Risers, when do I need those things? Bought a complete skateboard with standard 54mm wheels and have put some 58mm soft wheels underneath for cruising through the neighborhood for the little one. Do I need risers?
If you try to turn and your wheels bite the deck, you need risers. That is, if your trucks are as tight as possible for the turning circle you want.
Recommended you don’t experience wheel bite at speed. Spicy deja vu thinking of the wrist sprains.
I’ve bought some very thin rubber ones to dampen the vibrations.
