165's on an 11?
Doc,
I've got a 165 Giotto that I intend to put on an 11 Diamond Walker boot. Thoughts / hints / suggestions? How terrifyingly short will that be? I have a 170 on my current Bonts - which are 42's, and it's not too bad - although I think I put it too far forward. My front wheels are closer to my big toe than the ball of my foot. I've noticed in some builds - some guys mount the plate what looks like center of the boot... I assume it's to get proper axel placement? Any input would be most helpful. And if you have pics of something similar, that'd be all the better.  Thanks, Bob |

Closer to the toe than the ball is further forward than I go.. How tos?? There are pages of discussion on Ask Doc Sk8 and the quad forums.. You got more homework to do..

It can be done, I skated those 165's on my size 11.5 and 12's and loved them!
