Normal or wide brr trucks with a 31mm deck?

Wide with Oaks. Because the have a centralised bearing you lose a bit of width, so they tend to fit well. Callum, for example, is currently using Wides with Oaks on a 30mm deck. If you wanna use FF or Winklers though, go with 2.0s.

Ok sweet that information helped me a lot! I am probably going to get a 32mm and a 30mm with the brt wides. I was already planning on getting oak rv white plus wheels.

Yeah dude!
I see your in Cali, you should grab em from my webshop in a couple weeks!

Ye but you have to use Riptape for ages before it wears in.

Stick it in your butt..

No joke! Martin Winkler, Mike Schneider and all other pros do this with great succes.

After using it every so often, grab some regular old clear tape, and put over the Riptape, then peal it back off. It cleans it up and it also wears it in.

Why wouldn't you just go with what you think would be best for you? Go through both websites and decide for yourself. You'll be more happy with it in the end.

okay thanks gunner

Yea dude, personally, you really have to try both to see how they preform. imo, Y's look more like real skateboard trucks, but BRT hangars are the smoothest grind on ANYTHING.

Do brt hangers fit on y trucks baseplates?

zach yes

It's a really weird fit. I've tried it, but it made the brt hanger go up really weird and rub on the kingpin. Ytrucks go nice on brt bases though. I've done both.

Does anybody know how long it takes to get accepted at FFI? Just registred and it's kinda weird lol

Don't bother haha I registered about 5 months ago, here is the way to go dude, FFI died years ago #FBHQ for lifeeee!

Mine took a couple of days but as morrow said fbhq is much better

Zach wrote:

Yeah, it's literally the best thing ever haha it looks so good and they preform amazing because the kingpin is so set in to the hangar that your truck will literally NEVER catch up on anything on any angle! Still waiting for my X4's from TNP then I'll have BRT baseplates and Y hangars, and the opposite on my setup!!
