thanks!



i've been using this, and I've gotta say its been working really well.  i'm not skilled with spraypaint whatsoever, and this stuff is really easy to work with.  i lay it out on a chair outside, and keep the can moving when i paint.  goes on nice and thick and scrapes off nice when it slides.  shitty chipping paint is a pet peeve of mine, which is why ive been going with the blanks + paint

I just read an article from This Old House on painting furniture and they recommend rustoleum also. They specify universal. Check the link out. Universal makes a clear coat to go over the paint. That might make it harder.

Painting outside in NO. Just pick a non-humid day or you will have an orange peel fest.

Someone else on this board put me onto this paint and its very very good
Goes straight over graphics in one coat and the finish is dope

This is the best post ever in Slap history without a doubt.

I want to let you guys know that I was following Stickergate from the beginning and what a wild ride.  Loved it.

Clutch blank 8.25.  Red/Orange wood sprayed white
Ace 44s
Spitfire 52mm tablets
Swiss

really loving these tablets.  i think these are gonna be my go-to for a while

kinda feeling like going a little smaller than 8.25, but have got a few more blanks to get through first.  Anyone use Ace 44s with an 8.1 or should i go with 33s?

I just set up an 8.125 polar on Ace 44s and honestly can't tell the difference from them being set up on an 8.25. I see a little more wheel on each side, but nothing really noticeable. Besides, I would rather have 44s on an 8.125 than 33s. Just my personal preference though.

you guys know i love you, right?

Not going to get to skate for a while because of the snow, but I wanted to set this up. I like the new crail wood and but have only skated the shapes and wanted to try a pop. Hyped to get out there once the snow goes.

I've been really into crooked grinds and haven't been happy with Ace or Indy so I put the Ventures on my last board and immediately loved them. Now I'm debating getting some 5.6s again. The madness doesn't end.

8.5 with 5.6s are the way to go. even with 78a bushings you have to force wheelbite

@off you got my madness sparked. I ordered some 5.6 hollows, worst case scenario I have some forged plates to swap back and forth.

Had the Pass~Port in the middle on Indy’s for a while and the thing wouldn’t die, but I got quite bored of it. Set it up with my Thunders “just to try” and it was much better, breathed new life into it. Had the 8.25 (purple) and 8 (orange) Carpet on ice and they have a bit steeper nose, but otherwise similar dims. Hoping it works.

Carpet 8.25”
Thunder Team Hollow plates, 148 Ti Lite hangers (Team Ti Hollow? Not sure what this combo is)

1st time doing 149s on 8.25. Might hate it but here we go...

[ballintoohard]

On fuller decks 149 feel mostly fine, but the steeper decks tend to let the wheels peek out more

id recommend running the cast plates with the hollow hangers on 14.25 WB, worked well in my experience.

flat washers are vital if you ride loose. never rode a cupped washer from any brand that didnt give a turn delay and its really unnecessary/redundant with ventures, i run flats top and bottom. you should be able to run a lot softer bushings than normal because the stability isnt lost as long as they are barrels. riptides if you are gonna lean into the madness but you wont be disappointed.

two inside washers for the perfect amount of magic carpet. cant tell you the last time i got wheelbite with a 8.5/5.6 combo riding wheels 52mm and under.

I will say, its funny but this time is the first in ages that I've run ventures straight up stock and I've been super into it. I almost always do a harder bushing and flat washer, but for whatever reason these were going just right (at least on the last board I had them on).

I'm usually not a fan of forged plates, but I had some 5.6 lights back in the spring and I liked how low they were. I figure having the option in my kit is worth it.

This should have been the last post of the set up thread. We should have made a separate topic named, "Lesser Set-Ups of Mere Mortals" to post our shitty set ups.

I say we move this thread to Classic Slap and start a new one in Shoes & Gear. We have peaked as a message board and this post must be preserved.

Imagine being the poor soul that has to follow this up. Or the person that put so much love into a set up just to post it without seeing this was the previous one? I’d have to focus my board.

I just keep thinking of that single Indy 215 I have sitting at the back of the cupboard, that never had another 215 truck to go with it and waiting for that day when someone somewhere asks if I have just one single 215 truck...

But every time I see this, I keep thinking maybe I should just send it to the owner of this board, just so they can put them together on a 10 inch nasty and be done with it.

I looked closer, yes mids, with 55mm wheels. 

Interesting to hear if you get wheelbite with that combo.
