    Default measuring trackers

    Hi, all. Been lurking here for a while, and finally decided to register.

    I have a question - how do you determine the size of a Tracker truck? I want to get the RT slalom trucks, but don't know how to measure the size. Would the 129mm truck be the width of the hanger, or the whole axle?

    Thanks!

    129 is the hanger width. Mile High Mark has them:

    i have 129s theyre really nice but a little wide for really doing hard slalom courses, i use center set wheels to make it more narrow sometimes

    For a general rule of thumb, you'll want a truck around 106mm for tight and hybrid slalom, and 129mm works best for giant slalom applications.

    i have the 86mm midtracks and with soft bones hardcore bushings they turn like a mofo....with the zigzags i have on them right now they end up being about 7 inches or so from the end of one wheel to the end of the other
