How loose are your trucks?

[nicehat]

I need to get softer bushings but it's frustrating since I just bought full sets of blue and red khiros and they werent soft enough. Looks like I need some whites. and i'm 185lbs!

Khiro also makes an orange which is between white and blue. Also the bitch line from Khiro is a little meatier else I'd ride *just* barrels instead of barrel+cone combos. The khiro cone tops just feel like they don't do enough.

I like a turny, yet 'supportive' setup. Loose enough to turn really deep and lay out some fat carves, yet tight enough that it doesn't feel all floppy and silly and make yer wheels slide out all over the place. Although, now I'm saying that, I'm thinking about setting up a board that IS all loose and floppy and slides out all over the place...

My vanguard has blue bitches, tightened just enough to press the washers against the bushings. They still rattle like heck when I'm riding, but it turns soooo good.

Apparently mine are on the very loose side. Everytime someone asks to ride one of my boards, they put it on the ground, step on it, step off of it, hand it back to me, and say "You run your trucks too loose. I'll kill myself."

For me, very loose means more funnability.

Mine are pretty loose, but I think I'm going to try them out a touch looser on my way to rehearsal tonight. We'll see.

hey,
you want your trucks decently loose if your rocking a set of randles you want them to wear
it's crazy loose but you want to make sure your nuts dont come flying off "sounds bad <"
i have lost quite a few from vibration so just keep them loose but not "to" loose you know what i mean ??

So loose my back hanger fell off when I picked it up the other day. heh.

[mreep]

so loose i use lock tight to keeps the nut half way on. lol

[El Beefo]

You guys need longer kingpins or new locknut's. As long as the nylock part of the nut is engaged, it shouldn't matter how loosed the truck it.

I love them loose and since I ride Originals even loose feels tight.

[D.T.]

It's as loose as a cheap hooker.

Which is pretty loose like the nuts going to fall off.

What kind of cheap hooker are you buying that has loose, streched out nuts????

I love them loose and since I ride Originals even loose feels tight.

Originals - - loose like wizard's sleeve.

Hellcat with grizzlys that jiggle when you touch them.

I like to have them really really loose when I'm skating... just more comfortable like that. I used to have them tight but then I realized the joys of having it loose and I'm trying to get my friends to get loose now. I guess I can thank Marc Johnson for having that Q/A thing on Transworld Skateboarding.

For going fast it's not good to have them as tight as you can get them (trust me... I've had bad experiences with that) it's good to have them loose enough that you can carve out of the way if something is gonna be there.. Never a good idea to have them really loose though.

i cant ride any board that i cant steer with one foot. tight trucks feel way too sketchy too me, even when going fast i need to be able to turn as soon as i want too, i hate boards that lag in the turning cause the trucks are too tight

[SoCalBiz]

had my trucks loose for a while, but today during a dh run from work a guy ran a red light after my light was green for 5 secs. i safely dodged the truck but had speed wobble for going so fast. I still need to dial them in I guess.

how loose is your mom

OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[tinnmann]

Mine are hella loose. As for the locknut, if one were to turn the lock nut over, would it stil stay on? Because you could get another 1/8 inch out of maybe. Just a thought.
