Original Truck Springs - White Heavy Tension
White (Heavy) Tension Springs for Original Longboard Trucks
White Heavy-Tension springs will leave your Original longboard trucks feeling much more similar to a traditional randal or paris type longboard truck... unless you are a bigger guy, in which case you will have all the quickness you expect from Originals, with all of the resistance a bigger body requires. For riders weighing 200Lbs or over, or for lighter weight longboarders looking looking to handle more speed, we recommend at least trying a pair of White (heavy) tension springs for your Original longboard trucks. They put a completely different spin on Original trucks.

You should only tighten your Original longboard trucks to the point where the top of the white WaveCam (plastic piece in the back of the truck) is flush with the top the metal tube that holds it.
If you like your trucks tighter than that, if you are coming from traditional longboard trucks (bushing resistance or dual spring resistance) or if you feel like you need more snap back to center out of the box, definitely try out a set of heavier tension springs; either in red (medium) or white (heavy) tensions.
