About to get a new setup and I’m curious about Thunders. The deck I’m getting has a pretty short wheelbase and I’ve heard Thunders are better for pushing the wheelbase out slightly. My only concern is wheelbite. Are they are bad as everyone says? I seem to see that a lot as an issue. I’ll be riding 52mm wheels.
They are an awesome truck, but they are lower than others.
What did you have before?
What size would you be getting?
A board I have no risers on tends to get a bit more wheelbite than a board I do have risers on, both with Thunder team 149s, both about 53-54 mm wheels with fairly loose trucks.
If you rode tighter trucks and anything in normal / team versions (not lower hollow forged) in 148 and up, you should be ok, but smaller size are lower.
You can easily put something under the baseplates if you do get wheelbite, even if it is a single mm or so riser made out of cardboard or rubber, just to see if it helps (which it will).
