Which came first: the Trackers with the hard white plastic pivot cups/ smaller hanger pivots
-Or-
Larger black rubber pivot cups/ larger hanger pivots?
Thanks~ Tina

From what I learned from a conversation with Ed E., the small ones came first. Too many people were breaking them riding vert and caused the introduction of the thicker, or "gnarly" models.
I have a set of original small pivots I put on my Turner after asking Ed, who agreed that the smaller pivots are faster turning, better for slalom. |

I think that the geometry of the truck has more to dictate the speed of turning rather than the size of the pivot. Could be wrong, and that wouldn't be the first time today either. The bigger difference I thought was the replaceable kingpin found on the "gnarly" pivot trackers as opposed to the molded in kingpin of the small pivot trackers.
