Wheelbite
Wheelbite
First time wheelbite!
I had been lucky enough to avoid wheelbite so far, even though I use rather big wheels on my boards, but my luck ended today. No big deal, I just rolled on the floor and got up unharmed with just a tiny scratch on one finger.
As for the context, I was riding my Loaded Tesseract, mounted with 76 mm Hawgs Zombies, and I was trying to gain speed by pumping rather hard. So I was leaning hard left and right. Hence the wheelbite.
Has it already happened to you? How did you deal with it?
You're viewing a single thread.
I spend some time after initial setup carving as hard as I can at low speed trying to make it bite deliberately. If I can make it bite, I tighten a little bit. If it's too tight, increase the riser and start again. When I just can't quite make it bite deliberately, I tighten a tiny bit more for paranoia's sake.
