I have no complaints with 54 mm, I do get a little wheel bite now and then but just wax those areas and don’t notice it when I’m skating. I have a top hard bushing and a lower medium, I find it lets me have them on the looser side but pinches more as it gets close to biting.

 These are my first low trucks in probably 10 years and liking them a lot. I have some 58’s though I use for transition, like a dumbass I didn’t think about it when I switched to the 58’s and got wheel bite bad and it threw me

it’s a polish woodshop called locals, they sell packs of these blanks, they’re good, this is i think my fifth one. if you’re in the usa i think the krooked manderson shape and some magenta and limosine 8.38s have similar dimensions

[augustmoon]

got this Workshop Thomas Morgan reissue on sale for 30 bucks.  taking a break from skating for a little bit to give my hip a rest, but set this up for when i next skate again

Especially with how skinny the trucks look with the chubby deck. Fingerboard AF

Now this is a sick set up. There's something about old yellow wheels that are so satisfying to me. I've always thought they looked cooler than fresh white wheels.

Got the madness and switched up a lot stuff. I've been on Ace for about a year and missed the thunder pop feel. The deck has interesting dimensions (14.25 WB/7.25 N/7.0 T/32.3 L) that actually work really good for me. Pretty stoked on the setup so far and was happily surprised to get a free beer coozie in the shrink wrap of the board.

Anti Hero “Easy Rider” 8.5”
Venture V-Lights 5.8 w/black Indy bushings
52mm Spitfire Conical-Fulls 99DU
Bones Super Reds
7/8 Silverado’s (Allen)
Pepper XG

This is my 3rd “Easy Rider” (first 2 being the Real 8.25” w/ 14” wheelbase). All the talk of shorter wheelbases originally had me convinced. But at 6’2”, I’m starting to wonder if a longer WB would suit me better (hence the AH eagle with 14.25”). Got an Ishod “Easy Rider” 8.38 with a 14.5” WB on ice.
