McMaster Carr will get to you same day or next day if you live in the US. Bill Kevin the difference :kiss:

Also, as a mechanical engineer & relatively experienced machinist… flat head would actually be mostly fine on that, especially for just a few days lol

i live canada !

and its not cheap the shipping cost me almost 150$ for this kit

I’ve had a socket head one on there for two months cuz one of the countersunk ones fell out lmao, it works just fine

@celica40 Idk what you’re on about dude what’s with the spam lol you chose to buy from an international seller of course shipping and stuff is gonna be expensive. Why bother making the seller ship you screws when you could easily pick some up from the hardware store

And going on about the calculator not being accurate by only 5kmh lmao of course not, there are so many variables. It’s a baseline number, theoretical, even. It’s been accurate for me

You’re saying that there’s not a single store, or amazon that you could get it from?

Yes, of course, it is an annoying mistake but still

I thought Canada was supposed to be Metric heaven lol it’s super annoying to get metric hardware in the US, but even I have two stores nearby that carry this kind of screw

Unless you live in Yeti land you can find one of the most common screw types pretty easily lol. I know in Ontario I’d never be like 15 mins away from a place with them.

Just wish Kevin some soggy poutine for dinner mate

This has happened to me before, he made it right and all is well. I’m SURE he will make it right, I get your frustrated but no reason to almost start slamming vendors if they are willing to fix the mistake. That’s just my take on it.

I dont use the flat head screws :person_shrugging: to easy to strip. The cap head screws are perfectly fine and I like how you can torque em super hard. Never have to heat em up to remove them bc red loctite doesnt stand a chance against that much force

so l make some research l found some countersunk screws on amazon , but still it make no sense to me to use flat screw on a concave surface . btw I don’t hate kevin at all , i hope he read this . i was in a bad mood yesterday

With a washer and red Loctite it’s a viable temporary solution

Yep, like I said, while it shouldn’t be on there, I have one on mine and it’s been fine. Definitely not the right way to do it lol

He might, if not you could email him and tell him you figured it out haha

how do y’all typically determine the degree that your adjustable baseplates are set to? anybody got a visual indicator or anything? trying to make adjust mine to suit my Evo deck a bit better

Trial and error. Gotta just try stuff out and see what feels right for you and your riding style.

Always wear safety gear and start really slow when testing out new hardware or new configs, and ride within your limits.

Could use a protractor app. To measure your degrees. A lot of it is trial and error. There are some baselines you can try. Like landyachtz recommends 35 degree plates for front and rear which get you 50-25 I think for angles

yeah I’ve tried a few different angles, but recently read that the Evo deck is designed for 35°… maybe I’ll try a protractor app or somethin

Evo is ±9 degrees, so 35-43 degrees is the sweetspot.
