    Default Newbie: 2 different pair wheels on 1 board?!

    Hi,

    Im new in longboarding, just ordered and received a new lush kilima with randal trucks an Abec 11 Big zigs lime 80a BUT i didnt see that the wheels were in sets of two instead of four so i only have two wheels atm

    So i ordered the other two but now it seems that they dont have them anymore and they asked if they can send me 2x Big Zigs lemon 83a.

    I said yes because paying for a set of 4 will take another 10 days to get those here and i wanne start riding some before my vacation ends.

    So my question is , if this is a good idea to have those mixed, or will it be only noticable when sliding?

    I guess its best to put the 83a in the back and the 80a in front then?

    Or should i only do this temporaly and order two of the same type meanwhile to get a set of 4 identical wheels?

    Thanks,

    Tim

    as long as they are of the same mold..size/offset etc.. you're fine.. put the softer 2 in the rear... mix matching duro's is a long lived ideal in slalom.
