So so so true. I find myself doing math when ordering risers. Albeit just comparing fractions but still. Just put the angle next to the damn thing.

For those less adept, take the tall side minus the short side for length value “a” then the overall length of the riser for length value “b” to calculate angle “a”.

No totally understand. No rush at all just curious was all. Wasn’t sure if it was just covid related that you guys were out or because there seems to be less demand for SR pivot cups.
I wasn’t gonna use the SR Baseplates if you didn’t have pivot cups at all. I was gonna just get rid of them but if they plan to be in stock at some point I’ll keep them around.
Thanks.

Try to duplicate the Bioboards Thorium approach and sell the Surf-Rodz trucks

Is that accounting for angle of the deck? Or just Baseplates themselves ?
@RipTideSports Brad, I’m doing a really nonsensicle thing…for science reasons…I’m using SR TKP Adjustable baseplates (hammocks) drop through through a bustin’ maestro.
How would set up the angles for the most stability at high speeds…I know, it’s a slalom set-up, but plz, entertain this non-sense =/ FOR SCIENCE
Bushing/pivot cup/washer combo recommendation welcome as well =)
Baseplate themself

No problem. I can also agree that the Fatboy hangers are solid I have a lot of them and they have not let me down yet. I also have Surf Rodz and they are sadly now collecting dust…

Looking for some help with an Enertion Raptor 2.1 with Truck Bushing changes
Rider Weight 65kg
Running Ronin Pro Lite - 174mm 2.5mm + Rake with x2 Fruit Punch 92A Bushings, 90mm Boas 82a
Swapped Bushings on Ronins Ice Tea OEM with the Bump Stops configured bumpstops facing Boardside/Road.
In terms of Wheelbite, i’m not yet close to Deck wheelbite, Shredights however closer (hence the move to Ice tea…however are also taller - counting on the bumpstops there.
Giving the rear truck some life.
Issue: Rear Enertion Truck need’s and overhall.
-
The Rear Truck, Stock is x2 90a Barrels. - Ive changed this for Boardside Stock 90a and Roadside 83a Tall Barrel (Gives me a fair amount more lean and reduced wheelslip issues). Lacks return to Center. Odd Vibrations motors give off here or there also call for some attention.
Ive got some Chubby WFB bushings i wanted to experement with to add some boardside cusioning, but also was hoping it would give a slightly improved return to center than the barrel.
Went to try this out and it occured there were only Flat washers of that size - Ive only managed to scavenge a single Washer in the past that was cupped that fit around Chubby/Cone bushings. Do know where in EU/ebay anywhere where they are sold prehaps it’s XL? -
Pivot cup/tube replacement for Enertion baseplates - Thought it was based on Caliber the first cast they manufactured
-
Serperate matter
Only downside to the whole setup is it’s 45 front 50 rear, and Dewedging the rear adds too much height.
(tried it before and bent the baseplate > which convinently now gives -6 effectivley (am using a new baseplate now but open to rocking that old one to achive 45/44
Edit: Cleared up the post

I will try to get to this later today
1). Amish used to make them but they have gone under. The large flat washers should be adequate though.
2). Measurements would help to determine unless you have some stock Caliber II trucks lying around, you could see if the stock ones fit.
3). This is really odd what you are saying here, you would be better off increasing the front to 50 degrees to match the rear otherwise it will handle like a forklift!

- Large flats allow to move movement, quite intent on restricting boardside, thinking APS/Krank Tall Fatcone, or something. - I find it shocking that there’s no demand for this considering the benifits would imagine it would allow alot more tuneablity with the Riptide lineup
2 - I’ll try and measure
-
- Ronins from 42.5 - 45 was already surprisingly a jump. Running Ronins at 50 makes sense but also dosent thats going to be Super reponsive?
granted this one is a tough one - i would have used Bowyers adjustable baseplate system - but it apears in the design the cable managment was overlooked. Not so many handy options when at 45/50
If i snag some older motors with 8mm Axle i could just throw it on some 35 Ronins on the rears would be ideal.
looking at getting krank 93a for a tb218 trucks cant decide between cannons and barrels

Canon bushings are ever so slightly larger in diameter. 1" as opposed to .975". I’m not sure what size the TB bushing seat is but if you heave calipers you can measure it. @RipTideSports can tell you if it will or not. There’s a handy thread for it here: Bushing and Truck Setup Help Offered

What do you want to improve? Cannot answer your question unless your tell the type of handling you’re after!
