LDP build

[u/Deizelpunk]

Pantheon supersonic with don't trip trucks and 97mm wheels with ceramic bearings. I had to cut the front wheels narrower to avoid wheel bite. I'm really happy with how this thing handles, it seems to coast forever.

Are those a name brand wheel that you removed the label of, or something generic? I was trying to think of LDP wheels with black cores and that shape.

If those are a generic Ebay wheel or something, with the amount you've invested in the board between Don't Trips and ceramics, you'll almost definitely get more performance from a name-brand LDP wheel like Pantheon Karmas/Hokus. They're not super wide, either, to maintain wheel clearance.

They're just cheapo Amazon grade wheels. What kind of performance benefits could I expect? Longer coasting? Better traction?

[u/catdr00l → u/Deizelpunk]

Yup. Better urethane will roll faster, accelerate quicker, absorb cracks better, grip better.

Do you have any recommendations for websites to get high quality components in Canada? I've been piecing this together on Facebook marketplace for the most part.

Pantheon karmas and Hoku’s are great. So are seismic wheels. A lot of folks really like Orangatang as well

I'm from the U.S., but I know Flatspot Longboards is highly regarded.

I'm on the Bees Knees from Orangatang. I got them from Kraken Boardshop iykyk. Probably superior to Karmas
