    Default Setting up Rads

    Just got a set. Even outta the box that rear truck is pretty amazing. I'm gonna be fooling around with the setup options but I'm curious as to how other folks have set theirs up for the kinda riding they do. Anyone with Rad experience got any sage advice for me?
    Thanks.

    my advice is go to http://www.slalomskateboarder.com/phpBB/ and ask there....because there is a section for radikal trucks and many of the world's top pros are on that site

    I wedge my front 5 degrees. Rear is flat.
    clear red front, clear green rear

    do not use kingpin nut to tighten the truck, you have to change bushings to do so, otherwise you can snap the kingpin.

    There's a lot of ways to set them up. I saw Jack Smith run them at Bicknell (clean) with hard green bushings front and rear. Me, standard red/clear on the front GS and shaved gum drops front TS. There's ways to keep the bushing stack the right height with different bushings than stock. Your new best friend is a 7mm nutdriver.
