Force C7 or Randal DH

**slalomkid624** · 04-02-2007 07:11 PM

I finally finished my DH board and i have some RII's but I wont something more stable so I can go faster more comfortably and not have my trucks as tight. So I was trying to decide between Force C7 or Randal DH. I was planning on setting them up with white Jimz bushings and 83mm 78a fly's. So do you guys have suggwstions please tell me. Thanx

I've never ridden randal dh but I have ridden Force C7's and they're nice. People on here seem to think they're an improvement over the randals. They turn supppper deep though so they're best on boards with full cutouts IMO.

Force trucks and white JimZ bushings are a real good fit.

if i were you i would stay with the randals. i think they are exquisit for downhill myself.

randal dh plates w/ 180 hangers is a better truck IMO, but force has new school, and much cleaner castings

Deeper than Randals ya think? What makes them do that?

the best idea i've heard is that the pivot cup may be softer. no one really knows for sure though.

force c7s turn deeper than stock randal dh becuase the hanger isnt as restrictive.

to clarify what Karrot says.

The way the Randall DH hangers are designed doesn't allow bushings to be compressed as much. The beefy metal that makes up the hanger really limits the sideway expansion of the bushings when compressed/turning.

On the other hand the Force hangers, have more room for the bushings to expand during compression providing that deeper turn.

Switching from Randal DH trucks to Force C7 felt like I switched to Revenges, very very turny i had to switch to harder bushings just to have it stable to my likes.

one thing to consider..
i LOVE my C7s, and may be looking to pick up some R7s also..
but its usually necessary to do some cleaning up on the pivots, mine had some serious mold lines..
forces do turn very deep, and they're a great truck, though i havent ridden randal DHs.
