your dh setup

[skatardude10]

that voodoo looks insane! how high is it w/ 83s?

Considerably low... slight rocker on the deck, and no risers. It's just right!

[dropped]

interesting bushing combinations. what's the benefit in your opinion?

Right by Petaluma, Santa Rosa, below San Francisco.

Nice setup Shimo, everything matches! How're you liking the Forces?

[Shimotakimas]

special thanks to circa for the white c7s! force c7s are AWESOME trucks. If you havent tried them, go test them out but make sure it has decent bushings. The bushings it comes with are quite hard and dead to me.

Agreed, killer trucks, but the stock bushings didnt feel very lively... Those stims look pretty awesome on it...

How do you like the 83mm flys? I have heard they are nice wheels but dont slide or drift very well...

mines coming in monday or tuesday and i'll take picts. but it's coming with randall DH. have you ridden with those? anyways, how's the ride? i'm so anxious <333

Naw, they're the same as RII 180s.

No actually forces are 175mm not 180mm, but those just looked longer.

[Jraice]

From the looks of it, unless you have side set wheels to extend it a bit the randall DH trucks 160mm hanger might be a little short, but I would just swap it with R2 180mm hangers to increase the width and also I have heard they fit the bushings better. Would also either get flat washers, or flip the top one. If you really wanna upgrade do what I did with my crails, flat washers and 2.75-3" grade 8 kingpins. Looks sexy, especially with some new bushings.

For all intents and purposes they are identical in width to 180s. A difference of 1-2mm isn't really a discernable difference at all. I think Force has them listed as 7" = 178mm, hold them up side by side with 180s and you get the picture.

Anyways... Glad you're liking the hangers Shimo. Your setup is pretty close to what I was using back when I had a Comishin. I've known a few other people who've run fairly similar setups quite effectively on some pretty gnarly hills.

I know they are almost exactly identical, but milehigh has them listed as 175.
