5 is good enough for a stable back i think...
15 is so close to the 17 that u can tell a significant difference?

gotta say, really tempted to give these plates a try

[Xgecko]

Weird double post

oooo tempting me I have a 15º and have been thinking about a 10º

For the record a 15º doesn't feel much like a stock plate at all

[Petary791]

Do you think the 15º leans more than the stock plate? I'm looking for a little more lean than the stock but still turn. If you're down on a trade, PM me!

EDIT: That being said, I still want a 5º way more than a 15º, so if you've got one and want a 0º hit me up!

[guivans]

I think you might be overthinking stuff...Ever imagined if Dave made 0,1,2,3,4.....16 plates?
It would be a mess...In the end, its gotta be you that must adapt to the board!
You still have plenty of tunning available, bushings, wheels, you changing the way to ride the board for a certain setup, since the more you ride, the more used to it and more confortable on it...

By this im not saying not to change 10 for 5, just that to always remember to ride what you have and forget about all those "Porsches and Ferraris" you see around.......

Honestly I'm probably over thinking it. I think the 15º turns less than stock I could never push the front end out into a drift on stock plates it's cake with a 15º. I'm happy with what I have and I'll be staying at 15º/5º for the winter I am done changing my setup until springtime sorry that's why I said tempting

[Petary791]

I feel you there, for some reason I could not break traction with stock/dewedged Indys AT ALL when I had them on my Voodoo.

So I haven't been able to find a protractor anywhere and lord knows I'm not gonna buy one so does anyone know the exact pivot angle of a stock Indy, and a 15º/10º/5º/0º Cindy?

[Xgecko]

17º is a stock indy according to Sandwich (and a number of other people)

[Petary791]

[guivans]

I have no idea, but in this case it doesnt matter, since the hanger is the same in all these situations, so its just a point u cannot adjust!
But why so curious?

[Xgecko]

Pivot angle, not kingpin angle.

duh....look in the new Indy Hanger thread....I measured and posted it in there someplace

[Petary791]

Oh yeah, I'm looking it up now and I saw you got 60º for stock, and that's always what I thought. I'll keep digging to find the other degrees; they're in there right?

[streetheap]

After tinkering with all the different plates a bunch, I've come to the realization it's almost impossible to compare these to a standard perpendicular turning angle (but we already knew that)

With normal 215 hangers, I can make my 0* turn as much as anywhere from a 28-35* 180mm Randal (roughly- we all know how hard it is to gauge)
5* - 35-42*
10* - 42-50*
15* - 50-57*

All with simple bushing tweaks. If I use a big, soft bushing to cut down on the slop and crank up the twitch factor, these trucks become very reactive and dynamic even with the 0* plate.

Honestly I think that alot of people are overthinking and overtweaking there skateboards.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I just dont see the advantage of this from stock indy's

What kind of boards are you all riding that making sure your set-up is as low as possible?

I tried dewedging the rear truck for more stability, only to find out I'd rather crank down my bushings when I know I'm going faster.

Is this more of a slalom thing now?

I think you're just better than me to be honest. And slalom is awesome.

i kinda agree with that, im more of a fan of flat indys rather than dewedging them. flat with soft tight bushings.

No, king pin angle.
