GS Truck Setup

[Steve Collins]

One of my favorite front trucks for GS is the Midtrack, which is has essentially the same geometry as the Dart and RTS. Mine has a modded axle and is spaced out to 105mm. I think the "bent pivot" geometry can make for a good GS front end.

A dart is different than a RTX. The Dart has a bent pivot and the RTX has a straight, indy style pivot. Most people would suggest a straight pivot for a front truck. A Indy 129, Tracker RTX 129, Bennet 5.0, or a Fury 7.5 would all make good front trucks (the indy and fury come in both low and high models).

I've got a 129. I'll set it up.

Thanks for the advice!

There are a lot of widths for Tracker Dart. Are you talkin about 129, 139 or 149?

I rode Tracker RT-X 129 with Split fire on wide configuration, so near of what you're talkin' about and it works... I even beat Luca's time on Slalom Giant on the Garoupe spot (Antibes WC 2005)

Now I personally enjoy the feature of the GOG front truck that can be set to 12Xmm with spacers (no problem of unfindable axle)

By all means it's worth a try! Wedge it steep

[T Whalen]

In past years I've always run trucks with hangers between 90 to 105 mm for GS. I don't have any front "performance" truck between 120 to 130 mm, I was wondering if using a Tracker Dart up front wedged heavily with a Splitfire spaced to 127 mm would be worth trying to set up? The Dart is the only other truck I currently have with a hanger larger than 105 mm and less than 150 mm.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for the help!
