railbite

hi, new guy from norway here.

i got a dervish from before running on blue/white khiro barrels. love the deep carve.
but now i bought a landy the switch with bear 10mm trucks, but i hate the stock bushings and tried with blue/white and blue/orange. got to some serious carving yet still stable at speed but i also got railtbite. what to do? build it higher or try other bushings?

if you want the same turneyness add some risers to your trucks. If you don't mind losing some turn put harder bushings/tighten the king pin.

Also if wheel-bite isn't a problem put some larger wheels on it to give you more clearance.

bigger bushings kingpin and risers should do the trick. I do the same thing on mine. Great board isnt it

i see the riser, but why bigger bushings and kingpin?

bigger bushings (venoms/retro/sabre) are very big compared to other bushings and can raise you a mm or 2. longer kingpin needed to fit bigger bushings.

I just put indies with sabres on my switch. fell the moment I rode and tried to turn.

fixed it with some risers though! sick for freeride
