Building with the Bustin Sportster

Thought I’d share this wheel-bite test info in the thread it belongs in:

@rusins

So, 50 degree Surf Rodz RKP with a 200mm hanger, and shortest possible shoulder bolts. TB 110mm wheels.

Bustin Sportster:

No wheel bite at all! Trucks don’t go further! This was a big shock to me, because right now my brother has been pushing the sportster with 90mm wheels, and he does get some wheel-bite on hard turns with caliber trucks. Check it out:

I am running the Surf Rodz truck with positive rake, but even then, the hanger is clearly further away from the deck. Doing a side-by-side comparison, it appears that surf rodz with positive rake are about 2cm further away than a caliber hanger would be. Wow!
