Why wedging the Bennett's 15°I was wondering what is the reason to wedge Bennett trucks so much , they steer a lot without wedging . Is there another reason ?
Please let me know , Thanks

I recently went from 15 degrees to 12 degrees and I think I could climb hills better at 15 degrees. Some people prefer less wedging on the Bennett. Get a wedge kit and play around.

yeah i think that kinda nails it. i've seen a lot of slalom setups going to 10 degrees which makes a lot of sense since gravity is usually working in your favor. but on pure flatland and incline, the 15 degree starts to make more sense. it turns so much it creates a tacking/surfing motion.
