I have been a big fan of Dickyho mounts.
Been though several of his different design itterations.
I have used them on Paris Trucks, Calibers, And TB 218s.
I like the that you can set them at any angle and you can use or not use idlers. I also like the crossbar options.
Unfortunately the very last set I got is not staying put. It has a bit of a defect and the thread on 2 of the set screws stripped on the very first set up.
So I got some Boardnamics mounts. The no idler version.
I am really, really, really liking the look. Hope they perform as well as they look.
Set up was very easy with just a bit of filling the hanger on the top and bottom.
I did not use any locktite since it is all nylon lock nuts… May have to address that later…
Yep the dickys on calibers are harder to lock the angle without modifing the insert, i also ditched his bracing in favor of lighter neater threaded m4 rod and anodised drink straws stainless steel. Black or matching blue you can fit 3
youp fucking hate setscrews!
especially back in the days when you didn’t know any better and used cheese grade allan keys and with tiny parmesan grade setscrews.
Wera hex L-key is a must if you must use some hex style junk.
But ideally you wanna go with torx and 12.9 steel and up the setscrew size + loctite ofc.
I wonder if you could use 648 loctite between the motor mount and the caliber insert thing och dickys caliber mount. or it might be better to go for some thinner loctite “retaining compound” as you are squeezing he shit out of the gap between the insert caliber insert motor mount with the large motor mount screw.
looks good but from the pictures it looks relly low to the ground like 1-2 CM. u must have good roads in ur town. and the profil of the deck looks amazing what model is that?
Yep. I’m six foot and after riding the DB Paradigm which is 41 inches I realized I liked really long standing platforms. So comfortable for long rides. So I got the Rayne and loved it so much I freaking bought a second one…
Yeah I really love having a wide stance, my main board is an Atom, similar shape to boosted but with a nice deck width. It is pretty decent but I like it because I can scoot my legs apart as far as I want.
