He would have bought them out of spite if they were CNC ramen
Omg I feel like a celebrity
Anyways I asked because something reminded me about the vetting of trucks
I’m interested in the vetting as well. The other trucks at this point has had many hours of riding, but what about these trucks.
Im particularly interested in the strength of how the hangar is assembled. Seems like a potential point of failure to me since it’s not one solid piece.
That was Ethan’s concern as well, and the new hangers being manufactured right now have a solid axle all the way through (not slip fit like the photo you posted). Should be quite a bit stronger.
Oh ok I must’ve missed that
Has he provided a timeline on that? I’m super excited to start using these as soon as I get the new hanger
Probably a couple weeks. Around new year it was around 3 weeks. I have a new set of 4GS on the way and I’m just having it all sent together
I did analysis on cad, it was showing solid as mymountain board truck…but personally i don’t think it is accurate enough, due different treatments and steel.
i been seeking new material for the axles, the new triplelinks is going to use completely new type of steel for manufacturing the axles.
Could I request a tunnel riser version?
Sure. How tall would you like it and approx how large of a tunnel?
Here are a couple quick ones I made. Both are 10mm tall. Included are the .step files so you can chop them up as you please!

Question. Would there be a benefit to just replacing my front trucks with 3link?
Imo, the front truck is 80%+ of ride feel, rear is tour rudder.
I currently srb HD up front spaced out to be slightly narrower than the bn220 rear.
Ill flipflop from that and a savage tkp up there occasionally.
Imo its a good way to test the waters b4 diving in the deep end and replacing the while drivetrain.
That’s what I was thinking. Probably getting a set and change the front of both thane and pneumatic board before real commitment and new build.
Thane on 3links is quite fun.
Holding high speeds was too easy that I delammed quite a few.
I think I got it to where I want it feels right for a trampa style deck. Turning radius is

You might want to double check with Ean to make sure the angle you have the truck sets are going to work with mountain board geometry.
