    Default rayne timeline?

    Does anyone have experience with the timeline and paris 150's?
    I have a set with some 90a standard venoms and I'm looking at this board for some
    commuting and pumping, but also very comfortable cruising and carving.

    I could use some other suggestions for a board though

    I put a set of paris 150s with thin 1/8 risers on a timeline today, only because I don't have any other trucks at the moment. It's very tall, too tall. Noticeably taller than the superglider I took the paris trucks off.
    Also, the paris trucks have new school bolt pattern and the timeline is drilled old school.
    How the trucks feel on the timeline is personal preference but I don't care for it.

    okay, well I really need to find a board to replace my loaded pintail because the
    flex has just gone to #### and has no rebound.

    I really don't want to put in money for new board and trucks because I really like the paris
    150's, I just can't find a smallish board with a snappy flex.

    I weigh 145 lbs and the timeline is pretty stiff for me, the way I like it. The loaded pintail I tried had a fair bit more flex.
    I see that Rayne sells randal 150s with their timeline completes. I would guess that the randals and paris trucks are about the same height. So when I say that the paris trucks are too high on a timeline, that's just my opinion.

    I've got a Timeline for sale, looking for around $65 shipped depending on where you are located. It's a sick deck, but too small for me. Also Auburnsky did a sick grip job on it, I'll hook you up with some pics if you're interested. Shoot me a PM if you want it and we can work something out.

    It depends on how much you weigh.

    The timeline is a pretty stiff board for people under 180 lbs, and since paris' shorten the wheelbase and make it stiffer I really wouldn't recommend the timeline if you are looking for a flexy commuter.
