Fresh phatty

Welcome slappy slap
New 169's
Old mandersons 56mm
Assorted bearings
Risers
Bones medium with bottom washer to keep stock height/geometry

Not really a cruiser but I figured I'd show it here with the shaped boards and whatnot.  The shape is beautiful and apparently based on an early 90's Blind/Gonz board. 

Thing's fucking fun
[close]



What do you think about the 169s for this shape, I picked up the Krampus on the same shape yesterday, and set it up with my 159s and then it rained, so I havent gotten to really ride it much, the little I did get to it felt like when you set up a 8.88 with 149s (a bit tippy with alot of leverage)  not awful just not a feeling that I enjoy. I get that its not really that big of a difference, and that its all in my head. I just really dont like kicking the axle when I push and i wanted to know if the 169 axles stick out at all bc eventhough its listed as a 9.5 board the tapper is pretty strong and the space at either of the axles is not even close to 9.5.


Stick w/ the 159's.
169's work best with 169's, specially that they are wider than they used to be.
Judge by the over the bolts width, not the belly of the beast.

Welcome - Elk (Basilisk shape) 8.8
Independent - Stage 11 159s
OJ Wheels - Keyframe "Plain Janes" 56mm 87a
Bones Swiss
Mob
Shorty's Hardware - 1" philips

I'll probably put a set of old bones mediums on after a bit depending on how I like these bushings.
For anyone who wants (what I think is) a perfect cruiser wheel, the OJ keyframes are incredible. They're soft enough that it's a breeze to skate rough terrain, but they're still hard enough to slide if you really put some effort into it.

It started as a cruiser, originally. But now, I'm skating it just as much, if not more than my normal set up.

SSame thing happened to me I skate mine more than my normal board. The keyframes defiantly weigh the board down a little and I wheel bite every now and then but its an awesome wheel and with swiss you haul ass

Just curious, is there a big difference between the 159, and the 149? I just thought it was kind of random when they released those.

Besides the overall length? -no, there is no real difference. The 149s are 8.5", the 159s are 8.75". They're the same shape and everything, the 159 just happens to be a tad longer in the axel and hangar.

Not much of a cruiser guy but decided to set one up due to a new job and skating through lots of cobble stone on my commute.

Scumco x Chromeball Corey Obrien board
Indy's
Reds
OJ Keyframe 87a wheels

So smooth.  And fast compared to my regular set up.

Welcome, stock 139s, 58mm 80Ds, risers, dramatic grip tape. I think that the 80Ds make it harder to ollie. They're just a tiny bit too soft. But for hauling, they're amazing. This shape kickflips like a dream and is fuckin' perfect for no-complys.
i saw my grandma bail off a 4 set once in my house and she even got up and came to red lobster after.

I totally agree about the 80d wheels. I can't skate mine for shit, but they're smooth as fuck.
