ProtoTYPO | 12s5p Prototipo Build Log

Front hanger is a flipped backwards hanger, however the baseplate is modified and shifted towards the nose to cause the hanger to be in the same position as a center set hanger (hope that makes sense). I had to do this for enough clearance with the SR125s.

Rear hanger is a standard centerset.

The stripes helped line everything up.

the BRP hubs are almost done, i swear :rofl: I picked up the prototype hubs before esk8con, and they’re almost perfect. Just a couple tolerances i need to adjust and then they’re off for the final batch, i’ll probably have an update in a week with that.

It’s an absolute beauty!

I’ve got a plan in the works for a pretty similar board! Dualities, SR125s, Tomiboi Hellhound mountainboard deck with a single stack 20S3P.

How is the ride feel? How much lean can you get from the trucks without scraping?

The ride feel is amazing on smooth roads. Wheels grip really well and allow for confident deep carves. On rough roads the ride isn’t great since the deck has zero flex now with the added carbon along with the airless wheels.

In terms of lean, I can lean all the way to the lean stoppers without scraping the deck or getting wheel bite. It’s important to keep in mind that the only reason I can achieve this is because I have “shifted” baseplates that cause the hanger to be in the center set position. @Titoxd1000 made these for me before centerset hangers came about. This prevents wheel bite while still giving enough ground clearance for the duality trucks in comparison to centerset hangers.

These are the “shifted” baseplates with stock hangers in reverse position.

These are stock baseplates with centerset hangers.

The centerset hangers would have very little ground clearance for the baseplate assembly compared to the shifted baseplates. The shifted baseplates sit higher off the ground in comparison to the axle position.
