Randals will help a little bit, but Indy-style trucks will help a lot more. In fact, with the later you'll get hanger-bite or shoe-bite, but not wheel-bite.

You could topmount your trucks, or just ride your wheels until they become small enough where it wont matter

**dozer jr** · 05-09-2009 07:41 PM

well what would you think of sanding it??
i havent heard good things about it topmounted though

**ridesnow.** · 05-09-2009 07:42 PM

go for it. Sand away.

It rides topmount just fine....

**dozer jr** · 05-09-2009 07:44 PM

Indy kingpins are woefully short. Get a 2.25 and some JB Weld.

just send the whole box to me
there i just helped you clean up the mess

this discussion makes me want to vomit. (past few posts)

Just work with your bushing setup to avoid wheelbite with paris or randal trucks. An 85a eliminator bottom and 85 barrel top should turn plenty and probably be wheelbite free. or sand the board a little.

**Blix** · 05-10-2009 02:34 AM

I did a little "sandpaper-on-the-wheel" trick now, and took off a couple mm, and now there`s no wheelbite except when cranking hard static. No big deal.

**rodgon** · 05-10-2009 02:40 AM

loving my setup. flush indie 215 and blue kryptos. retardeeed easy to do speedchecks, 180 standups, and just cruising. not the best speedboard with those wheels... but you can get to 35-40 with no wobbles. ^_^ ( i you out some 42 randalls on it it would be a monster!!!)
