Flipping the Kingpin?

[devilkeely]

Can someone enlighten me on the reason for plipping the kingpin? I'm running the indy 215's on my DH settup with the stock orange bushings.

you dont need to flip kingpins on indys

you dont need to flip kingpins on indys

So is it a Randall thing? Just curious

[karrot]

yeah.. it puts the stress on the bolt head, which is stronger than the treads

that makes sense, i was looking at the DH's i just don't like how they feel. I'm digging the indy's though, freakin awesome!

[karrot]

how stable are indys for dh? what board do you use?

[devilkeely]

They're pretty stable in a dropthrough when you lower the CG. They feel completely diferent that any other conventional truck i've used. Veryresponsive. As far as the deck I dropthroughed my 46" dregs speedboard. Actually i just finished it 4 hours ago, and I'm trying to figure out how to post a pic right now

[devilkeely]

crappy pic but you get the idea. really long, low, fast, turney, and stable at high speed

[karrot]

thats pretty a cool board

So what is the correct orientation? I dont want to just go ahead of flip my kingpin around without knowing for sure if it was incorrect to start with... I have read a few threads where one board came with it the prefered way and the other from the same company needed to be flipped.

Sorry to recap, it just helps me understand better. I was also curious about the kingpins on randalls. So when you flip them, the threads are on the top?
