Suggestions for 120 lbs rider 40" Evo with 60/40 split BN270 up to 40 mph? I think the plan was 87a fatcone/barrel in the front and chubby/barrel in the back with cup washers

They did! Sort of. A lot of forum stuff is hard to find

Is the 60/40 taking into consideration the deck angles? 60 degree front will not be much fun by the way

#1645

I would go for a similar arrangement to start with if the boards are setup the same:

I can do 49/41 or maybe 49/24 (gear drives rotate by 30 at a time) counting deck angles

Edit: looks like 24 in the rear is a no go, motors clip the baseplates screws

#1647

OK so 49/41 is what you can do?

#1648

Front is 60, 50, or 40 from the baseplate and +9 from the deck; back is 50 (or 40 if you really think I should) from the baseplate and -9 from the deck

I’ve got it set up as 49/41 and there’s no wheel or gearbox bite (inverted cone boardside and nothing else, this is the absolute max turn I’ll get)

I installed the 87a fatcone/barrel chubby/barrel and it feels like I’m not getting full turn but that’s with it just chilling on my floor

At 120, you can likely go to 84a KranK and fill in where needed with the 87’s that you have. To keep it simple, get a pair of 84a Barrels and run them up front and the 87a Barrels in the back

Aloha!

@RipTideSports, could I ask you for help with my setup?

  1. Flipsky 12" DKP clone
  2. Currently stock Chinese bushings, a bit too soft, get dangeours over 35 kmph (low stability + wobbles)
  3. I’m looking for something soft enough to bounce from curb to curb at 10-30 kmph, but stable and predictable 30+ kmph. I need to eliminate the wobbles of death.
  4. Street cruising, moderate carving, AT 7" pneumatic wheels
  5. 41" twin drop through, no bitey risk at all
  6. 65-70 kg

Here comes the hard part:
I know that probably ordering the DKP 90/93 krank kit would cover my needs, but I do not have any local distribution and purchasing this from abroad makes cost insane.

Would you be so kind to take a look at the website linked below and let me know if there is a chance to select some sufficient set for me from what they offer?

Thanks!

It appears their selection is very limited, easer to go direct to our website to get a configured kit for the Flipsky 12" DKP in the drop down menu. For your weight and what you described you are looking for, I would suggest the 87/90 kit

#1655

Hey,
@RipTideSports what would you recommend:

  • 50° e-caliber trucks
  • 70kg rider + 5kg board
  • TB110 wheels and no wheel bite in sight
  • TB40 deck not mounted on drop through and 10mm flat risers
  • Stock bushings are way to soft even at low speed, already gets dangerous at like 20kmh
  • looking for a setup compromising stable at ~45kmh but also on the soft side at low speed to get around the city
  • I’ll also change the pivot cup

Small gripe but add your location/country in your profile so people can recommend where to get different baseplates and stuff.

Nice formated question though!

#1657

The first thing i would do is get away from a symmetrical 50 degree setup that you want to go 45 kph on.
