    Default Another narrow truck choice

    NHS is coming out with a 105mm version of their price-point Bullet truck. Straight-pivot design, newschool mounting holes, raw finish. Made someplace overseas. There's gotta be a demand for 'em, as they wouldn't make them "just because."

    so kinda like an Indy, but Asian?


    Hey I have a question - Tracker RTX has a straight pivot as does an Indy. Why does the Tracker feel normal to me and Indy feels weird? Is it some angle thing or something?

    Yeah, sort of an asian Indy. They already have a 129mm version, which apparently doesn't suck.

    As far as Indy v Tracker on the straight-pivot dealio, I dunno. Do you mean the narrow ones or wider ones?

    Like the Indy 101's vs the RTX 106mm.

    They feel totally different to me

    Mark,

    maybe, you could get GFH trucks, too.

    I've wondered about those trucks. Could you elaborate? Thanks

    Cheap and narrow. I had a friend win ONE at a race, yes, just one. He stripped it for parts and it sits in the corner of his room. It was to narrow to really do anything with. I wouldn't have even used it for ass puckering tight slalom.

    To the opposite end, I've found the 3" GFH truck to be well made and very worthy of more use than they get on mini boards. If you want to check one out, give me a ring before Pump Station, Stevie. I'll pull dig one up for you. It won't work as well as the truck you loaned me at Encinitas, though...

    Thanks Erik, definitely bring it.

    Ah yes, the 8mm axle x 88mm hanger, steel-ball-pivot-in-brass-cup Indy with trimmed Stims:


    I was hoping I could make something similar out of a GFH...
