I asked this question in the big board thread but no response.
I got a rudy Johnson fucked up blink kids 8.98 14 wb going to buy indys before I do I'm thinking 159's ? Or ??
Some advice feeling the madness and wanna buy a pair of trucks for this asap
you finally come to the dark side of old man/ big shapes? I rocked ace 44s on my 8.75 Chico chocolate board and it was totally fine. It’s going to come down to how much taper the deck has around the trucks (Chico’s has tonnes on the nose end). Do you have a pair of 149s on hand? Chico DM-ed me the other day and said he ran his shape with either 149s or 159s. BUT judging by his recent footage he could literally skate any setup.
Do you want stability or ability to flip the board more? Another slap trick is to put two washers on the inside of the wheel to push them out a bit further.
I’d measure the width over the truck areas and then go from there 🤔
There’s a guy in the big boy thread with 148s on a 9.25 girl and it looks fine
