    Default Zero Degree Trucks?

    Looking for trucks with zero turn (like a neutral steering truck) and can't find them. Any help?

    not sure if they are made, try the grom biz adjustable angle trucks though, not sure if they go to zero, but they get close. why don't you want to turn?

    I've seen Grom Biz, not sure I'd feel safe on them, but yes, they go to zero. I want zero turns because they eliminate speed wobble.

    Get a 28° Randal baseplate and de-wedge it.

    What do those baseplates/wedges cost, and will it get me a true zero?

    That Randal dh plate is like $30 and the Khiro wedge kit can be found for as little as $20 if you shop around. (not including shipping)

    When I've stacked the Khiro wedges I've had good results with them not slipping out of alignment.

    The only thing a stack of washer bushings is going to get you is loss of traction from the outside rear wheel lifting when you turn.

    that's what I thought. I guess I'll have to ride some Grom Biz and see how they feel.

    wait do you understand that you cant turn at all? whats the point? you need to learn to skate without getting wobbles. it takes practice. if you cant turn at all then why ride a skateboard. your gonna die

    first off i highly recommend practicing a bit to try and learn to eliminate speed wobble on your own
    id recoment tweaking bushing set ups
    decide if you want a carvy or stiff ride
    and also a company named veloz makes a zero degree truck

    I assume he is only talking about the rear truck. To have both trucks at zero degrees makes no sense whatsoever.

    yeah, grom biz is the only one i can think of. if you want something that doesnt turn though. just get some incredibly hard bushings and tighten them down to the point where they cant turn.
