Compatible Truck Sizes

The Independent Trucks 144 Stage 11 Hollow Fabiana Delfino Black Pair comes with an 8.25" axle width, perfectly matching decks from 8.125" to 8.375". If replacing with alternative trucks, the following sizes from Independent Trucks and Venture Trucks are compatible:

Independent Trucks:

• Size 139 (8.0" axle width): Slightly narrower but compatible, offering a more agile feel for decks around 8.125".
• Size 149 (8.5" axle width): Slightly wider but compatible, providing extra stability for decks around 8.375".

Venture Trucks:

• Size 5.6 (8.25" axle width): Ideal match for 8.125" to 8.375" decks, delivering lightweight performance and responsive turning.
• Size 5.2 (8.0" axle width): Slightly narrower but works well for decks around 8.125", offering a nimble setup.

General Guideline: Trucks with an 8.25" axle width (Independent 144 or Venture 5.6) are the best match for decks from 8.125" to 8.375", while 8.0" trucks (Independent 139 or Venture 5.2) offer a slightly narrower stance for agility.

Wheel Sizes

The Independent Trucks 144 Stage 11 Hollow Fabiana Delfino Black Pair is optimized for wheels 56mm and under due to its 55mm height. Compatible wheel sizes for typical 8.125" to 8.375" decks include:

• 50-52mm: Ideal for technical street skating. Smaller wheels lower the center of gravity, enhancing control for flip tricks and grinds on ledges or rails. Recommended with low trucks to avoid wheelbite.
• 53-54mm: A balanced choice for street and park skating. These wheels provide a mix of speed and maneuverability, perfect for most skaters using this truck size.
• 55-56mm: Suited for skateparks or mixed terrain. Larger wheels offer faster rolls and smoother rides over cracks or ramps, best with risers if needed to prevent wheelbite.
• General Guideline: For 8.125" to 8.375" decks with these trucks, 50-54mm wheels are most popular for street-focused setups, while 54-56mm wheels are better for park or transition skating. Opt for harder wheels (83A or higher) for street and softer wheels (80A-83A) for skatepark surfaces.
