Bennet + Airflow..........Risers/Wedges???

**eric_4380** · 07-22-2007 08:34 AM

I just set up a new complete. 99mm Bennett Front (8mm axles) with a 95mm Airflow in the back. I spaced out the Airflow so it's just a hair wider than the Bennett. Any advice on wedges/risers??? Right now I'm running 1/4" Khiro shockpad under a hard Khiro wedge riser in back. Up front, a 80a Khrio wedge under a hard Khiro wedge. Double white Bennett barrels up front and blue bottom/orange top superball barrels on the Airflow. I've got enough Khiro bushings that I can mess with the Airflow a bit. Any help getting it dialed would be rad. Let me know.

Your wedges are PERFECT!

that's exactly how i would set it up. front bushings are good too. also, make sure to put cup washers top and bottom on the front, then run it LOOSE. dont crank down on the bushings if you have cup washers. if the hanger "sticks"-does not return to center, take a piece of sandpaper or a file to the pivot, and take off the little ridges so it's perfectly round.

only thing that needs work is the back. this gets tricky. try blue barrel on bottom, and yellow on top. sounds weird, but it works...if memory serves me. if you cant get it to feel right, invest in some nice bushings. in my airflow i run green radikals.

Dude I wish I had those trucks. Nice setup, although I have no idea how to speak slalom.

A few people have told me to run less wedging under the Bennetts when I asked the same question, I was running 2 Khiro wedges under the front as well. Some have said you can overwedge Bennetts. I was skeptical, but tried it. I since switched to a single wedge (10 deg) and a 1/2 flat under it and what a difference! 10 deg seems to be the sweet spot for Bennetts. Not that 20 deg was bad... 10 is just better. Try it Mikey... You'll like it!

Try blue tracker stims in back. Either bottom only or double stims.

Front: you might go blue khiro barrel botttom and white top at your weight.

Be careful not to over load that Bennet with wedging. I did that to mine and totally made it all funky. 10 degrees on a Bennet is the sweet spot for me.
