Looking for someone to mod my new deck
I just got a Sector9 Lacey and am getting some major wheel bite if i run it as loose as i want to. So i'm wondering if someone can cut out some wheel wells for me. I will pay and would preferably not have to send it over east... however i'd still be interested to hear about anyone that can help me.
I have considered doing it myself but it would be a shit job.
Cheers, Dave

Try some risers.
How much do you need to lift/remove?

i've got 3 on each truck atm... pretty much if i run it as loose as i want to it bites pretty bad. there are little wheel wells that i would probably just remove and then maybe cut another half inch off...

I can do it but im on the east coast. postage is a bitch.
Easy way to do it. Go to bunnings buy a drum sander attachment for your drill. mark out the material you want removed on the bottom AND sides of your board. Hold the drum sander on an angle and slowly take away excess material till its all done. You can practice on a scrap bit of timber first if your bit concerned. Give it a go its not that hard

you must be running them pretty loose if you have 3 risers and still getting wheel bite

Depends, how high are your risers? Not just little shock pads that are like 3mm? Like 1/2" ones?
Try wedging and de wedging maybe?
And unless your quite heavy, having red and green venoms loose doesn't really have much point... Just buy a softer bushing so you can have rebound while having them very turny.

I'm just setting up a new topmount, and have 20mm of riser's under the front truck.

fuck me, my boomerang with sabres, and no risers or wedging, runs 74 mm wheels setup very carvy, as in can still do u turns on the tightest of little estate roads perfect for riding footpaths and dodgeing peds, how tight do you need it to turn? I have found cup washers like the ones that come with grizzley trucks to be perfect for adding that little bit extra resistance to stop you from getting wheel bite. have you experimented with them yet?

The set up is really carvy with the bushing setup and really stable when loose, so i pretty much am wanting to run them as loose as i can.
and yes the risers are the small blue modus ones, not sure how thick they are. I'm not particularly keen to wedge it either, wedging feels kinda dead to me... and yeah i might consider some softer bushings if i can solve the wheel bite problem.
and na i haven't tried using a different washer, i'll rip the ones off my bears and give it a crack.
Cheers for all the ideas guys.
