    Default flipped r2 hanger

    i took 2 doh doh top bushings and put them together so they make an hourglass figure as the bottom bushing. but i threw the hanger on the regular way, and it seemed a bit tall, but if i flipped them, it was fine and dandy. so, to my question. if i flip the hanger, will it change my turning characteristics, because of the fact the axle doesnt line up with the pivot?

    that someone will be me. i gotit off www.chrischaput.com and thsi is what he says. "The Randal II aka the R-II has a reversible hanger with a positive castor in its normal position ("180" visible). This 50 degree setup is the quickest turning Randal other than the Luge truck's 60 degree setup.
    The R-II with the hanger reversed provides a negative castor which reduces turning but increases stability and lowers the CG ."
