83mm's on Bustin Strike?

[camlyks2lb]

I'm looking at getting a Bustin Strike soon, and the setup i'm going to get will be;

Bones Reds,
Randal R-II's 42*,
ABEC11 Flywheels 81a's,

But i'm unsure about the size, 76mm or 83mm.

Any thoughts?



Thanks,

76mm. The strike is light and is good for smaller wheels.

I would have to say the 76mm would be better cause the 83mm might give you wheel bite.

As for the overall flex, our ~155 pound rider found the Strike to have a “small amount”. It’s stiffer than a Trylam and softer than a flex 1 Dervish, right about optimal for a pushing deck. We found that, while in most situations the Strike cleared 83mm flywheels without a hitch, we were in fact able to get the deck to bite, albeit barely, during very aggressive leans. With that being said, the wheels never came to a point of locking up throughout our testing.
