How loose do you want your trucks?
I am finding it hard to find the optimum tightness can anyone give me some pointers as to what is good>?

[JamesT]

All personal preference.

Looser you can handle, the better.

[melifont monk]

agreed.

10 charred bushings.

[Ogre]

Agreed..it's all personal. But if you're having trouble dialing in what you want..try softer bushings.

This loose.

as long as I don't get wheelbite or wobbles nothing is too loose

[Shiyuchi]

If it's a topmount I go as loose as I can without getting wheelbite, but if it has cutout, I go as loose as I can before it starts rattling.

Stand on it, rock it around. Adjust. Rock around. Repeat

Looser trucks will train your legs and mind better. Anyone can ride a stiff plank down a hill. Its the better skaters who can hop on any board, tight or loose, and still be comfortable. I like to think my loose preference saved my ass on a 40mph run awhile back. Ran trucks wayyy too loose for the hill I was on, and probably had the worst possible speed wobbles anyone can ever have without dying. Kept my mind focused the whole time and thought positive all the way down and made it, if it were any of my friends who like to run VERY tight setups with their evo's n **** they would have fallen in a heartbeat. Its tough, but you'll be better off in the long run.

modest too.

I keep mine pretty tight, but I can really throw about 235 around pretty nice for some turns. Do what you feel comfortable with.
