Split wheel setup front/rear


  • I am interested in experimenting with a split wheel setup on my landyachtz evo.

    My friend suggested to me to put more slidey wheels in the back, with more substantial grip in front. However my gut says this would not be the best idea. I expect that with such a setup, low angle slides/scrubs/checks would uncontrollably swing out into pendies every time.

    I don't know many riders who ride split wheel setups but I expect that some of you will. I am curious about your considerations.





  • Posting the second part of my experimental setup and planned experiment as a comment, because I'd like this thread to be a more general discussion, and not necessarily centered around my personal experiment.

    For my first experiment: I'm planning to put snakes in front and krimes (wide lip facing outwards) in back.

    Context: I have a wider truck in back and a narrower truck in front. This is on a Landyachtz Evo

    My hypothesis: is that the extremely wide setup in back should scrub out very smoothly, but if they start to really ice out, the less grippy wheels in front would be eager to follow. I expect this will do the opposite of overswinging and instead, allow me to consistently stay in the scrub zone between grip and slip, and even do easily controlled checks. The narrower truck up front along with the centerset nature of snakes should retain some control of my hookup.
