I have 35/30 decks on both my MIII set ups.
I put 10 degree risers on the back to make it 35/20
So for you I would suggest 5 or 10 degrees on the back.

Regarding adding risers.
A couple 3D printed options.
5 degrees.
10 degrees.
@AlexB can you please share… (Lost mine)
Also MBS makes these real deal proper angled risers you can get.
15 degrees.

Thanks for the info, appreciate it - def been thinking about getting a cheap 3D printer since it comes up a lot in eskate for stuff like this.

If you need I would be glad to print them and Mail them out.
But yeah. I just make stuff on a cheap ender v3 SE and it has mostly worked…

Man i had another quick 40km ride yesterday on the Flux , i’m really digging the 93A’s ! I’m getting used to them🤙🏼 Even at higher speeds with a D on the back (1mm preload) it feels good.
I do think the Matrix3 design already brought more stability compared to the Matrix2’s, but yeah the bushings are pretty much the icing on the cake, the cherry on top…
the bottom actually😁

Did you split angles?
Never liked angled risers because of the uneven way of putting stress on things when mounting + tightening up
Those angled nut holders seem very good !
Earlier I was already thinking something like this up , this is exactly that + a lot better because of the nut holder. Can’t print but my battery-builder-dude has a printer, gonna look him up

What does the Flux board have ; angle wise ?

Pretty sure it’s 30/30
Did you lessen the rear angle on your Flux btw ?

No. My Flux has Dualitys. They are split angle.

Picked up a 93A set and did a second ride last weekend. The 93A felt good to me and replicated the feel I had on the 90A I liked with very little preload comparitively, 1mm or so - just a half turn or so past snug. I was using the same shapes - B front, C2 back.
There were a lot of big loose gravel sections on the trail & I was feeling a bit sketchy on those but tightening up the front just a bit fixed it - I’m a beginner at riding so prob not necessary for more experienced ppl.
Now that I have the two sets I think next I’m going to experiment doing dual C2: 90 front / 93 back to see if that has any benefits.

Thought I’d post another follow up - I tried out a 90 C2 front and 93 C2 back setup which was good, very predictable and stable but I felt the back was a little stiff.
So the next ride I tried 90 C2 front 90 D back and I think this is the one I want to go with for a while. To me the back feels stable but responsive at minimum preload so I have room to tighten for sketchier terrain. Last thing I have to try is the wedges @rafaelinmissouri was nice enough to send me to see how they might affect things.
Glad to have the two durometer / shape set for playing around again a bit though after I’m less sick of taking the trucks apart to switch things up ha. Could picture wanting 93 B in the front again.
I’m really happy with the MIII trucks with these in them - compared to the Trampa and Apex air trucks I’ve tried they’re super responsive. The remaining type of trucks I see on here often I haven’t gotten to try are the dualitys (someday) but it’s hard to picture they would turn better, maybe just have less vibration from the way the bushings pad them?

Welp…
I just caved
I ordered a third set of Matrix III.
I can’t deal with regular channel trucks anymore.
