Went ahead and re-set up the PS Stix deck (red wheels), since the wheelbite was legit on the BBS (green wheels).
Put my JOGGER Sure Grip roller skate trucks on the BBS, since the truck has about 3/8" more axle height than the
ACS trucks. Switched over the Powerdyne 82A bottom barrels on all trucks, keeping the 78A top barrels.
The BBS now doesn't wheel bite on frontside turns, but feels completely different than the OG deck. I think I prefer
the OG, it's lower to the ground and can turn super sharp in a pinch.
But my foot does like the flat of the BBS, it's easier on the arches for sure.
Ultimately, I think I like the PS Stix better. It's more unique and once you get accustomed to the convex, it feels much more
surfy.
I used to give so many friends shit for being so meticulous about their setups and which woodshops their decks came from, and now I understand.
