Is anybody rockin powell peralta mini cubics ? set up question
« on: December 31, 2018, 08:51:42 AM »
They are so wide and deep I'm wondering how much length they add to your axle wheel to wheel? I want to make a BA KU jersey barrier set up but with Aces and if it cant be done with these then I might have to go with a something else. So what I'm proposing is a measurement of whatever truck you have axle to axle then put the wheels back on and then another measurement wheel to wheel from the furthest outside wheel wall to other furthest outside wheel wall then I can add the difference to the different Ace contenders and get a nice setup. I figure somebody has got to have a set of these with so many old dudes.

I measured them with an Indy 149

Axle tip to tip, just under 8.5 inches
Shoulders of the hanger, 5 3/4 inches
Outer shoulders of wheels, 9 3/4 inches
Inner shoulders of wheels, just under 5 1/2 inches.

Weight of wheel with bearings and spacers 178 grams.

I bought these for nostalgia reasons and they are my favorite soft wheel that I've tried.  I've also used Bones ATF, OJ Mini Juice, and Spitfie 80HD chargers.  All the other ones are so soft that they don't grip.  They start tearing instead.  So when I carve around my car on my steep driveway the board is on the verge of sliding out.

These 95 though are soft enough to be a smooth quiet ride, but no worries about sliding out.  They make the board heavy though.

Nice so if Im reading you right the wheels add a full 1 and 1/4 inches to the over all width so theoretically the Ace 8.0 axles would be buried within 9.25 of over all wheel to wheel width?

thanks this will help me make ordering the parts a lot easier.
