It’s funny, seems to be a lot feedback on Thunder that the trucks aren’t so good…
Wait… What?!?
Thunders are great trucks: pop is my favorite, pinch is fantastic, generally quite light, turn is practically telepathic it’s so quick to initiate.
Their only downside for me is that that same reactive turn is limited by how soon you get into wheelbite territory.
I don’t run risers, generally so at my preferred setting, I’m unable to ride anything above a 53mm wheel w/o getting pitched ass-over-teakettle coming out of anything fakie/switch because I suck & my technique is shit.
But Thunders… really solid trucks.
Just throw some risers under them if you ride ‘em looser & wanna run 54mm or up.
Somehow, after decades spent almost exclusively on Thunders, all of my set ups are now either Indy or Ace.
A tragic, really.
Def going to look into these new “T2” versions if they ever come out.
