NOOB, truck length??

[braindamaged]

Hey,
Sorry, but I´m a completley noob in riding the pool and I need trucks for my oldschool pool deck, so I don´t have a clue which trucks would make me happy...
The question is:
Which Truck lengths would you recommend?129ers, 149ers or 169ers??

I just wanna have fun in the bowl, with carving, grinding, airs,...

Thanks,
Stefan

all about the width of the board... the "rule of thumb" i've come across most (and i prefer, myself) is that the board should sit vertical -- not leaning towards the bottom or the top -- when the trucks and wheels are mounted. so, the outer edge of the wheels should the same width as the WIDEST part of the board.

I generally keep the track width (overall truck and wheel width) within 1/4 inch of the deck's width, with a preference for slightly too narrow over slightly too wide.

Probably 169's but it really depends on how wide your oldschool deck
is? and the wheels that you are using?
