    Default bombhills wheels

    Whats the biggest wheel could I get away with on a bombhills on 50 degree randals with either a small shock pad or no riser?

    Also does anyone have any concave pics of the bombhills?

    I disagree with bombsquad_Manny, I fully believe 78mm seismic blast waves would also work. xP

    Why would you run such large wheels on a topmount though. I personally dont like the feel of anything over 70 or so on my bombhills. If you like it though I would say probably somewhere in the 78mm range would be pretty close.

    I just wanted to see what I could use on there because I dont have the board yet and I dont know which wheels i want.

    I was thinking about 66mm gravity burners. Has anyone tried them?

    my friend has his on 50 degree parises and 85mm speed vents with no wheelbite. i'm sure you would be more limited in size if you used 42 degree randals.

    Here are pics of the concave. I ran mine with 75mm wheels on 50*plates with plenty of clearance. No risers.

    If you like I can set it up with 50* randals and bigzigs and put pictures for you. I might have some larger wheels also so you could see the clearance.

    I asctually dont realy run anything over 70mm on topmounts anymore. They feel a little to tall to me.

    It is not bad, but just isnt for me. I know other people who ride tall topmounts and love it. It rides nice though just doesnt suit my style of riding.
