Indy DH plate

[streetheap]

ok. i was thinking...
what if you dewedged the O* plate so it had a negative degree, and then flipped them 180* so that the KP was on the outside. basically running the plate backwards, but with the negative wedging would make it turn the correct way once turned backards.

or is that wrong? due to the hanger pivot angle?

just wondering. anyone wanna try it?

Dewedging a stock Indy 17* to our Cindrich 0* roughly makes for a perpendicular-style truck angle of 30* (at least that's what I'm feeling.). Unless my math is shitty............. you'd have to dewedge it roughly another 17 degrees to get to Randal-style equivalent of 0*.
Good luck if you wanna try it though.

These baseplated lean for eternity and don't really start turning until .75(eternity). Thats all I got from taking a few runs with them.

[Petary791]

Haha so you didn't like them then?

I've got a wedge kit coming and I don't need the 15º AFAIK so I'm gonna try it in the back while dewedging the front 7º still. I'm gonna try the O-Ring business. Do the Cindrich plates lose any of the Indy feel? I've seen mixed reactions about them.

EDIT: I'm running these on a 28" wheelbase too. I think that's what contributing to the really quick turning factor.

I think Indy baseplates work fine.

You must be the skating equivalent of the pytagorean theorem multiplied by the quadratic equation + Bruce Willis in Pulp Fiction (Butch).
In all seriousness, to respond to your boast post....so do I. Now get out there and win a race on them bad boys!

I vote that we call these Cindys from here on out. Who seconds?

since when did you run indys noobasaurus.

With the KP set at-
0* = roughly 30*
5* = roughly 40*
10* = roughly 50*
15* = roughly 60*

Lately I've also been using a 3/8" ID rubber O-ring between the bushings. It helps to take a little tiny bit of the slop out around the KP.

ive been running stock front and 0 back and it feels pretty damn good. but if this is true i really want to try like a 10 front and experiment by dewedging it like 3 because cindrich doesnt make a 7 . that should feel like a 45 right?

and where can you buy these 3/8 id rubber o-rings? home depot?

I've been thinkin Cindy's would be dope on a dedicated slide setup, simply because you'd be that much lower

I wish I could justify spending $90 to get 1/8" closer to the ground




p.s. 3rd'd 4th'd on Cindy's

[swisschez]

will you be selling individual baseplates? or is it a combo deal only?

answer anyone? i never caught it.

answer anyone? i never caught it.

he let me buy my 0 as a single but then i had to pay for shipping. i kind of regret it now because now i want a 10 too

I love Cindy for her calculative, enterprising mind and entrepeneurial spirit.

A 45? I wouldn't dewedge it, just roll the ten. Or stick with what ya got. I love the stock front 0 rear as well.
As far as Home Depot...I'm not sure as I've had a running boycott on both Home Depot and Lowe's since 2003, and if I remember right their tiny parts and pieces section sucked anyway. #### 'em. Go to Ace or True Value or Pacific Home Do it or whatever.

I've been riding my Indy's on a 23" wheelbase deck and 159 indys , the back is dewedged to 0* and its just not turny enough to get my surf on, I gotta try this 5* degree dewedge or 10*

the small wheelbase is making my high-tech runs fun again, just wish i could do the runs without having to grab rail to turn my board.


Now I understand why Mercado says he goes straight or sideways when it comes to sliding, I usually ride super-janky indy set-up, 18 or 19" wheelbase 36 pool decks with 6* wedging front and back, great for riding switch, but not james kelly "fast" switch.

I gotta start making prototypes 38-39" downhill decks all fibered up, the board im riding is dope...
