Do I need different wheels?
« on: August 24, 2009, 06:45:47 PM »
Uhh... I have a 7.75 Girl deck with regular Independents (not lows) and 50mm wheels.

Are my wheels too small for the trucks?  Would it be worth it to get 53-ish wheels? 

I skate mostly street. 

gub!!

What ever works for you. But I don't know how you're cruising around in the streets with 50s. I rock nothing but 55s.

Just by what you've told me I can guarantee your hardware is way too heavy for your setup.
Get the new airbolts ,its like having no hardware at all.

trade in your wheels for a scooter. burn the deck in a fireplace. and hit yourself in the head with those indies.

I was only wondering because I skated Venture lows with 50-51s for the last 4 years... just switched to high trucks (Indys) and I wasn't sure if small wheels would still be optimal... sorry.

But hey, at least I brought some laughs to the forum, even if it was at the expense of making myself look like a fucktard!

So... who wants to help this 5'1 260lb ex-rollerblader?  My mongoose deck really needs some new wheels...

The jist of it is that nobody can really tell you what's optimal for you. If you like the way your setup feels then it's correct.
