    Default Biggest wheel size on comet mechanoid

    I'm look at the mechanoid for my next board and I was wondering if it would still be a deece bomber compared to the comet and how big could i go for my wheels?

    I was thinking these

    3DM Speed Vent 73mm 84a Purple Skateboard Wheels Set of 2

    would I get bite? If so whats a good wheel size for the mechanoid.

    Also, for trucks, what would be the best choice. I want really low to the ground, really carvy, but still able to downhill and slide well

    thanks!

    Don't know about the board, but you may want to buy 4 wheels, not 2.
    Whether I'm cruising the hood looking for the ladies or flying down my favorite hill at 40, I ride PARIS TRUCKS!!!

    2/25/10: Today I tried to slide around a corner. I almost succeeded, but I forgot I was in my mom's minivan.

    It's dependent upon the trucks you choose. As a rule, I'm not a fan of speedvents.. especially at 64.00 a set,but to each their own. But nah, can't check clearance without knowing the chasis (trucks)

    I assume you mean the FSMini (since, AFAIK, it's the only board with Rodgon's mechanoid artwork on it) and, no, I wouldn't bomb on one, especially with 150mm trucks. And I can't compare to "the comet" because I don't know which Comet you're referring to.
    You are not the light of my life.
    Making you happy isn't my greatest dream.
    Your smile is not all I live for;
    I've got my own stuff going on.
    But you're strange and fascinating
    and I've never met anyone like you.
    I want to give you everything.

    Just to see what you would do with it.

    My b ob any confusion I think i'm just gonna go for the Flying Spaghetti Monster as I want to do some bombing as well as sliding and carving.

    Would holey trucks be a good idea on this board?
