Holes

To fit standard old school drilled trucks like Tracker Midtracks on a Stereo Vinyl Cruiser, Fish Skateboard or a Penny, there is a little drilling that needs to be done.  Some people say they have been able to just force the bolts through, but I have not experienced this, I have drilled all mine.  

A comment on another post asked for some pics of the holes drilled.  Here they are.

The Left is the stock hole.  Right is the drilled hole.  As you can see, we are not drilling a whole new hole, just opening up one side of the existing hole because the standard mounting hole pattern is just a little bit longer than the Penny / Vinyl / Fish mounting pattern.

This opens up our choice of trucks to anything really narrow and drilled for old school mounting.

Stereo Vinyl Cruiser Setup

I am done with this one I think.  This is the setup I like after trying a bunch of things with the Stereo Vinyl Cruiser.

Stereo Vinyl Cruiser deck with grip tape applied.

Tracker Midtracks, with Rt-S baseplate on the front and Dart baseplate on the rear.

Venom SHR olive barrel, 80a and Khiro yellow small cone, 92a on the front truck. 

Venom SHR yellow barrel, 83a and Khiro yellow small cone, 92a on the rear truck.

Bennett Aligators, 62mm and 78a.

Bones Swiss bearings.

Lucky 1" hardware.

Green Banana Lil Nanner

Just got this new deck set up, It is a Green Banana Lil Nanner.  I like the other Green Banana that I have and got this one to compare with the Penny and Flexdex decks I have in this size range.  It is set up with some older tracker B-2s, with Khiro inserts roadside and Venom barrels boardside.  Angled risers also, with the front wedged and the rear dewedged.  The wheels are Kyrptonics Classics, 62mm 78a, with bones reds. 

Tracker Stimulators

These are old Tracker Stimulators.  They came out of a set of Tracker Aggro Quicktracks.

The cone is 7/16ths tall and goes from 3/4" to 1" wide

The stepped one is 5/8" tall with the extra wide part being about 3/8" of that.  The stepped in part is an inch across and the wide part is about an inch and a quarter. 

Tracker Aggro Quicktracks

Damn Damn Hell Damn.

I found these Trackers with the one solo coffin cut wheel.  But like the wheel I cant ride them because the baseplate on one of the trucks was broken.  I remember getting these, I think they were the third set of trucks I had.  I remember the baseplate broke really quickly, and I think that was a common problem with these.  The upside is the bushings, I now have 2 sets of yellow stims that are old as hell, but were barely ridden.  I am going to get them in some trucks this week and see how they feel.

Old Red Composite? Board

This hangs in my friends garage.  It seems fun, but the bearings are in pretty bad shape.  I have a Penny Skateboard on the way that should be similar to this, just a little shorter, but with modern wheels and bearings.  I do not know about the trucks, or if they use standard mounting holes.  I will give them a try but have a set of Halftracks here that need a home.  Mmmmm... Penny deck, Tracker Midtracks, maybe some 62mm Bennett Alligators.  It sucks waiting on shipping.

Fledex Grenade

Flexdex Grenade, no concave, 23" long.  Setup with Tracker Midtracks and some Sector 9 wheels.

Soft wedge risers and Khiro bushings.
