Question Slide wheels size...

I want to use some abec no Skoolz wheels on my BE 40'' deck, with tracker 161mm trucks. Which size should I use with this setup, 65mm or 60mm?

I've used both 60 & 65 on a 42" deck & the 65s are definitely a lot better, mostly because they pick up speed a lot faster, will last longer & slide just as well as the 60mm version.
I'ved used 98a & 96a respectively to 60 & 65 versions.

I would go with the 65mm. Bit more sliding on those and slightly more speed once your up and rolling.

Just pick a size. Wheel size on a slide board is god damn preference, so you won't figure out by asking on the fish.

so dude, did you pick a size & slide it yet?

also, ask whatever you want, at the end of the day you make the final call, not someone else
