Arclite Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 My Indy 215's are getting wheelbite. I want a truck that wont get wheelbite, and that will still turn and slide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skully Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 My Indy 215's are getting wheelbite.I want a truck that wont get wheelbite, and that will still turn and slide. Keep the indy's and get risers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arclite Posted April 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 I have to ask what is the setup wheels/board/riser/trucks/bushings? Wheels, tangs. 75mm 86a. Board, no clue. risers, as of right now, 1/4" trucks, indy 215s bushings, soft elims on bottom, bitches on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the problem is 75mm wheels on a top mounted poolboard....OVERKILL... are you looking for a dual purpose street and park/pool wheel? if so look at something smaller and more turn friendly Mangotangs aren't bad wheels but ill suited at that size to a short WB board....more riser and a 70mm wheel or a 66mm wheel and your existing riser 75mm wheels excel for softwheel sliding on wheelbases in the 28"-34" range on drop, dropthough, double drop and even on the occasional topmount boards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arclite Posted April 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 I know, but right now, those are my (prepare for lack of betterword) most slidy-est freeride wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCrimson Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 75mm wheels in the pool? Yikes! Just glanced at my Slalom board on the wall with 70mm wheels and cringed. Is this on your Ceviche copy? I think the Fish was originally made for riding on Loaded's 65mm wheel. I wouldn't go any bigger than that, but Gecko probably knows way more about pool than I.

photodad2001 Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Keep the indy's and get risers. +1 215's are awesome. Try a smaller wheel. Bullet 66's were my wheel of choice, I'm sure you can find something comparable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're wrong with all of that haha. :p No, not the sashimi (23" wheelbase btw and made for 70mm wheels) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Gendzwill Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Don't you get hung up on the coping with 75 mm wheels? You just don't need that big a wheel. Not only that but 86 is really soft for that application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that but 86 is really soft for that application. I slide more than I ride pools and bowls. I like 86a for sliding. I really haven't tryed anything harder, except for the wheels on my skateboard which I have no idea what the specs are on that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
