Thanks, that makes perfect sense, you did not miss a trick

My pleasure…
I tested with like 10 different kingpings and 20 different bushings and pivot cups to find the balance and make it works with most of them. That’s why the several tries I went through
Only problem I have now I can not pair back the tested kingpings, bushings and pivot cups with the original trucks! Well I always mix anyway.
Hi! You better follow the trread I will post it here everytime. Otherwise I will forget
hell yes
I can confirm. Everyone t asks better pictures then me
Following lol
sigh and my shopping list grows…
@rey8801 I think I got it but can you confirm this is a valid way to measure/set truck angle?
BTW I can’t believe how meticulous you were with the slot the kingpin nut slides into. P-E-R-F-E-C-T fit.
Riptide Caliber II pivot cups working for me for MF hanger and for TB218 hanger.
I can confirm: good way to measure truck angles.
Perfect way. I also have the same angle meter and I was still using a manual ruler
Anyhow when the front edges are flushing is 50 degree, then every steps is about 5 degree adjustments so you can also count
Don’t tell me about the nut because I measured so many of them and was always wrong once made the parts. That part was quite tricky indeed. I was happy when the magic numbers came together
with @3DServisas fatboy
these and the nano drives make my evo usable with only 5mm of risers!
I couldn’t do this before ~7mm clearance at max lean
@rey8801 I want more, I really like how quick I can swap hangers, no more messing with kingpins ruining settings - I want a thane set and a pneumatic set, sign me up for more !
Edit: was only 5mm risers
Man that was the whole idea
Minimized stupid tall raisers and run assymetrical deck easier than ever. I am really happy it works out for you too!
Ya dude. I think you might already have a market for another round! Have you started planning for that? I know myself and @stratoglide are each in for a pair. Same city just saying…
Do you have a timeline @rey8801 for making more of these?
Cheers broski.
Run another GB is not a problem, but as I said I want some feedbacks first. No reason to remake it the same if you can improve it a bit. If not needed, then it will be even faster.
Mmmm after having a play with them, I might want another set for an Evo too, which is designed around 35deg baseplates? (thanks @sk8l8r)
Extras of the hangar part might be nice too, to swap out drivetrains easily for A/B testing. Maybe. It’s addictive how easy it is to swap things around.
Is that a blood orange stepped barrel poking through or the narrow end of a cone?
Hi! Since the first time was a really short GB that was open for like 2 days due to me wanted the parts
Here a second round. I will leave it open for a good 7-10 days. Closes on 30/06/19
You can go through this and the other forum threads to see all the story and pictures, but here a brief summary.
Some pictures are from the guys from the 1st GB, You can recognised them since they are better than mine Thx for them guys!
1 set includes 2 base plates + kingpins, nuts and bolts (fine for a board), it can be Raw or Matt Black.
Price 135$ + shipping. Based on the 1st GB 21 Euro shipping to US and from 6 to 20 Euro to EU. rest of the world depends where you are. Of course I can put them in bigger box and ship them together to US and shipping goes down a lot.
Here the form and let’s see if we get to a decent number to make it happen again. Thx everyone!
