what size randals?

[LoNgSkAtEr]

What size of Randals would you get for an 8 inch wide board?...150's or 180's?

[Docter M]

it depends what you want to use it for, and the length. longer length, 180's, tighter carves, 150's. you decide.

[IntergalacticWombat]

Yeah, 180s wil be super stable, but 150s add maneuverability. word.

[LoNgSkAtEr]

180's it is!!!

[XLR8R]

My rule of thumb for randals; less than 40 " long and less than 8.5" wide, 150's. Longer than 40" and greater than 8.5" across, 180's. Of course, there are some exceptions.

XLR8R - the gravity mini-carve would be one exception

42" L x erm...wide...

The board I'm looking at for the randals is the Sector 9 Lone Paddler...its an 8 inch wide board by 32 inches long. The nose and tail are pointy like a surf board...so would the Randal 180's be a bad choice for that board?...And also I think they would be pretty long trucks for that deck so the wheels would kinda stick out far and look funny. So should I just go with the 150's? Let me know...Thanks.

I'd say the 150s for sure! :thumb:

[XLR8R]

Agreed, 150s.

[solachola0]

yep, i think those 180's would give you pedal problems....

so i'd agree with the 150's as well...or some other similarly
measure truck...

whats this got to do with vids + pics

[lexx]

exactly what i was about to ask

[Feeling Dipsy]

I have a Soulcarver pintail, and I use 180's with abec 11 flashbacks flipped around for general carving. If I'm going out for a sliding session, I run them the right way (wider trucks are eaiser to slide with, more stable).

[Docter M]

yes 150's. 180's would feel obnoxious on that board

[XLR8R]

Hey keep us up to date when you get a chance to ride your board. I was looking at that one myself and was wondering how it rides. 8)
