Another BIGGER wheels thread!

[devinthedew2]

I really think company's should make bigger wheels im tired of falling face first in bowls when my pegs scrap and not being able to do certain things because of it. There are so many benefits to bigger wheels and companys should make compatible parts for them too.
I would even be happy with some 115 or 120mm wheels but 110mm is just not cutting it for me.
Opinions?

Bigger wheels also means longer forks. As those forks get bigger, they become easier to bend. Something to keep in mind.

As a pro tip, 125mm Yaks are actually not awful like every other wheel they make.

They woudnt really be any weaker i dont usually see people break good forks on the fork legs anyways.
I know but i want metal cores i always break plastic wheels, and before anyone comments about hep gregs sigs I cant find them in the U.S.

For real, you should talk to some companys about it since you test parts and all. And why did they stop making or selling your sig eagles?

oMg but they wont fit my deck or fork!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BrandonWeir]

What kind of deck and what kind of fork?

 

[devinthedew2]

Phoenix deck and im getting a tilt fork in the mail.

 

[BrandonWeir]

If you're REALLY committed to bigger wheels you can cut the wheel slot in your deck deeper, and you could grind down the fork to fit a bigger wheel. But you would have to be EXTREMELY careful with the fork. I would get a professional to do it if I were you.

Edit: Those tilt forks look fuckin amazing.

All i can say is goodluck, no one is going to make 125 and if pegs are such a problem just take them off

It could happen we just have to get the right people to push it.
And i like riding pegs because i do alot of grinds and stalls that involve using pegs but i might just take them off when im riding bowls.
