What is wheelbite, and can I fix it?

Wheel bite occurs when you make a sharp turn (max turning rate) and the wheels touch the board. If this happens chances are that the board will stop immediately and makes you take a possible nasty fall. You can check it when you are standing still and put maximum pressure on one edge of the board, if there is enough room between your wheel and the board, you should be ok. If your wheel touches the board there are 4 things you can do:

- Put a (bigger) riser between your truck and your board.

- Mount smaller wheels

- Harder bushings (might help)

- Create wheel wells / make cut-outs in your board (final resort).

Check bushings guide to see how to get the best bushings set up for your board.
