Wheels For Spud

[Jacobpaul]

Im planning on getting a Landyachtz Spud in the near future the setup im going to use it with would be Randal 180's and Pink Gumballs....but im thinking about buy Goddess of Speed wheels for it. So would the wheels be big enough? or would i need to use risers?

Use a riser. I run 80mm Kryptos. No risers. Hard bushings.
I had gumballs on it for a while, .5" riser. The riser size will depend on how much you want to turn.

I have this mental image of them pressing themselves up against the window...watching for the
delivery guy like a 10 year-old waiting for a pizza. Or an old man waiting for call girl.

i have 1/2" risers and 85mm speedvents..and bear grizzleys
think thats the sickest setup

do you really need risers for a spud? I'm planning on setting one up and I'm not sure whether to get risers or not.. I have an evo with no risers and its fine

[BAUER]

i would highly recommend them..yes
unless you want rail bite

The spud and the evo are two different boards the evo dosen't need riser pads with 70mm wheels, the spud is dropped 4 inches so i'd think you would need risers on any wheels under 80mm.

[xaznbiohazrdx]

what sized riser do you think i'd need for gummies? I have a set of those I wanna put on the board.. If not I have 85mm hawgs that'll do okay

70mm wheels on an Evo would make it extremely low to the ground.

I know, and every now and then I do throw my zigzags on my evo... while it is extremly it is still a great ride, but I do prefer my lemon bigzigs for the serious stuff.

i have 1/2" angled risers with 85mm speedvents..still almost get railbite..but i dont..just very close..all in all great setup..thats prolly best way you can set the spud up..best board ive ridden

[Golgo13]

I just got my spud and am running those flys with 1/2in risers. when i tried it with the 85mm wheels my toes would drag in deep turns

I ride 76mm Gumball's with a 1/2" riser, works amazingly. No rail bite whatsoever. And it sticks to the road like a freaking tank!

[xaznbiohazrdx]

Mine came in at just under 12lbs With 90mm flys

[Dubester]

WTF is the point of that much drop anyway. ?
