urethane in 96a
RipTide Pivot Cups & Tubes are the result of two years of beta testing in every possible condition that Colorado’s high country can deliver.
RipTide’s Pivots are specifically designed for each truck. RipTide does not offer universal styles because of the compromises a universal pivot forces you to make.

Buttery smooth! I upgraded my Carver Greenroom and Swallow with new wheels and bushings a month ago. Due to import tax reasons I did not include the pivot cups. My local store finally got some back in stock so I purchased there. Blown away by the difference only putting the pivot cups in makes. Buttery smooth turning. It’s like I greased up the entire system. Get these!

I literally have Riptide pivot cups in all my long boards and surf skates. They make your board feel a lot more precise and smooth, and they last longer as well. Small but effective upgrade!
