9" AWS
169 Indy w/bones med
swiss
Bones B.A.K.U. STF 56mm

Preduce SBTG Cruiser - 7.5 x 30
Ace High 22's (7.5)
Preduce SBTG Cruiser Wheels 58mm 80duro
Bones Swiss L2's
Broken-in Soft Indy Barrel Bushings + Indy Pivot Cups
5/16 Soft Risers
Shorty's 1/4 Allen Head Hardware
Mob Grip

Really digging this cruiser so far... First time on a set of Ace's. I really like the way they turn, just couldn't stand the stock bushings they came with. They felt a bit too stiff, so I swapped em out for some broken-in Indy barrel bushings. Also, one of the pivot cups came split, so I had to swap those out as well. But yeah, the soft wheel / soft riser combo feels awesome. Charging through oatmeal asphalt feels like riding on glass...

Very nice. I'm jealous.

Haven't had a proper cruiser in a long time, so I'm pretty stoked that I was able to get the deck for cheap and frankenstein the rest of the setup.

This is a great looking setup. How wide is that board and what size trucks did you put on there?

Always wanted to put together a super wide cruiser, finally bit the bullet and did.
It's smooth and speedy, takes a bit of getting used to but it's a good time.

Grosso 9.25
Thunder 151's
SF 80HD 58mm
Spitfire burner bearings
Bones med bushings

Thinking about getting this maybe

Things a foot wide by 31... no nose concave tho so i might have to go for this 11.25 jammer:

Unless anyone knows anything else 10+ with a double kick/new school shape.

My Cruiser board is a DB Diamondback, it's a larger board but it has a great nose and tail. I love it!

Really wanted to buy a Brad Cromer board, but none were in my size :(

So I thought I should get a cruiser, going to get the Cromer 7.5

Suggestions for a wheel size?

The spitfire 80hd wheels are really nice. I have the 58s and I like them a lot. I think they make a 54 and a 56 too. I'd go big if you want to go fast and if you want something that is a bit different than your regular set up. 54s if you still want to be able to do a lot of flip tricks.

The powell rat bones reissues I've been riding on my cruser set up are sick if you want a softer non-slidey wheel. 60mm 85a. A little cumbersome for tricks tho.

Skating the Lucas/Chliche/4* board with Thunder 149 hi and 58mm Spit Cardiels for around town.  Soft wheels are so fun for cracks/rough streets.  I never really thought about a cruiser, but for errands and such it's way better than a normal set up.  Rough streets and sidewalks that used to suck are smooth now.

149s for sure. Though I'm actually Bout to put 139s on my p1 since I want to steal my 149s for my new regular set up. Should be a strange ride. Hover board stylee. I'll report back

please do. general consensus seems to be 149's, but the p3  shape is only 8.375, so it could go either way.

This is sort of just a quick fix cuz I like the turning on the stage 11 149s so much better than my stage 9 139s that I need em on my daily driver ASAP. I'll either replace the 139s with another set of 149s when the money is free, or try some ace 44s

As if I wasn't already confused enough by abec ratings and truck width....new durometer scales?  For years wheels came in one hardness....now we got A, B, C, D?  Just call it a 95A already......

Carry on....

How did you make that torn look on the grip tape?  Tearing it while the backing is still on?  Looks cool

Thanks dudes!
Yeah Pugmaster, you can just tear it in half before you peel off the back. You have to be super quick with it or it will get fucked up, and it never comes out the way you want it to, but it ends up looking pretty cool.

kinda torn on the 149's for the p3 i just got. it tapers to 8" at the back trucks, so 139 might be the go. wish they made an 8.25" truck.
