help with Tracker rts/rtx on a chicago pumper

**cheeto101** · 06-12-2007 02:02 PM

Alright, just got my brandspankin new Chicago Pumper and the board is sexy as hell. Has some great pop and the blue flowers are nothing but killer. Problem Im having tho is eliminating the wheelbite. The board comes with tracker rts/rtx trucks and 70mm zig zags. Now granted Im a bit of a fatass at 215, but ive tried everything from tightening the hell out of my trucks to putting another riser on (i think im up to 3/4 inch).

Any suggestions?

rts/x trucks looooove to bite. they turn friggin deep, even with harder bushings. more riser is the best solution. you don't want to make the trucks too tight because then they won't pump well.

use 2 wedged risers on the front, and you should be fine. The wedge will give you more clearance than just a flat riser, plus it will turn better. I'm around 190, and that's how I have mine setup with no serious wheelbite issues.
