Sick dude!, anyways about wheels... how big can i go before i get wheel bite and what are the specs (im a noob who does some research) ? i know this might be kind of stupid but would otangs work for penny boards ( with some changes like rises n bigger trucks or something) and is there a way for adding a RKP (that fits fine on the penny)? I want to have a monstrous looking penny board Lols that can cruise smooth, carve and start convos ahaha
When you get bite isnt a set rule. It will depend on your trucks, how tight you ride them, your bushings and how much you weigh. On a board this narrow I get footbite way before wheelbite. I feel like even the smallest orangatangs, at 65 are a little big for a penny, YMMV. But is you are into the monster truck thing then go crazy. If youre okay with adding a decent amount of riser you an go 65, maybe even 70mm. Beware that will make it ride tippy and weird. There is a reason boards with big wheels are always much wider than the Penny. But again, Im all for experimentation, maybe you will like the feel. The most narrow RKPs that I know of are Randal 125s. I feel like that is too wide for a Penny and footbite will be a big issue. I have a set of Randall 150s that I cut down to about 110mm so you could do something like that and make some narrow RKPs but mine feel almost too tippy and unstable to be fun. Its not my thing, but by all means go extreme if thats your goal, A Penny with 70s would definitely make me want to flag you down and ask how it rides.
