That’s a cool set up up.. very nice.. interested to know option on Andale Swiss
i was given a new set which I’m not going to skate anytime soon..

7.875 is a weird size for trucks where i can 5.0 or 5.25

Ive done both with 129 and 139 indys.. still unsure which i prefer

I can't say much about the ones that come in the blue box.

The ones with the white shields are fantastic. They're fast, the shields are fucking tough as nails. I haven't had any shields pop off or had any broken cages. It has the labyrinth race design keeps your bearing cleaner. I highly highly highly recommend the new andale swiss despite whatever experience anyone's had with the other pro-rated bearings.

As for trucks, I like a wider axle. It gives me more room to grind and feels more stable. So i would rather do with a 139/5.2/147 on my 7.8.

I didn't realize it until you described them but those Andales sound similar to the Swiss Hard Lucks I have. Particularly the durable white shields. I wonder if they are just a rebrand of the same product? They're very nice, wherever they come from.

I am also partial to 44s on the DLX 8.62. Your set up speaks to me.

Damn 44s on an 8.6 would bug the shit out of me, I've been on dlx 8.38s with 44s for the last year or so and they fit perfect. I used to skate 55s on an 8.75 for a long time, when I went down in size I tried 8.5 with 44s and the trucks felt too skinny.

Like tzhangdox said, I run two speed rings inside each wheel, which increases track by 4mm. There's enough room on the axle to run 4 speed rings! This plus a wide wheel and you can get it close to flush.

I've got a pair of 55's, but for me too wide is far worse than too narrow.

I believe that the hard luck swiss have "made in swiss" print on the races. The new andale swiss have "made in china" printed on the box.

I tried to look but they're a bit grungy and all I can see is the Hard Luck logo and the two lightning bolts (yikes) so I've got nothing. I remember the box didn't say where they were made and I was kinda sketched out by that but they work nicely so I didn't worry about it too much.

Yup, I'm riding the same ones. Loving them and backing them 100%. Give them a shot. Make sure you use spacers!!**

Someone should probably tell those dudes that “Swiss” is an adjective.


Oh, and that quasi deck is gorgeous.

6'5".  As long as Quasi keeps putting out this shape, I'll keep buying it.  I had such a good session on it last night.

Holy crap... a normal set up! Thank you for not making my eyes bleed.

•8,75 Stereo Paulo Diaz 90’s shape
•Thunder Teams 151
•Bones 100’s
•Unknown bearings
•Bottom bushing Thunder, top Bones medium
•Thunder bolts
•Titus rails

Football shape but not as tapered as the Polar football. Wheels flush I’d say. Looks and feels a bit smaller than my boxy 8,5 Hotel Blue but flips better. Not having that fat nose could take some time getting used to but this feels really comfy and responsive.

Hoped a fence the other day and landed in hobo shit so I tossed my states out and bought some Cromers. Pretty decent shoe although the insole is pretty mediocre. Might buy another pair.

I wonder... Do those trucks turn?

This is my first setup in quite a while. The last time I ran Ventures was when deck bolt patterns changed!
Ridden Indy’s forever and thought a change was a good idea. ( Worrest welcome vid helped in my decision)

How does the 5.25 feel on the 8.25? I have a set of the 5.25 titanium's and ride 8.25's, from the photo it looks good, does it feel stable?

The profile of the trucks falls flush with the deck shape but there is room to put in some extra speed rings on the hanger side of the axle. So you could push the wheelbase out further if needed. Bones wheels (V5) have a funny profile to me, they seem skinnier than spitfires, so there looks like a lot of axel past the nut. I’ve got stock bushings and am running my trucks a little tighter until I get more confident. Go get you a set, hope this helps.
