Default 130's vs. 155's

I'm getting one of those super cool silverfish edition loaded fish decks. I am going to run seismic trucks on it when I can afford them. Should I go with 130's or 155's?

Also: Any ideas on springs? (I weigh around 130)





My bad, posted in wrong section. Answer anyway, though. Thanks

I'm not sure how wide that deck is, but probably the Seismic 155s would be a better fit. Use the 30-degree model at the tail and the 45-degree model at the nose. At your bodyweight, the stock springs will give you a "medium" feel.

you will have to redrill for the seismics, and i believe it makes the board flexier. If i were you, i would stay away from them, and get some tracker 139's or 149's...

Enlighten us, ridesnow, why would one have to redrill a deck for trucks which have both newschool and oldschool mounting holes?

The stock set up has tracker 139's. I want to go with something different, more exciting. Otherwise I would go paris.

Any more advice?
