    Default i just bought myself...

    a brand new landyachtz wedge flex deck.

    it will be replacing my s9 that met an unfortunate end under a bmw's tire.

    http://www.landyachtz.com/D25.cfm?PID=128

    i will be putting randall 180's and some Abec11 Flashbacks 75a's on it. this board will primarily be used for cruising/ going to and from work unless i find some good hills. how do you feel about this setup?

    Be careful that you don't step on the wheels when pushing (180s + Flashbacks = wide).

    yeah, i learned i had to do that on the s9. the complete board was with 150's, but i had 180's... i adjusted quick. it only took one time for me to remember.

    It wedges the front truck, hence the name Wedge-flex.

    bearings make the wheel roll, size shape and hardness determine what the wheel rolls over

    I bought the Wedge Flex "Super Deluxe Complete" from Landy at the begining of the season. It's a fun board. Great ride. Enjoy!

    Dude, that comparison is skewed, if you have 83's and crappy has 70's he will probably still beat you. There are different reasons for running a smaller wheel. Not as small as you suggest, thats heely territory.

    Maybe you thought theyre talking about a dropwedge, where the 83 would be more reasonable, but in a WEDGEFLEX the height of the fly's would mean that you have to use 8mm of riser extra... about 3/8" over the already tall randals.

    Anyway its not a speedboard. So a low cruiser ride and a not so pricey wheel is better suited.

    Please dont call people "FOOL"s it doesnt make me laugh, I'd rather you use a more elaborate insult. We're here to help eachother gain more knowledge and have good, positive discussion.

    It depends on when they recieve the order as well as their stock. If it is available it will be out within a couple days. They are pretty good with that stuff. The three boards I have ordered from them were all shipped UPS Ground, and took around 10 days to get to CT. Give them a call, they would be happy to speak to you, also, you can clear up any of these issues you have with wheels, etc. Talk to the experts. They did create and build the board.
