So I tried 3 boards today that were all 8.5 with 14.25 WB. Hockey Fitz with 159 Indy TiTs, Colony with 149 TiTs, and red curbs Shop board (clutch) with ace 44s. Indys both had 52 mm wheels and the aces had 53/54s. At first I was convinced the indys were turning much quicker but then I realized it was mostly because they were in my hot car all day. Indy setups definitely made my ollies feel more floaty. But I ended up getting less wheelbite with the aces even tho they had bigger wheels. Slappies were easier on the 159s and 44s. Kickflips were easier on the 44s and 149s. Backside flips felt like they wouldn’t even happen on the 159s. I decided I’ll take the weirder/slower grinds to gain the benefit of more stability and less wheelbite with aces on my 8.5 setups (going back to 52 mm wheels). I will be sticking with 159 TiTs on my bigger setups (currently polar 1991 shape) with 52s for easier slappies and less weight on a bigger board. My madness is over for now, but I’ll be in here everyday regardless.
