Default Bear Hangers w/ Randal Baseplates?
Has anyone tried to put Bear Grizzly hangers on Randal 42* baseplates? I am interested in doing this on the rear of my Subsonic Swift and using the Bear 52* baseplate in the front.

Yeah, different placement of components. It's like trying to put a tracker hanger on a charger, it doesn't fit.

the length between the pivot cup and bushing seat are different between the trucks. its sort of fits, but i dont recommend it.

I think they can be made to work if you machine your own pivot-cup.

Gtfo, are you serious? k I have to go try this right now...
I have been praying for tracker to release a 40º plate, and I have 40º grizzly plates

Edit: So Im back, its not the best fit but it defiantly does work. If the pivot cup was 1mm tighter it would be perfect, right now there is just too much play.

+1

Yeah, Im not interested in my bears. In fact I have been completely put off them lately.
What I am going to do now is try to find a different pivot cup that will seat my fastrack hangers properly in the bear plates. If i can do that you don't know how happy I will be, first I will try the cups in my tracker plates. If that doesn't work I might try machining my own.
Thanks
