| 129's would be rad on that. They would push the wheels out side of the wheel bite zone freeing you up for some endless hard turns. Throw on some 70mm softees and you're stoked. |

i'll have to look at the Softees too, thanks Stubbs |

Softees meaning SOFT WHEELS. I don't want to confuse you by making you think there is a new wheel on the market called SOFTEES.
Since the board is pretty narrow and short, I would want some width to the truck/wheel combo. You might try the Zig Zags, I'm sure they'd work fine. I personally might slap on some ABEC11 Flashbacks in the 78a variety. They are a sideset wheel and will allow for clearance of wheel bite. That way you don't have to run a lot of risers. |

"old school bolt pattern" - forget Indy
Bennett 5.0 Black Beauties and road-rider-red Avalons would be sic�and would appear to be era specific. |

| hmmm...did not notice OLD SCHOOL BOLT PATTERN until Slob mentioned it. You can get the Tracker RTS/RTX in a 129mm and they are drilled for both OLD and NEW patterns. |
