I know there are tons of different egg shapes, but how much do these taper around over the bolts? I’m trying to decide if i should get 8.75 trucks or 9.0. I don’t see myself ever riding an egg over 9” or 9.1” though.
I think most people usually go for about 1/4" or so down in truck size.
My Huffer 9.18 has Indy 159s (8.75) and they work well.
The 9.5 Heroin egg has Thunder 161 (9") trucks after I tried 151s (8.75) and thought it was just a bit too far in.
Two others with around 8.75 width boards have 149s and an 8.3 has 139s all sitting just nicely under on normal sized wheels.
* I forgot to add, but if you already have a board, or can see it in person, measure the width across the far front and far back bolts for a pretty accurate width of truck as that is about where the axle sits on most when considering where the wheels are, but if you are not sure, the best way is this - don't like any wheel showing, go down in truck size, or want a wider more stable ride, then go up in truck size.
