Are both your front and back trucks the same tightness? Or is the nose looser, vice versa?

Boomhauer · « **Reply #1 on:** January 20, 2011, 09:09:28 PM »

I try to keep them at the same level of toightness. On a related note, I feel like my indys suck, even with bones bushings...

my back truck is a little looser than my front

Archers of Chaka · « **Reply #4 on:** January 21, 2011, 12:46:45 AM »

I just slap em on and skate em how they come; no adjustments at all. Usually the back truck always ends up becoming looser though for some reason.

A.J.K. · « **Reply #5 on:** January 21, 2011, 07:00:26 AM »

Naturally your back truck will get looser because there's usually more weight on it.

ChildoftheGhetto · « **Reply #6 on:** January 21, 2011, 08:38:17 AM »

I think mine are about the same. I skate switch and regular almost the same amount. like 40/60

My front truck is looser.
A tiny little bit i think

DeerTay · « **Reply #9 on:** January 21, 2011, 02:30:32 PM »

Yea front truck is a tiny bit looser than the back, it's probably not a noticeable difference to anyone but me.

Filip · « **Reply #10 on:** January 22, 2011, 03:05:28 AM »

My front used to be a little looser for the longest time, but since I learned switch crooked grinds, I find it better if the back one is same as the front one, and now they are both super loose, and its great.

yeah, man. i can't exactly say what it is, i guess not responsive enough or they don't do what i want them to do at times? if that makes sense. and i really don't feel like dropping $50+ to test the waters on other trucks.

Mine have to be as close as you can get to the same amount of tightness. Also, I have to have the thunder truck with the lightning bolt on the baseplate as my back truck.

bakedRice · « **Reply #13 on:** January 27, 2011, 07:59:51 PM »

gotta be able to carve and swerve around. i try to keep them the same looseness, just before wheelbite

Tarquin · « **Reply #14 on:** January 27, 2011, 08:29:38 PM »

I like my trucks how I like my women. Loose and independent.

My front truck is slightly looser than the back.

dankradschwag · « **Reply #15 on:** January 28, 2011, 09:14:11 AM »

idk if ones looser, but they're both pretty loose. i try to get my front a little looser, better turning. trying to ride other ppls shit sucks, i feel like i cant even turn at all. dont get how ppl skate tight trucks at all

once you go loose, your so used to just being so easily able to just move your weight around on your push that on the first 2 pushes you usually cant even steady yourself on the thing, the tightest i can go is like medium, anything above feels like its on straight train tracks or something.

My front truck is sort've loose, but my back truck is really loose.

pizzafliptofakie · « **Reply #18 on:** January 29, 2011, 12:51:54 PM »

The minor difference isn't intended, but there is one. Whatever though.

Both are loose, but the front may be a little looser

front is a little looser

vince the stud · « **Reply #22 on:** February 09, 2011, 07:42:44 AM »

yellow bone on the back one

blue bone on the front one

gnarnel · « **Reply #23 on:** February 09, 2011, 10:01:53 PM »

there both pretty loose but i like to keep them equal i used to have my front truck looser because it makes it easyer to turn but i just decided to make both loose so that moving switch can be easyer too.

Cockaigne · « **Reply #24 on:** February 10, 2011, 12:17:43 PM »

I like front trucks a bit looser, but not so much.....

though right now, i'm frustrated as hell. I have a pair of Thunders which are fine, just my turning..... but the wheels and bearings are wearing out..... So I wanted to change the wheels, but the nut on the end is stuck.

So now I've put the new wheels and trucks on an old pair of KrindGing's, but on those the kingpin is unchangable, and really really loose.
To the point that I get speedwobbles when I drop a regular quarter. I don't know what to dooooooo.....

back truck rattles a lot.
front truck rattles a little.

dankradschwag · « **Reply #26 on:** February 10, 2011, 02:31:35 PM »
