kryptos and fu-manchus are side set. and blue kryptos are 81a, green i think are 78, clear 80a dunno about the others.

oh yeah, you might want to consider cutting down the list a little, i mean if you were a complete noob all that info might be a bit overwhelming.

Randall r2's dont change poviot angle when flipped the axle simply resides behind the axis of poviot causing a need for more leverage in order to turn the truck, hense more stable

Couple of boards on that list that are not less than $150 and would not be good recommendations for guys just starting out. Namely anything with carbon or foam in it. If you're a beginner...stick with an all wood deck.

I am aware that flipping the hanger does not alter the actual angle, but I was under the impression that it did change the effective steering angle of the truck.

I will let people discuss it further and edit it depending on the general consensus is.

Thank you, the actual pivot angel doesnt mean a hoot, its the steering angle. So you are changing the angle by flipping it because everyone cares about the steering angle, not the pivot angle.

I believe the boards in question were the Chicago boards. I have removed the Foamie Topmount and Cutthroat. I know that with out CF the other Chicago boards can be made for <$150 US. I will re-add the Cutthoat if someone finds out it can be made for <$150 US.

What? They're exactly the same thing.
Flipped and un-flipped randals have the same turn radius at the same board lean angle.
What changes is how much force is required to get the board there.
(well, a board with flipped hangers has about a cm less wb so practically the same anyway)

Great list, this is gonna help me a lot when I'm choosing my first deck. You could always add good bushings or combinations for different weights.

Thanks thats why I made it

As for bushings.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA..... There are hundreds and hundreds of different bushings and each board needs 4 so the combos are endless. Making a list would be just about impossible... search the forum, feel free to pm me, or if you really think its necessary make post.

i already think that there is a bushing list out here somewhere..
oh and how about how different angled riser options that can effect the stability/turning of the board?
