Do you feel a difference if you skate 2mm bigger/smaller wheels ?
I skate 52 mm usually , but thinking about getting 54 mm. What difference does it make to you?
I skate v hollow light ventures and FA decks currently.
Smoother ride, slightly more wheelbite and you're 1mm further from the ground, so not a huge difference but it's noticeable.
You'll get used to it super quickly for sure
Thx
The trucks in the link don’t have a „lights“ in the name and this confuses me. I looked them up in other shops and it never says „lights“.
i think you're safe, a 'v-hollow light' technically doesn't exist, venture just calls it a v-hollow. def confusing though to see it listed on sites that way though
It is a bit funny with the naming, but hopefully this makes it a whole lot easier, with this info:

As for the wheel question, going from 52mm to 54mm, you are going to be 1mm higher off the ground, so it is not a huge jump, but there are some differences, mainly being the wheels will roll over everything a little better, maybe needing a little more precision on things like crooked grinds with bigger wheels, as well as nose / tail slides being a little more grippy but the wheels will lock in to some things more easily, last a lot longer and hold up better than smaller wheels too, so it balances out overall.
Some people will really notice it a lot, depending on what tricks you usually do or how you go about doing some things, so as much as they might feel faster at first, they might also take a bit to get used to or become easier to ride as they wear down if you can really feel the difference in them.
