G.O.G. Big Brother (Randal fit)

[stridey]

Ok, its not rocket science, but if you can visualise this..

The Axles are split in-line with the kingpin, so are in line with that, also they are in-line with the Pivot. No offsets in either direction. Thats an easy (ish) way to work out what clearances you'll get without actually seeing the hangers in the flesh.

So, they will ride lower than a Randal Hanger.

Using a longer kingpin (we advise a 2. 75" if you want to run barrels will drop the head of the kingpin by a further .1/8th" approx, taking a notional 45 angle, (I know most will run 42, but its close enough.) By having the nut under the hanger you can increase clearance because the kingping in effect rises as you tighten it.

The setups pictured show a rather loosely assembled truck. On Sunday I will photograph a 42 degree baseplate with bushings tight so you can see clearance, er, clearly!

May I see them mounted on a board please?

They're Cults on Franky's board. To hell with Venoms, CULT CULT CULT! They my favourite DH wheel of the moment. Both amazing grip and slide, totally kick the arse off zigzags

same with the shockers. wonder how they'd stack up against each other.

I was asking more about the hangers than the wheels...

Ive only had this setup to about 30mph on fairly straight bits off road. So i cant say what there all about yet. But like most things, if it looks right it prob is right.The shockers were only in because it was all i had to check set up, as to wheelbite. Its gotsome propoer ones in there now.. Ive got about 1/2 inch clearance betwix road and kingpin.

WE should have a wheel stand off, New UK brand vs. new US brand muahahaha!

Yep, i ordered them from Octane and got them the next day.

Yep, ordered 'em Thursday from Octane, but I don't know when they'll get here. I haven't received a tracking number.

[gavmck]

Bear in mind Franky is in the UK, and you guys are Americas, so that's probably why it's taking longer...

How's the kingpin clearance? What do they feel like? Grippy? slidey? Got lots of lean?

[Shift]

Finally got it set up. I've been waiting months for all the stuff to get here.





The kingpin is definitely low, but I'm waiting for some Elims to change that a little bit.

Awesome setup. GoGs are incredible. I'm trying to get some when I hit the lottery for $215.

[TM_Cruzer]

Have you ever ridden them? Just wondering.

Anyone know when the adjustable bp's coming out?

[duanelr]

Ohhhhhhhhh... Got it!

You can get it either with or without a spherical bearing in the hanger. Like this:



When would you want a spherical versus a urethane bushing, and vice verse? How does the ride change from one to another?
