What Trucks Should I Use on My Fingerboard?

Choosing the right fingerboard trucks is crucial for building a setup that performs well. If you're new to fingerboarding, understanding truck sizing and features can help you make the best choice for your riding style and budget.

Match Your Truck Width to Your Deck Width

The most important rule when selecting fingerboard trucks is to match the width to your deck. If you have a 32mm deck, you'll want 32mm trucks. If you have a 34mm deck, go with 34mm trucks. This ensures your wheels line up properly with the edges of your deck, giving you the most stable and realistic feel.

When your truck width matches your deck width:

• Your wheels won't stick out past the deck edges or sit too far inward

• Your setup will feel balanced and natural

If you can't find trucks that exactly match your deck width, choose the closest option available. A 1mm difference won't drastically affect your riding experience.
