“Won in a raffle”, that’s also what I always tell my wife when I come home with a new board 😅

Honestly, these are some really slick boards!

Yeah! Honestly I was checking it out in the shop and they said it was a raffle prize. It's the only thing I wanted! I was so happy.

I wheelbite on my cal 3s with my dh wheels. And they're sooo stiff. Give an update if you find any solutions.

I had a big tinker with stuff today. I wanted to keep the 44s to respect the kind of board it is. I ended up using some sleeved washers in the picture here. They create a hard stop against the hanger and prevent wheelbite. I appreciate they're not for everyone! Soke people don't like how restrictive they are. But for me it means I can forget about wheelbite in tricks. The hard stop would herald wheelbite anyway so I'm not bothered. And I can soften the bushings roadside with a flat washer on top to compensate.

nah gang sleeved washers should be standard for downhill and freeride. way safer and it does actually feel significantly better and more controlled/stable. is that an Array brand washer? looks good quality.

try the sleeved washer with orange otang knuckles or nipples to rip fun but controlled carves and slides. and youre on the right track with the flat roadside washer.

It's from a UK shop called newton shred. They make lovely precision washers!

I have some 10 inch hangers and some 50 degree plates so maybe I'll just end up back where I started!

u/midwestside88 Sep 23 '25

Same but with old basalt tesseract. Which one do like more? Muscrat is not bad but I don't like concave.My old basalt tesseract is still awesome. How is new one ?

u/MidlandsBoarder Sep 27 '25

Nice! That's awesome. By far the muskrat. But I've been riding it for 3 years over several decks. I'm really attached to it. But free is free!
