if they made 109s in stage 8 they should be drilled for both,
but this deck has the old school bolt pattern so i should be good |

Eddies,
To make your setup easy to turn and super fun to pump (particularly if you're a lightweight) you should try the following:
Switch the kingpins in your indy 129s for longer ones. They seem to be pre-Stage 9 so it should be pretty easy. Then but 2 white Khiro barrel bushings in the front one. And 1 blue barrel on the bottom and one white barrel on the top of the rear one.
But if you don't have those parts already and don't want to spend more money on your setup, at least change the stock bushings from the front truck to the softest ones you have. It will make a big difference.
Have fun!  |

It's the other way around. Harder in the front for more speed and better reaction, and softer in the back for more traction.
Stubbs likes it hard in the back.  |
