DCott 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2009 I wouldn't recommend it, you would have way too much rocker. If you lean back, you will be on your 80s, and both 72s will be off the ground, because the axles are set up higher on the chassis for the 76s. If you lean forward, only the 1st and 3rd wheels will touch the floor. Might as well play with no 2nd wheel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darshu 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2009 yeah why did they make em with 76's now instead of 72's?Large rolling diameter equals better top speed and more stopping surface. That's the reason guys like the all-80 frames like the Hummer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smtevo 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2009 I dont think that would work either, I guess if they didnt rub at all but you might have some trouble skating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I want to try the 76 76 80 80. I switched from the old style hi lo's to hummr's because of the lack of grip with 72mm wheels up front. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
