I'm running cones in my Tracker RT-S. I've preferred Randal or Charger bushings, but was wondering if anyone was using barrels on their back truck. Bottom only?

I've always played around more with the set-up of the front Bennett and haven't experimented with the back so much. I found that the stock Tracker bushings were a bit on the soft side in the rear truck for LDP.

That works for me. I also put in a longer kingpin, grade 8.

I run either White Gullwing Charger stock bushings 92a or Red Bitch bushings 90a in the rear. I tried Blue Barrels at one point, but they were too soft. Going between 90a and 92a seems right for my setup. Give it a try.

I put a Bennett red urethane (90a) top bushing in the bottom of my Tracker and really like how it feels. Up until now I've only had conical bushings in that rear truck. I'm still running a white Charger in the top position.

my rear truck experiment for friday's ride: Lime Stim on bottom, Blue Bitch Bottom on top

any thoughts? I think it might be a tad too soft

well my rear is a 129 Thunder rather than a Tracker, but I use the medium Tracker bushings (bottom barrel, top conical) and they seem to work nicely.

yellow/orangey things with the swirl.

I'm 165 and I use yellow barrel bottom and red barrel top Khiros and it's great. I tried yellow all around and I didn't really dig it.
