74 74 80 80 Setup

[m0rdecai89 1]

Bought a pair of skates on SS and the wheels had been switched from stock 76 76 80 80 to 74 74 80 80.

Of course the chassis is designed for 76 76 80 80 but could I get away with the 74 74 80 80 and would there be any disadvantages if so?

Thanks

If the chassis is designed to have the 4 wheels touching the ground with 76 76 80 80, then wheel 2 (1 being the front wheel) won't touch the ground with 74 74 80 80 wheels. And the front and back wheels will never touch the ground at the same time. What chassis is it?

It is the Alkali in house Rize chassis that is meant to have 76 76 80 80.

If I'm not mistaken, there's no rocker on that chassis so with 74 74 80 80 the result would be like I described in my other post. Because of geometry wheels 2 and 4 would be .5mm from the ground, or wheels 1 and 2 would be 1mm from the ground depending if your weight is on your toes or on your heels. It's not much but it's not ideal. Of course your weight would squash the wheels closing those gaps but the wheels would have uneven pressure on the court.
