Looking for lighter plate than Super-X, are adjustable pivots less strong than fixed?

Hi everybody,

I am looking to buy a new skate plate, but I kind of have to order within two days now. I currently use SureGRIP Super-X with super loose trucks. I mostly street-skate in with traffic, do a few jumps over things and go fast, I can do twisty-turny but my loose trucks are fine with that.

I was wondering whether to get the same plate again or a lighter plate; what's out there? I like 10 deg and really want strong trucks and kingpins as I have a tendency to break things. Do any of you have any good ideas please?

This leads me to the other question: are adjustable pivot pins weaker than those on a forged truck? I really am tired of rolling down the road at 45kmph haha.

Thanks!

    Some adjustable pivots are better than others. Depends on what type of skating. Bowl and outdoor skating is hard on skates anyway. I have never broken a pivot on SG DA45s.
