Who's got a 50mm wide wheel they really like? My fat ass is trying to ride this setup without risers for once and the 54s are wheel biting like mad.
There are some smaller diameter wheels with wider riding surfaces out there, but a set of old worn down wheels usually works just as well and is a lot easier to come across (for me at least) so usually anything that has been bigger and worn down to the point of retiring would be perfect in that situation.
I just put a worn down set of 54 classics on a board, now between 50 and 51, and they are still great for their size and shape.
Just an option anyway.
Curious if anyone is picky about what wheels work best for slappies? I definitely noticed that tablets suck, and it made me wonder if there's an ideal shape (hell, and size?). I'd guess big wheels roll over the edge better, but most slappy guys seem to run relatively small wheels...
I feel like those people who have the technique down could do them on almost any wheel, so it is not so much which wheel works best for them, but which might help in learning them better for someone who is still getting there, to which I would usually say some bigger rounder wheels seemed to work really well a while back for me, then when I tried on another board with smaller old wheels, it was just as easy, with a bit more control.
The first ones I had were old 60mm unknown brand (but similar to the usual 99 duro) in a classic shape, and they worked really well to just smash up over this slightly lower curb that was good to get them on.
People used to do them on all sorts of wheels, hard and soft, big and bigger in the 80s, then small and smaller from the 90s on, but maybe the bigger rounder wheel is a good way to go.
