Looking to buy a hanger that is slightly bent because straight hangers are trash, and my current bent hanger is not long enough to use with my new motor set up. I need the axle width to be 12.5 in / 32cm and for it to be compatible with RKP.
*Update: no more set size requirements. Just tell me what the total hanger length is (including the axles) and I’ll see if I have something I can use it with. Or if it is cheap enough I’ll buy it anyway for future use
I only really need one hanger for the front truck but if someone has multiple I might buy several at once. If anyone has any larger raked hangers then I would also be interested in that as well since it is similar to what my bent truck does.
If I can’t buy one that is already bent, then I’ll just have to sacrifice a deck to bend my current one in a week once the paint on it is fully cured. Please sell me your “damaged” hangers to save the deck
On my front trucks only because they feel better while carving and riding in general compared to a straight hanger. Took my bent one off for a week or two to sand and paint it and had to use a straight hanger during that time. As soon as I swapped them back it was immediately better feeling. Bushings and king pin tightness was the same on both hangers.
It didn’t start off as intentional since my only hanger was bent 2 years ago but at this point it is an intentional choice. Straight hangers feel like trash to me
Plus now I know about raked trucks which I now can look at from afar in hopes someone ever makes them longer If they made them long enough then a reverse rake set up would mimic what my bent truck does currently.
The hanger width is what I need for total width. So close yet still so far away from being usable with my motor system (mounts are non removable from the trucks)
I just need bent hangers that are 320 mm total length so it doesn’t need to be BN270s specifically. Also it would still be possible, I think, to find them bent if someone had their board run over by a car
Edit: I was very wrong. BN270s have weak very axles
If they made them long enough then a reverse rake set up would mimic what my bent truck does currently.
