Bennett 6.0s on a dancer

**243racing** · 06-29-2009 10:53 PM

Anyone ever tried it? I love the deep turn of the benetts on my mini... would the 6.0s be to skinny for a 9 inch wide deck? Thinking a Roggs dancer.

how much do you weigh?

soft bushings?

what size wheels?

About 165... love the stock yellow randal bushings on the mini. I'd probably slap some 70s on it.

peanut gallery says too tall and too narrow. but if it works for you, go for it. with a decision like that, definitely ride before you buy.

yeah, do this, get the dancer, slap the bennetts on your mini on it, if you like it and dont get wheel bite, order another set, if not, randal/paris/holey

Give it a try, but I doubt you'll like it...Have some Randals for back up...I have Randals (42* base plates...) on my Roggs...1\8" shock pad, Venom standards (red 90a...) and orange Otangs 70mm...Its an awesome set-up for me...

bennets are great, with the right bushings and maybe some sideset wheels I feel like they would be a blast on a dancer.

**rosewood thief** · 06-29-2009 11:12 PM

maybe lime 66mm zigs?

Would you really want to push that around?
Would the divey-ness conflict with your dancing?

most dancing boards have hangers of at least 180mm. the most fun one's i've ridden, though, were some tight 250mm s10's, and some 8.75'' revenge. with the bennets currently being a max of 127mm, you're asking for some serious trouble. wheelbite, tip, instability, plus any tricks other than cross stepping would be really hard because of the height.

i'm not sayin no one could have fun with it, i'm just saying that most people wouldn't.
