Compatible Truck Sizes
The Clone Calyx 58mm 99A wheels are best paired with decks from 8.25" to 8.75", ideal for park and transition setups. Compatible truck sizes from Independent Trucks and Venture Trucks include:
Independent Trucks:
- Size 144 (8.25" axle width): Ideal for 8.25" decks, offering a balanced setup for park and transition skating.
- Size 149 (8.5" axle width): Perfect for 8.5" to 8.75" decks, providing extra stability for larger setups.
Venture Trucks:
- Size 5.6 (8.25" axle width): Suitable for 8.25" decks, delivering lightweight performance and responsive turning.
- Size 5.8 (8.5" axle width): Ideal for 8.5" to 8.75" decks, offering a stable setup for park and transition skating.
General Guideline: For an 8.25" deck, trucks with an 8.25" axle width (Independent 144 or Venture 5.6) are the best match, while 8.5" trucks (Independent 149 or Venture 5.8) suit slightly wider 8.5" to 8.75" decks for added stability.
Wheel Sizes
The Clone Calyx 58mm 99A wheels are included in this set and are ideal for park and transition skating. If replacing with other wheels, the following sizes are compatible with typical 8.25" to 8.75" decks:
- 50-52mm: Ideal for technical street skating. Smaller wheels lower the center of gravity, enhancing control for flip tricks and grinds on ledges or rails. Recommended with low trucks to avoid wheelbite.
- 53-54mm: A balanced choice for street and park skating, providing a mix of speed and maneuverability.
- 55-58mm: Suited for skateparks or mixed terrain. Larger wheels offer faster rolls and smoother rides over cracks or ramps, best with mid or high trucks and risers if needed.
- General Guideline: For 8.25" to 8.75" decks, 55-58mm wheels are most popular for park and transition setups, while 50-54mm wheels suit street skating. Opt for harder wheels (83A or higher) for street and smoother surfaces, and softer wheels (80A-83A) for rougher terrain.
