if you have a heavy back wheel will the deck whip better. its because my old wheel broke so i put my front wheel in the back which is quite heavy for a wheel and it is harder to whip but it is bigger than my old wheel was so the deck is more leant forward


i recently put my old front wheel in the back and it is now more of an effort to dub whip catch(i was contemplating trying tripples cause i was catching quite high). i mean ive been able to do them with ease for ages but now they are more of an effort. also the wheel is quite heavy for a wheel so is it the wheels weight(i doubt this as my scooter has a vertx deck with a headtube stem, probably the heaviest decent deck around) or do you think it is because i have 100 in front and 105 in back instead of like 105 in fron 95 in back.

so basically will i just get used to the leant forward aspect or is it just harder to whip with it or is the reason my scooter is more back heavy altohugh i thought back heavy = easy whips.

any help appreciated i will be thankful for its just the swedish weather is stopping me from riding often so i am asking for a fast response

The difference is so minimal. It's preference. Back in the day, some people did metal core front GM back. Others did yak front metal core back. Everyone likes different things.

Bigger wheel = heavier but more momentum.
Smaller wheel = lighter but less momentum.

Take your pick, weight vs force.

if i ever had one wheel smaller than the other id put the bigger one in the front and the smaller one in the back

im currently running a 100mm in front and a 110mm in back. i dont notice a change in whips at all.
i have the 110 in back because it helps with preventing slipping out on 360's
