Best size wheels for a flexdex grenade 23 inch mini?

**sumosun** · 07-10-2009 10:28 PM

Right now I have desperados 66mm on my grenade. I was thinking about getting 70 mm Orangatangs. Is 70mm wheels too big for a 23 inch board or is it still ok? Should i go with the 65 mm Orangatangs?

65 would be better unless you had some crazy risers for 70's.

it depends on your bughing setup and weight, i can run 70mm fine with a half in riser. so, what trucks, bushings? and your weight?

I am 6'1 190 pounds, with 1/2 inch risers, mission 1 gullwing trucks and khiro orange 79a bushings.

Original S8's and Gravity High Grades FTW. Can pump from a standstill. (almost)

65mm, wouldn't go larger unless you want wheelbite or an extremely high ride for such a small board...plus it will look like some monster truck mini...

...On a 23 inch board?

What kind of madman are you?

Thanks for all the advice! I think I will go with the 65mm orangatang wheels. =]

Can you send a pic PopeseanV? I'm a little bit of a madman too, and am planning to get a grenade and like that idea. Plus i like monster trucks.

I switched the trucks and wheels to my Gnome but I'm very close to getting another set so I can run em on the G23 again. I don't have any pics but it looks absolutely ridiculous, and it is one of the most fun setups ever!

Did you get any wheelbite with that setup? those are 78x56mm wheels and 200mm trucks thats why. I am just wondering about the height (for kicking) and problems if you carve.

No wheelbite(amazingly)! Height is not too bad. Carving is ****ing amazing, esp on mellow hills. I could take it down 25mph hills no problem.

Originals are verrrry low, so height wouldn't be an issue...wheelbite would be an issue. Maybe even hanger bite on the rails with the flexiness of the G23!

I have big zigs on my glass grenade and just soft khiro angled risers under my venture 149's, no wheel bite and I'm a rather big guy (6'2 x 240). it looks a little monster truckish but i never get hung up on debris.
