    Default rt-s + randal combo?

    I was wondering how a rt-s back and randal front combo would ride?

    I know the rt-s back would be 106 so it'd be a bit narrower. Im guessing that would hurt the stability??

    well, the Race Track series come in 106, 129, 139 and 149 mm, so the size wouldn't be too big an issue if you bought the right truck.

    It probably wouldn't really be worthwhile though. Sort of defeats the purpose of what the race track series is designed for. I mean, it would probably ride ok, but, for slalom, pumping or quick turn, I think the RTX would be a way better front truck, and for cruising and speedier stuff, the randal would be a better back truck.

    Yeah, if you could cut a Randal down to say, 120 or so, and do the same to an RT-S, it might be a viable solution.

    Something to keep in mind, the Randals gonna sit a lot higher, so the RT-S would need more risers to keep things even (unless you dont mind having that shift).

    or cut the randal down to 100 and have it be able to space out to 120. then run the randal flat up front and dewedge that rt-s rear with a hard 5. so everything should come out approximately the same height.
