Whats the 09 evo degree of wedging rear/front i tried google....

**pacrimboarder** · 09-09-2009 11:58 AM

couldnt find exact degrees? anyone got some? also what trucks would you recommend bear 852, or randal 42s

**loserplayer** · 09-09-2009 12:03 PM

42 would be the best out of the two but i would suggest you run 35 front/50 back bc i think the effective angle after all the wedging in the front starts to actually hinder your turning

**BoardDuDE630** · 09-09-2009 12:14 PM

its still the same wedging as the 08
+15/-15
so out of the two id pick the 42s
and like the guy before me said... 35/50 would be best, its what i have on my evo and its pretty much the standard for most evos i think

its like +/- 15-17* i've heard both numbers, the 42 randals would be best so you don't have too high of an angle in front but your best best is a 35* in front and a 50* in back

42 dewedged in front 50 back

42* has a ton more lean than the 35* and with the dewedge it creates a 35* anyways,

I thought it was + 18*

Although this board was designed with racing in mind the shape has become popular for free riding as it allows the rider super secure foot placement. 11plys. 22 degree wedge at the front and 22 degree de-wedge in the rear

get with the times, people.

ha i knew i was right

has anyone ever tried 35 front 42 back? would that make for a more stable ride?

how about 42/42?

I ask because im thinking of getting an Evo, and I have two 42* baseplates, and one 35* baseplate, but no extra 50* baseplate lying around.

im leaning towards the 35/42 if that would work. but if both (35/42 or 42/42) are bad ideas, then might as well order some 50* baseplates too (unless they don't sell these and I'd have no choice but to get the baseplates + hangars)

use the 42* in the front and use a wedge riser to de wedge it. making it effectively 35* it gives you a better interaction with the 180 hangers than the 35* baseplates. it feels better.

for the back you could leave the 42* and it would make it incredibly stable. if you wanted the setup more drifty wedge the 42* and make it 49* but i dont see a reason to buy another baseplate. ( unless you want to freeride on it, then those 8* of difference might make a difference)

that sounds intriguing and definitely worth trying! just to be absolutely sure about things though...so I use a standard angled riser in front, but install it with the thicker side facing out?

35 base plate front 50 in back..

the degree is 22 i think on the boarD? could be wrong.
