Over the last year or so, I've tinkered a lot with my set-ups. At this point in my 40-year skate "career" I've tried pretty much every dimension of deck, truck, and wheel that is out there. With all said and done, I have two main set-ups. Both are "all-purpose" completes, but one leans more towards agility, and the other towards stability. I decided to post about these now, at the very start of the year, so I can see how my set-ups evolve, if at all, over the next twelve months. Will I still be riding these two set-ups in Jan 2026? Most likely. Anyway, the two set-ups are:
*Since I ride the same size wheel on both set-ups, I can swap wheel shapes out on these, as the mood/terrain sees fit. I also have a set on 53mm 93a Spitfire Classics than I can use when super-crusty spots mandate. I think you can get Spitfire Radials and Conical Fulls in 93a. It might be worth looking into those, as wider riding surfaces can help mitigate the "crust" of really crusty spots. That said, the Radial and the Conical Full are both pretty big/wide wheels, and I'm not really a fan of snow tires. We'll see.
It also just occurred to me...it might be interesting to track how many decks, trucks, and sets of wheels I go through in a year...but I also may not want to see how much $$$ that adds up to!
