Question

Do I need to leave my new Independent trucks loose at first to break in before tightening? I want 'em stiffer

Answer 1

nah its all personal preference, you want em tighter then tighten those bad boys up, you don't really "break them in"

Answer 2

No,I'd you want em tight tighten em up,that aqueak that you hear when you lean on your board will go away in a few days,the trucks just have to get used to the board

Answer 3

Indys do need to be broken in before tightening  them up.  Skate on the for two or three good sessions before setting them to your preference.  They get tighter as you skate them.  If you tighten them up too quickly, you can blow the bushings.
