So are BRT's worth the money or not?
People say that they have tons of great features like lock nuts for example.
But are they really worth €50?
I can afford BRT's so Im just wondering so I don't make stupid choises.
What are your experiences with BRT's?

Brt's are worth the money if you fingerboard a lot, if you think they're too expensive get td lb trucks and lock nuts. Just my opinion happy

they're really good, no doubt, but not worth 50€ imo
would gladely pay 30€ but not 50€, imo you'd be better off with Ytrucks

Iv'e heard that people prefer Ytrucks cause they're cheaper and has all the features of BRT's.

Chemistry sell 32mm trucks with locknuts, bushings and different colours, and they're shaped.

I've got BRT 2.0s, Wides, X3s and X4s. Wouldn't buy another set of YTrucks, but would happily buy any number of BRTs. Much better IMO.

Their trucks are just reshaped TD longboards. Personally. I'd rather just buy the TDs for $3 than $12, or whatever it is they're going for now.

I have both BRT wides and Y Trucks X4s (which I got today) my favourite is still BRTs, but Y Trucks are still pretty good.
They're both amazing trucks, but I think BRTs have a more solid feel, however, the Y Trucks grind smoother than my BRTs, I think that it might be because they're new, I shall let you know!

^ I think what he's saying is that for $3 you get the same performance (give or take a milligram) as the $12 set, just without a different shape and colour

^lol. They' fair enough, I dunno...I don't mind the shape of TDs anyway.

As for the baseplate s stripping, I must've switched my trucks around 15 times now over a year, never had a single problem happy

Personally trucks are my last priority on a fingerboard. I would rather have a sick deck and a sick set of wheels and have tuned TD wides.

But if you have the money go for them. Mine are amazing but trucks are the last thing you should buy for your setup.

Brts are nice, haven't stripped anything on them before so idk maybe some people try to tighten the crap out them on the baseplates.
Y's are basically the same price of brts if brts also came without a tool right???
I'm not on pc right now but I'll come back to that

I like brts no hate but y's fit any wheels he,

I've had almost 6 sets in my time, they're definitely worth the money as I've never had a single problem. Only worth it if you're going to use them a lot, but if you fb regularly that's not an issue.

if you want to pick them up from fingersized who knows, I might be persuaded to give you free shipping to show how rad brts are very happy

Every single pair of BRTs I've had has had troubles with everything. Bases strip, axles strip, kingpins have even snapped. Just gross trucks in general.

They are worth it! The pivot system is fucking amazing and the grind is sooooo much nicer than tech deck trucks.

BRTs are good trucks, not worth $65 but if they were around $40
they'd be even better.

I'd get some chemistry's. I've had my BRT's for like 2 months, and I wouldn't say they're worth it. But it's kind of one of those things every fingerboarder has to try, ya know? See they live up to the hype.
