    The general rule of thumb is 60% of the weight on the front trucks, 40% on the back.
    You bought aluge? Is it drilled for the trucks?

    I would suggest contacting the Rogers bros at rogers-bros.com about their shields.

    Yeah its drilled for trucks I think he said it had z rollers on it. I was looking at the randal 205mm ones? Unless there is a better option But as far as bearings and wheels don't really have any idea.... And I've emailed roger bros a couple time and haven't got a response. ThanX

    How many trucks? Back truck should be under the back of your head. Feel free to move it around and see what works for you, there are plenty of options.

    The front trucks should be as close to your butt as possible. When I had mine, the mid truck (3 truck setup) was as far aft as it would go.

    Feel free to post up on street-luge.com. Might get a stronger response over there.
