heujjj,
My setup is an 8 inch board, with thunder lows en 50 mm'ers. My trucks aren't too loose i think. Sow why am i having wheelbites with the slightest turns i make. After 2 weeks I'm allready through the first ply of wood.
Friends that also skate 8 inchers or plus with looser trucks haven't got the problem.
Should i get new rubbers? I don't want to get my trucks tighter because i prefer wheelbites over tighter trucks. But the most I prefer is no wheelbites.
Thanks in advance.
-
get rid of the low trucks
-
^ what he said. i'd go with mids, thats what i skate and i don't get wheel bites.
-
if you dont have access to new trucks, put wax under the the board right above the wheels. sounds dumb but it works
-
middy trucks and some fifty four's. that'll doit.
-
low trucks that are loose will give you wheelbite everytime.
-
venture mids will work well....
i still use riser pads these days.... i dont care what anyone says they make the board feel better, and the trucks rattle less....

what are you guys telling this kid?! he said he has 50mm wheels. i skate lows w/ 53mm without wheelbite. id say its a bushing/pivot cap problem. get some new dohdohs cuz your shits probably worn out.

yeah what are you guys telling me??? I'm a poor 14 year old emo kid and everything I do is wrong :-[ :-[ :-[
no, but the last comment was the best. I got some new bushings and I can skate looser without wheelbites.
cheers reedo
