So what do you think?

[Hawthorne]

Heya guys

I know their must be a thousand threads about setups.
But before i spend out $xxx amount of cash on a new setup, i want to make sure i'm not buying the wrong thing.

So give us some tips on this

Bare in mind my height weight: 5ft 10 and 54kg = 120lbs

Deck: Rayne Demonseed
Trucks: Grizzly Bears Blacks
Bushings: Venom Red's in front, Venom Greens in back
Wheels: I don't know what wheels - Recommend?
Bearings: Bultin Bearings

Thanks, also any other considerations i should take into effect?

Ok so I can help you out since i'm more or less the same weight as you.
I'd probably go for the 87a or 85a barrels all around....but idk that's just me.

The trucks and deck are fine, more of a preference. What degree baseplate bears are you getting? Because I'm not sure about it, but you might get railbite with 70mm wheels...

Biltins are pretty awesome, but soo slow out of the box. I'd clean em as soon as you get them to get the grease out of them.

Wheels... What kind of riding will you be doing?

Well, this is the speed boarding forum... So I'm thinking he wants slalom wheels

Maybe. Looks like he just wants a fast setup.

Yeah i need some fast grippy wheels, that i can gain speed with.
I chose those bushings, because i only like tight trucks, and apparantly with venoms, different colours make a better setup and reduce speed wobble, also improving the quality of the ride.

that is based on the interaction between rider and board.

if you are getting wobbles, its inexperience or a lack of confidence. dont go trying to tackle a 40mph hill when you havent gone 30 yet.

general wheel will be any of the Orangatang wheels or BigZigs/ZigZags

also keep in mind that tight trucks limit your turning ability, so if you are mobbing down road that has a long drawn out turn you could be ****ed...

[Cann0n]

I ride loose trucks. Tight trucks actually cause more wobbling than loose.

I'd get Otangs in-heat 80a's. I ride the purples and they are great wheels, despite all the love and hate Loaded gets.

I think the D-seed is going to be a lot of board for you, though it will handle speeds well. Are you planning on just doing straight bomb sort of stuff? Double greens in the back are going to be really solid at your weight, and coupled with the 34" WB of the d-seed you're not going to be getting a lot of turn. I weigh about 155-160lbs and run double red or red green barrel in my setups, so I think you could get away with double red in the back and maybe a yellow in the front while maintaining a tight feel. Here's some other boards that have similar characteristics but will be more versatile:

Hellcat
Length: 41.25"
Width: 10"
Wheel Base: 32"

Drop Speed
Length: 39"
Width: 9.75"
Wheelbase: 30.25"


Nemesis
Length- 39"
Width- 10.25"
Wheel Bases- 32" and 33"
1" Drop

Killswitch
Length - 38"
Width - 10"
Wheelbase - 31/32"
3/8" Drop

The Drop Speed is probably the furthest from what you originally wanted, but it's a good baord none the less.

I'm about the same height/weight as you, and I agree that the D-Seed could be a lot, but I wouldn't totally disregard it, I actually ride the LY Dually for all my downhill, it's definitely a lot of board but it gets the job done.

And I would say definitely go for some OTangs , the 4Presidents are always good for downhill, the 83a (Purple) wheels are a tad more drifty but harder and some say faster, the 80a (Orange) are grippier and therefore drift/slide less right out of the box.

[Sector 9ine]

hard to make a wheel recommendation without knowing the discipline(s)

[ShaneShreds]

It's pretty much based on the setup he has, and what would go well with that setup, but true. We should probably stop putting words in his mouth eh?
