Trucks for a City Bomber

guroo · 10-09-2007, 05:52 PM

I really want to get a new small cruising board and was looking at the insect city bomber. Is there any difference between siemics and tracker 139mm racetracks? I really want to be able to pump and carve on it well.

The seismics are spring bushing trucks which i've never ridden on, you can read up on them with the search feature. The racetracks are a combo of a straight pivot loose truck up front and a bent pivot stable truck in the back. Great for pumping.

So the racetracks won't be bad for pumping and they're $20 less. I just don't know if it is worth drop the extra 20 dollars if the siemics aren't any better.

I say go with the trackers. Conventional trucks seem to perfect for the flex of small pumpers like the City Bomber, and they're quick, but stable. The Seismic trucks seem to pull back to center too quickly for my taste. Buy yourself some stims for your trackers, and do a little wedging, and you'll be golden.

if you just wanna pump id go with a bennett/RTS combo (thats how mines setup) whatever you do id go with 106mm trucks and sideset/offset wheels,

I stood on yours in the shop and it felt very high with the hawgs on, thats why im think like 66mm or 62mm. The paris also are very squeaky and I've never really liked their feel.

I forgot about bennets. They would work great I i just can't decide between 4.3 and 5.0.

I've been told that a Seismic rear / RTX front is a great pumping setup.

Sounds interesting. I haven't had any experience with siesmics, so I don't know. I'm leaning towards bennets or RTS/RTX.
