Hey - same - when I got it out of the box I got wheel bite - came off twice in the first hour- was like WTF ? Anyway tightened up the trucks and it's been all good since. While we're talking wheels I've always ridden at least 75's - and had 83's (Flywheels) on the old avenger before changing to the purp in heats - I like the extra speed I get from bigger wheels but am guessing the smaller ones are easier to slide yeah ??

i got that wrong i means 75mm wheels gave me wheel bite i had to use the smaller ones so they wouldnt bite. The difference in speed between bigger and smaller wheels is small. theoreticly smaller wheels accelerate quicker and bigger wheels have higher roll speeds. but yes ive found the smaller wheels to slide better (thats in the o-tangs as the 70's have a completley different profile and characteristics to the 75's)
