    Default FreeRide setup

    So I'm getting a Custom longboard from pulse thats 40inches long has a 30 inch wheelbase, and it will be 10 at its widest. It will have a mild flex stiff when Im just standing on it and flex more when I carve.

    I was planning on seting it up with sabres and fireballs, and I just want to know how you guys think this will work cause I've heard sabres get wheel bite pretty easy, they shorten the wheel base, and they lean aton but have a strong point of center. The lean sounds good to me so a have something to push agians't when I'm sliding. But I'm worried about wheel bite and how much it will shortent the wheelbase so I just wanted to know if you guys could help clear this up for me.

    If you want lean, go with indy 215's. My favorite trucks hands down! I'm also not a huge fan of fireballs I would go with some otang 83a stims.

    I like the 83a thane much better, much less icy its a good balance of grip and slip in my opinion.
