Zero wheel bite. Well it was an hour worth of work.
I actually cut the deck on the corner to do it. Basically took a Dremel with a router bit and slowly cut while checking for bite. I would apply a bit of pain on the tires and then step on the deck and lean as much as possible with trucks pretty loose. Where the wheel touches it would leave the paint on the deck. I would then remove it. Doing this 3-4 times I have one corner completely free from wheel bite. To do this on the rest 3 corners I simply traced the new outline on a paper and then used that as a template to Mark the rest of the corners with a permanent marker. Then boom, rest 3 cut within 10 mins.
X and y would be nice. Basicly how far is the mounting pattern away from the platform you stay on and how deep. I will use a bending maschine to bend some metall to recreate that drop

@torqueboards, the new replacement clamps that I got are wonderful. They also had this 11mm circular cutouts 5mm deep on one side and 3mm deep on the other side. Since I had the whole assembly cadded up I knew exat what length of shaft to put in between them. So I lathed a plastic tube to have 11mm OD and put M6 threads on them. That with the mount spacers/motor guard made the assembly absolutely perfect.
Is that the intended use of those holes on the clamp? BTW, oneside being 3mm and other side being 5mm meant that I had to grind a nut to be of 3mm height. What’s the right way to deal with it?
@mishrasubhransu haha you jus had to flip the clamp. It is for a support bar. We have some if you’re using our 218mm Trucks and 15mm wide belts. The support bar is on the 5mm depth side with a 3mm depth on the opposite side that way the bolt head is flushed. Email us for more info
It seems oddly stupid of me not to do that. I played around with it but I remember that the bolts would have been upside down. Anyway, that was too late in the night and I blame lack of sleep. Haha.
The deck is very stiff so pretty stable in that sense. I have been riding it comfortably without grip tape because my feet feel very secured pushed against the deep drop.
Pneumatic make it very comfortable and safe. I don’t fear getting stopped by twigs, rocks or cracks anymore. That has happened a few times before at low speed.
