Why not buying any second hand hanger and bend it in a controlled way so you get the form you want ?
I donāt think being run over by a car counts as controlled though
If anyone does have an old and used hanger that has a total length of 32cm that they want to sell then I might be interested in it. That way if the bending doesnāt work I will still have a usable hanger.
Thatās my point, the probability you find a truck accidentali bent the exact way you want is nil
So you need to find a way to bend it more acurately
bad news, I checked all my leftovers and I must have purged my banana hangers when I cleaned out the garage this last time. Sorry bro. I thought for sure I had plenty of them.
As tempting as that looks, I think it might be a bit too far gone the contact patch of the wheel to the ground with that much of a bend would be almost non existent.
I know that feeling when you finally toss something out only for it to then be useful not long after. Thanks for looking for them
No problem. I thought I kept more junk for my epoxy esk8 river table Iām going to make, but it looks like I mostly kept stators and blown controllers. I may need to strip parts off the graveyard wall for this table now.
Iāve got an old crappy hub motor that I destroyed the sensors on if you want it to add to the table. The strator for it looks pretty cool when alone and it isnāt a good enough motor to bother trying to fix it anyway
that would be dope! I should do a build thread on it and let people send me their broken stuff and add it in before the big pour.
It is probably the least wasteful way to add in a motor to it since they are pretty durable and easy to fix. The motor still works sensor less which is why I didnāt toss it but I probably wonāt end up using it anyway. Just pay for the shipping and its yours.

Theyāre in the UK and are not RKP compatible (I think)
Why does no one want to sell me their trash
@whaddys Doooooiiiiiiiiit
Missed this.
If you want some more hangers for that table, I have tkp and rpk surfrod hangers and a baseplate. Even have a lone psychotiller tkp hanger and base plate. A few caliber 2 hangers and base plates. And once Iām done with current build, Iāll have a mbs mm2 hanger and base plate you can use.
All above mentioned is spares to me. Most of them are single and I have no urge to get them set-ed back together. Think donation to what will be esk8 history one day lol. The table better be a real thing or Iāll be highly disappointed lol.
@ApproachCautiously buy some hangers of your liking and a 6ft length of steel pipe. Clamp the hanger in something solid. Put the pipe over the end of the hanger. Bend the hanger easily with your massive leverage. Profit?
I think you are greatly overestimating my strength and how much I weigh. Also skating home with 6ft of pipe might be a bit hard
Iāve skated home with legit furniture on many occasions ā on a shortboard. Itās not as difficult as it sounds.
Sometimes itās actually easier because you donāt have to disassemble it to fit it in the car.
Strength is irrelevant, just get a longer pipe. Itās a force multiplier.
Torque multiplier*
