[longboardorific]

flip your washers or get flat washers so they dont cut into your bushings

EDIT: dr bob beet me too it

They is nice. 8)

They are not doing a 200mm version... If you ask them and are ready to pay a few extra dollars, they can do it for you.

Yeah I figured that was what you meant. I've purchased some custom stuff from LY in the past. If I had known they were even doing 200mm hangers I would have definitely called the shop and asked. I don't mind paying extra as long as I can get what I'm looking for.

[confusious]

i usually use flat washers, im not new to the idea, i just put those on there for right now, because i only have the smaller diameter ones, and they compress almost completely into the top of the stims, im going to put some on as soon as i get some that are bigger than the top diameter of the stim, but for right now, im running a very shallow cup that fits perfectly onto the top diameter and it doesnt turn far enough to damage it.....

and as for the radiused bigzigs.......amazing, chappy where ya at, you need to make this shape....

[Dr Bob]

LY really have a good customer service... its a pleasure dealing with them. I'm so happy with that new race in Vermont... the course looks simply crazy... we're gonna put that stuff to the test!

[isahackjob]

ive got teh same board, so yes!

[cindablock]

No doubt about that Dr. Bob! I called up LY about a month ago and asked 'bout the "Squam Wedge" and a Wedge like Circa's CF/FB...sorry bro', I really like yours...anyways....they were ready to take a custom order. If you ask nicely enough, you probably can get custom made boards and trucks. A 41" Drop Wedge with a FB top and CF bottom would be super cool.....

Whatd you use on the pivot cups of your grizzlies?

Tubing

Hey chris, have you had time to ride this new setup compared to how you had it in GA?

Let me know how the radiused biggies ride, and if they still bounce around.

No worries dude, that deck is my favorite ride by far. Setup with Smokeys it rides superb. Although I'm still tweaking my Rogers to see what I can do with it.

How hard is it to Modify the trucks like that? Did you do the other side of the hanger aswell? I would really like to do that to mine.

I might also try the pivot cup thing you did. Is that type of hose pretty easy to find?

btw...those wheels look awesome.

[confusious]

the tubing is found at most major hardware stores, lowes, home depot, wherever, its less than a dollar for a foot of the stuff. its 3/4 od 1/2 id fiber reinforced tubing and takes all of the slop out of the hanger-baseplate interface, i was a little disapointed when i got these, they were moving around all over the place, and i know that it doesnt matter THAT much, but this way is much tighter.

as for the modified hangers, yes i did mill both sides, i just put it in the vice on the mill and cut back the aluminum about an 1/8 inch on both sides, all the way down to where the bushing seat "ring" is. took me about 5 minutes, but made a world of difference, there is no more side bushing contact, and it is no longer pushing the hangers away from the pivot like they used to.

as for riding, i had to work today, not to mention i just got my video camera in the mail, so tomorrow will tell, probably try out the new steady cam, and the new board, all at once....tomorrow i skate, but so far, ive just pushed it around in the parking lot of my apartment, and it feels a little different than it did, ill let you know tomorrow.

I know that, but I was just wondering if you are you going to get a new one from rayne?

Nah. My big red X was rotting in the closet. Still new so i just cut her out so it fits crails. Ill wait till later since i would like to get precision trucks and a wefunk speedbone.

Damn bro, sounds like somebody likes high quality speedboards, I don't blame you.

Do you race or at least go above 40mph with those?
