Truck Sizes

[jacostilllives]

Hey can someone please explain the difference between truck sizes..like 150mm 180mm etc.. what are the advantages and disadvantages. thanks

search around a little, there is a plethora of information on here. Put very simply, 150`s will turn quicker than 180`s, while the greater stablity goes to the wider trucks.

what he said is so true it hurts, but there is one more thing to determine truck size, board width. 150mm trucks dont really work with boards that are 10 + inches wide. so you might wanna look into board setup just as much as specific feels, because a quick turning/very wide and long/ speedboard, just doenst work they you want it to.

i just thought about it in my head yesterday about wider trucks being more stbale; think about it this way to explain it: have your elbow act as the center of the truck and move your arm over something between your fingers and the elbow and watch how much your arm has to move, now do this but have it move over the object at your fingers and now watch how much the object has to move...there

150mm trucks dont really work with boards that are 10 + inches wide.

Sure they do if you are using wide sideset wheels such as Flashbacks or Gumballs. I run that exact combo on my EdEconomy deck and would not recommend trucks any wider for it.
