The Purge | eBoosted Sportster ❤️ | XTLA | Stormcore | TB 6380 | TB 110 | SR RKP | P42A |

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! :smiley:

Then, for my own interest, I tested with a Switchblade:

Getting some wheel-bite before I can max out my turn on this one. The wheel goes perfectly into the wheel-well, so to clear the deck you’d need to extend your hanger / axle by like 6cm on each side, which seems quite unrealistic.

I think that with 45 degree trucks this might be a perfect set-up, and the board definitely looks hot af with the wheel well flairs so close to the wheels with this setup. But for practicalities sake, I think you’d be better off mounting the truck one set of holes further to completely eliminate wheel-bite.

Still trying to wrap my head around how Bergmeisters work with this deck and trucks. Still don’t have longer axles to test unfortunately :confused:
