| I heard they arent. I don't even think BRR trucks are worth it now that I have a set.  |

So what you are saying, Y-Trucks are possible better than Black River Trucks? Thanks!  |

| It really depends on your preference. I've had both and in my opinion blackriver trucks are better for loose riding. They both are basically equal in smoothness when grinding. But I know people that prefer y's. Also, blackriver trucks are more responsive in my opinion. But again, that's just my preference. Not saying y's aren't awesome trucks though |

| It depends on your preference, it's different for all fingerboarders. Try out both and decide  I personally prefer Y Trucks after riding both. |

| After shooting through like three pairs of BRTs in less than a year before, I would have to say that I prefer every set of Ytrucks I've ever had, (which haven't ever broke on me)
plus you can use any wheels on Ytrucks. |

| pros of y's- any wheels, inverted kingpin rarely comes loose, axels never strip, no super glue needed
pros of brts- some people prefer shape, dont have to use special torx allen key screws, kingpin fits all bushings |

| Pretty much the Ford/Chevy conversation of the fingerboarding world imao, depends on your style and budget. Like anything else the best thing to do is get both and compare, subtle downsides either-way mostly around compatibility. Ultimately if your bored best to experiment with other brands so you don't loose your interest overall. |

| ...this thread again? Really?
It's all preference. I love my BRTs, don't like YTrucks and would really rather not use china...it's preference. Try stuff out if you fancy it, no one's opinion is really gonna help you decide. |

| Y trucks paint is terrible. Mine came off on the first grind. Brr trucks are alot better cuz theyre easier to screw into a board and the overall feeling is just better but y trucks are alot lighter |
