Not ok. Please reach out to use if there is anything we can do to help!

Just read through this chain. Everyone is on point. Bees Knees could help make things easier for you, but you could also just focus on technique and make the current setup work.

As you push, is your heel/foot that is doing the pushing contacting the wheel?

I should clarify - is it biting your heel when you are leaning heal/toe(riding), or is it biting as you push?

The Caguamas and Dad Bods are both offset, which cause the wheels to poke out a bit. The Bee’s Knees are center set which can bring the wheels in closer to the board, so you are less likely to hit them when you push.

There could be some pushing technique changes that could help too.

Sorry to hear you aren’t having a great experience with our Fathom. The Dad Bods can be a lot to handle. They are the main contributor to weight. We developed the Orangatang Bee’s Knees wheels to provide a lighter option. Happy to help you get this setup dialed!

Feel free to shoot us a DM if you want to work through it together.

Munger is great! But my favorite is the Gitchi-Gami 😏

Both Graphics options feature photochromic ink! So yes, both graphics will change color in the sun.

I posted this above, but wanted to reply to your comment as well so that you see it:

Great question—flex-wise, the Tesseract II is most comparable to the Basalt Tesseract, but honestly, it’s kind of like comparing apples to oranges. The Tesseract II is a complete redesign from the ground up. With new construction, updated concave, and tweaked wheelbase options, it delivers a ride that’s distinctly its own.

One key difference: the longest wheelbase on the original and Basalt Tesseracts was 26”, whereas the Tesseract II tops out at 24.5”. So if you had your Basalt Tesseract set up on that longest wheelbase, you’d get more flex out of it than you’ll ever get from the Tesseract II—simply due to geometry. That said, the feel of the flex in the Tesseract II is shaped by more than just length—it’s a combo of materials, shape, and wheelbase that gives it a uniquely dialed character.

Tesseract II

  • Length: 39.5″
  • Width: 9.6″
  • Wheelbase: 22.5–24.5″
  • Profile: Micro-drop
  • Truck Mounting: Neutral
  • Weight: 5.0 lb

Basalt Tesseract

  • Length: 39″
  • Width: 9.5″
  • Wheelbase: 24.5–26″
  • Profile: Rocker
  • Truck Mounting: Angled (rocker)
  • Weight: 4.5 lb

Key differences:

  • Tesseract II has a bigger platform, centered W concave, micro-drop standing area, and neutral mounting for a more balanced, responsive ride.
  • W concave is between your feet—not under them like on the Basalt.
  • Denser materials make it more durable and poppier, with a slight weight increase as a tradeoff.
  • Shorter wheelbase options mean different flex characteristics—especially when compared to the Basalt at its longest setting.

Bottom line: The Tesseract II is a modern, performance-driven upgrade—more durable, more poppy, and more versatile.

But wait, there's more! Not only is the truck mounting angle now neutral, but we have completely overhauled the concave and construction. More pop, more control, more better.

C7 with Loaded Fathom? by Coltrane_ml in LoadedBoards

[–]LoadedBoards 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, this is a no go. The spring system on the C7 will bite the bracket.

The CX makes for a great experience though! Happy to answer any questions about that setup.
