Anyone have the 54mm Radial Fulls on 8.5 trucks? I have 5.8 V-Lights and I want a bigger wheel and want to try the 97a Duro. I’ve seen a few reviews of them but they’re the bigger sizes and never the 54s.
Yes I just got a set and put them on an 8.5 deck with Indy 149s and although they do work well, they are a little wide and leave me with a little less hanger space than I would like.
That said, they worked well for the newer skatepark I had a session at so no problems there really. They are 54 x 38 mm wide, which is funny cause I am more used to wider wheels, but my go to is often now around 54 x 34 mm wide and I could feel the difference in where I sat on grinds, small and insignificant that it might be for my average ability nowdays, but my Conical Full 54 mm 97 duro just felt a little easier at that park on the same board before swapping them out. I am going to put these Radial Full 54 mm wheels on an 8.75 or a 9" board which I think will balance out the width of the wheel on wider trucks and feel just right for what I want, but obviously I am being very picky right now.
The bigger, or at least wider wheels do still skate great, cover the axles and nuts completely, with the 97 duro giving me just that little more grip on the slippery surface and rolling over pretty much everything there.
They skated nicely in a carpark and other places I tested them in the last week, so all up that is a yes from me. They would work fine on Venture 5.8 as well.
