Hey, I'm new to this forum, joined after I was introduced by my friend, sector9_freek. Shout-out!
Anyways, I'm getting a Loaded Dervish (Woohoo!) and would like to know if my setup is good, or not. I'm getting this from Daddies Board Shop, if it matters.
Flex1
Paris 180mm black trucks
76mm 75a Gumballs ~~~~!!! I am now getting Oranatang In-Heats 80a!!!~~~~
Sector9 Abec9 Bearings + Bearing spacers
So, just wondering if this is a good setup, and any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks!
P.S. This is an amazing forum.

Sounds good  Depending on your weight think about a flex 2 and just from my opinion I would get some otangs instead of the gumballs. Also try the Oust mach nine air bearings... nothing but good things to say about those  |

daddies board shop can take their board shop and stuff it  . They sent me a blemed Nemesis and didn't do anything what so ever about replacing it, I know it wasn't them making the board, but they did nothing about my problem but blame it on others. Support Canadian distributers. |

it could be an american price you are seeing, but the board store will match any Canadian currency price wich means you can compare to an american dealer but you must give me the am price and i will convert

Well if your only a hundred pounds then you could definitely get a flex 2 or a flex 3 unless your going to try to downhill on it  then get a flex 1. Otangs are not hard you can get the orange ones and you will grip until you want to push it out and the drifts are consistent and not scattered... (reflex)I find anyways. Plus they have a huge lip. On a different note, one suggestion could be NOT getting a dervish if you want to downhill, unless you want to carve and slide "downhill". Depending on your size look into a Drop speed because they aren't very expensive or maybe a rayne nemesis. Crails are also a very sweet and inexpensive downhill truck that goes great with a nemesis. Bears or randals go really good with the drop speed but you might have to sand the cutout to fit Randals. There are many other choices but I own those two and don't have one bad thing to say about them . Sorry for the story, hope this helps |

I guess yeah once you work them in... if you want to stick like crazy then try to get a wheel between the duros of 75a and 78a, like Retro Pinks or lots of other types of abec11 thane (Gumballs, Grippins or even a soft flywheel)
