Compatible Truck Sizes

For a 7.75" deck like the Plan B Original Gustavo, the truck axle width should closely match the deck width for optimal performance. Only Independent Trucks and Venture Trucks are included:

Independent Trucks:

• Size 129 (7.6" axle width): Slightly narrower but compatible, offering a nimble setup for street skating.
• Size 139 (8.0" axle width): Perfect match for 7.75" decks, providing a balanced setup for street and park.

Venture Trucks:

• Size 5.0 (7.6" axle width): Compatible for a lightweight, agile setup, ideal for technical skating.
• Size 5.2 (8.0" axle width): Ideal match for 7.75" decks, offering stability and smooth turning.

General Guideline: Trucks with an 8.0" axle width (Independent 139 or Venture 5.2) are the best match for this deck, while 7.6" trucks (Independent 129 or Venture 5.0) offer a slightly narrower stance for agility.

Preferred Wheel Sizes

The 7.75" Plan B Original Gustavo deck’s compact size supports a range of wheel sizes based on skating style:

• 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. These wheels provide a mix of speed and maneuverability, perfect for most skaters using this deck.
• 55-56mm: 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 a 7.75" deck, 50-54mm wheels are most popular for street-focused setups, while 54-56mm wheels are better for park skating. Opt for harder wheels (83A or higher) for street and softer wheels (80A-83A) for skatepark surfaces.
