avenger with smokies

**808rayne** · 12-23-2009 12:59 AM

Hey i was wondering if 09 40degree smokies on an avenger would the truck or wheels hit the deck?

it depends on the size wheels you are running. sorry i cant help much but get ready for some flaming. Also, if you havent already try to use the search function i believe this has come up already somewhere here on the fish.

That's my main DH set up. Mine is the 08, with the old smokies, and I run 70mm wheels, and even on soft bushings and loose trucks for carving around on I get no wheelbite. I don't use any riser at all.
I think the new smokies, if that's what you are referring to, are slightly higher, so you should be fine.

Alright thanks so much I was going to put some in heats on them with the khiro shock pads.

in heats might cut it close, it'll depend on your bushings/how fast your going. You might get static bite or even bite on a hard low speed carve but at speed be totally fine

I think most run with 70mm wheels on a top mount. I know it's only 2.5mm difference in height but I think you'll prefer it with them.
If you want 70mm In heat shape go with zigzags rather than 4 pres.

i run smokies and in heats on my avenger

it cuts it close with the 08s but the 09s are taller so you should be fine

what is static bite?? sorry for the double post

Static bite is when you're not moving. Just because a board gets wheel bite while not moving, does not necessarily mean it will bite while moving. It's a lot easier to get static bite as you have a lot more lean when stationary.

I used to use 70mm wheels on 07 Smokies and an 08 Avenger...no bite.

o so when you stand on your rail but like it would be impossible to do while moving.

I used to run Jimz at first (came with them), but eventually switched to Venom barrels, a combo of green and red.

I have no experience with the newer 09 Smokies though. So I don't know what works best there.
