tell me more about your setup. do you have risers under the trucks? seems like 60mm wheels on a standard popsicle board would be prone to wheel bite without really tight trucks.

I have a 15-year-old Loaded Vanguard (medium flex option) on which I put 85mm "Seismic Speed Vent" wheels. It's great for cruising and commuting, just not great for drifting / slides (too soft, chattery). I have 180mm trucks ... I forget the brand, it's been like 14 years! Anyway, wheel bite hasn't been a problem.

Indy mid trucks with 1/4" risers, tightened flush to the kingpin. No bite and its still loose enough where I feel like I could turn till I fall off.

Four inch risers? That must feel odd to push with the board so high up.

not (relatively) odd as I'm 16in taller than average; but oddly it inverts itself due to some weird motion-schematic and i had to put the trucks on backwards to compensate.
