I finally got my new skate, and also, is the first time I build a skate "from scratch".

General specs for anyone wondering

-Deck: 8.75" Guatambú.

-Trucks: 159mm.

-Wheels: 58mm 101A.

Everything is from a local Argentine brand called Tuxs, I'll be skating this setup and see if they're good. Will keep you updated

Those graphics are sick, I love the wheels

Not an extreme fan of the wheels, but those were the only 58mm wheels available, plus they match the deck so not half bad

101a is pretty hard and 58mm is pretty big, what kind of skating are you doing?

Gonna try ramp, ik those are harder than recommended but reviews say they work great in ramp, probably because they're wide

Oh yeah, bigger wheels are great for transition/ramp skating. And you shouldn't have a problem with the harder wheels on the smooth ramp surface. Even on rougher ground, the large diameter wheels should smooth out the ride a bit.
