Where to put the lighter truck
« on: October 22, 2022, 04:16:38 PM »
I think I have the most pedantic madness question that can be asked. If you were suffering from gear madness, and weighed a new pair of titanium trucks to find one was 5 grams heavier than the other, would you put the lighter truck on the front or back? I acknowledge this is a ridiculous question.

I would put it up front thinking I would bone out my kickflips and have more weight up there to fling treflips.

Depends.  Do you do more krooked grinds (put it up front) or Five-Os (put it out back).  You will quickly wear them even

Do you grind down one truck faster than the other? Put the heavier one where it will get grinded down more so they even out quicker

I like to supeglue on lead-weights to make them even. Just glue it under the hangar.

Is that the same spot where the magnets are?

Everyone's trippin. This has been covered before.
You obviously want it in the front to increase leverage when popping, and also in the air when leveling out. Some wierdos even use a wider front truck for this reason. More weight in the back won't have any advantages whatsoever.
