Thunder width
« on: January 19, 2012, 02:32:05 PM »
I had always thought that 145s were 7.5, 147s were 8, and 149s were 8.5 like 129s, 139s, and 149s. But this makes me think different



Does anyone know the widths of the various sizes of thunder trucks? I had always thought that as long as I'm skating under an 8.25, I should stick with the 147s. is this true?

I skate an 8 and ride the 147s. A bit wider deck will also fit the 147

Nope. I ride an 8 (max) and skate 147s. Unless you want the SUPER magic carpet effect. Some extra board width doesn't bother me though.

Yeah that's what I had thought. weird that they would recommend them for an 8.1
