Setup for my 120-y?

Hey lads, first post.

I got a 120-y the other day (still hasnt arrived) but im abit stumpted on what setup to use on it. Ill manily be free riding big slides and all that and a few downhill and bombing runs ive found around me. Got some spare durians 83a and bones reds i may use on it, but im not quite sure. Any ideas on a good setup?

Cheers

i've cored a set of the 83's they didnt flatspot until i hit the bearing... i've got another set and they rock just as well. i hate white cannibals now.. the last set i got from matthys are flatspotted very badly and they have swirls. I agree when you get a set from a good batch they rock but 2 out of 3 times i've got a shit set

How do you know 83a won't be a dodgy wheel as well? 
Where did matthys get them?
My set of 78a are sick. Guess sometimes they just have a bad batch.

get a truck like a 42 randal or something with a low degree because the 120-y has an inbuilt wedge of 4 degrees. oh and dont get white cannibals. different batches behave very differently. i had a set i bought from matthys, loved them they lasted about as long as 88a classic thane. then i got another 2 sets from matthys and they suck donkey balls. i cored one set in a day with some fast slides... get 83a cannibals or classic zig zags

im abit torn between calibers or the radle 42 degrees, but guess it doesnt matter either way.
i may just use my durians anyways

My personal setup would be Randal 42* with  80a 4 Prez or 78a Grippins

 

Thats just me. I love the lean of 42*

i'd probs go with calibers to be honest

Trust me, you can not go wrong with calibers. Perfect lean to turn ratio.

Too hard for me! I had to put softer busings in... but then again, I'm pretty light
