setting up a nemesis

**BR Boarder** · 11-14-2009 10:51 PM

So i'm planning on getting a nemesis and was wondering how i should set it up... I plan on doing mostly dh as well as some freeride. any suggestions on trucks/ wheels combos? i was thinking of throwing on some on my 75mm otang orange inheats.

randal 42's and inheats sound like a pretty good freeride/downhill set up to me.

**snozzboarder55** · 11-14-2009 11:05 PM

trucks will work, and so will wheels...

what i mean by this is, whatever you think will work, will probably work. theres a "post your nemesis" thread around here, search for that and gaze at the different setups.

dropped deck sexiness all day long.

ptang inheats

Crails
lime/lemon or lemon/orange (depending on your weight) reflex
with some bennet alligators

new Sabre trucks feel rather fantastic on my Nemesis I'll tell you that. I'd add some Green Cults for DH or Blue Kryptos for freeride and have good times.

50* randals with venom barrels and your choice of wheels

**gabetar** · 11-15-2009 09:11 AM

hybrid 215s!!!!!

ide say in heats are a good choice. if you want to do downhill you might not want to break them in. also dont get the purple ones (83a) unless you really know how to pre-drift and drift. they're way to drifty when broken in for a beginer

**igotscars** · 11-15-2009 09:39 AM

randal 42s and centerset raceforms in 82a. BEAST

and dont listen to numnum. Its smart to dh on broken in wheels. They are easier to slide in case of an emergency and they wont buck you off your board into the passenger door of a sedan that just happened to pull out in front of you. you see where im going with this

You are a beginner you noob

**luftywaffles** · 11-15-2009 11:01 AM

edit: no, broken in wheels are good.

Get the 80a's (assuming you don't have any sliding/drifting experience) ebcause the 80a will still slide great and like butter.

i mean we all love smashing a hill on spanking new wheels, but i cant count the number of times ive almost had a serious collision with a vehicle because i slid off my board due to the dreaded mold release chopping up my slides

Well I'm assuming the OP is new to downhill freestyle sort of stuff, so maybe wheels with a tad more grip could be more beneficial to a newer rider.

wait a second.........when did anyone say anything about dh-ing on non broken in wheels?

edit: sorry, i didn't read the first part, i guess it escaped me.

FCK that don't dh on not broken in wheels, one of the stupidest things i've heard. what if you need to stop?

oh yeah, and i meant good advice on the 80a otangs not the 83a, since as a beginner you might want a tad more grip.

**frankie18** · 11-15-2009 07:01 PM

im gonna get crails on a nemmy sometime eventually. I think they'll be good. Im thinkin crails with plasmas, offeset venoms, or maybe some centraxes if they're out. Mmm...toasty.

**stringtheory** · 11-15-2009 07:21 PM

Crails and some In heats would be pretty sweet. I <3 Crails on the Nemmy.

This is why you ride cults, spanking slides straight out the box.

Lolwut? If the dude wants to DH on not-broken in or broken in wheels, then let him do it? There's no hard and fast rule that says you can't...or shouldn't...Which also makes me wonder, if sliding fresh wheels is so poo poo, then why do DH racers use fresh wheels when racing? Hmmm?
