Sorry for asking an old question - I know the 6.1 has a shorter wheelbase than the other sizes… (+3” as seen on the truck wb thread) does this apply for for the v-lights too? Or are those also pushed out a bit?
considering getting some V-lights to switch my usual set up a bit and i’ve always wanted to try some ventures! Gonna get the loose bushing kit too. What’s the height on 5.8 V-lights? 53mm? I think Ace Af1s are so the height transition won’t be a lot i hope! Just kinda miss the grind of a hard truck.
Give or take they are exactly the opposite truck…..

Maybe try a longer wb deck with your aces.But if you do, please report[close]Probably dependent on your level of madness. But I would say so. I had tried ventures a while back and they worked fine on 14.25 wb for me. I wasnt crazy about the turn/grind though and when i put my indy's back on they felt WAY too cramped. I'm 6' 4"

Honestly, I skated Ace lo’s and ventures at the same time, I adjusted pretty quick, all the major trucks do something well…..I just like how ventures pop, how you can lock into manuals and they are lighter….Aces grind better, turn way better and push in the wheelbase which works well with a lot of boards IMO…but I think the wheelbase matters but a fair share of it is…..koo…koo….

I prefer the latter option tho

Skating a 8.25 alien board now and don’t know yet how I like it. High hollow ventures. Kick are long on that deck. Had a hockey before and will skate GX 8.125 next. That one has short tail. What do you prefer ? Long or short tail?I skated 8“ decks , 8.125 , 818 and 8.25 over the last year and still don’t know what I prefer. Same for tail length.I skated fuller shapes over the last two decks, now when I look at and 8“ anti hero or Powell for example it looks so weird to me. So pointy and flat. I probably stick to fuller shapes and switch around with tail lengths and width’s.I really think I can skate anything after little time of getting used to it.

How would it make you feel cramped/what did you feel?It's so weird to me because I skated thunders on 14.4wb and now ace on a 14" wb.Because the thunders are the titaniums, so the pop on the long wb board+thunder feels about as light as ace on a 14" wb.Because of the big weight and wb difference, the setups actually feel similar.
