Bennett's front and rear?

**Browny** · 09-24-2007 09:25 PM

Anybody recommend using Bennett's on the front and rear? Would it work if i dewedged the back a ton (I'm thinking 15-20 degrees)?

Yeah, it would work just fine. It would ride kind of high, but it would definitely feel good if you stuck some hard bushings in the back.

My cruiser board has bennets with a 3/16" flat riser up front and a Khiro dewedge shock pad out back. It's fun.

I've been running Bennetts up front and that works great. Now I kind of wished I had bought another so I could try Bennetts front and back. I have them front and back on another board but that is not set up for slalom and those are 5.0.
If I had the money to spend on those modded Bennetts I so would buy those.

This isn't a "true" slalom setup, but it's as fun as can be, and pumps like a bunny..
Bennetts front and rear is great.. I have the back dewedged 20 degrees and I'm running khiro purples/yellow/black in the rear... Anythng to take to turnyness out of the back.

Bennett-Rts best low price combo I've found.

i've found bennetts front and back to make a perfect carving / hill surfing board. when i jumped on the reissues the very first time, within the first few carves I knew they was the SHIZZLE. but the bennett pair works fine on a mellow pumper as well, like others have said, stiffer rear bushings and more dewedging. a conventional rear truck like tracker/indy is really an optimization for pumping and how I usually tend to set up-

sniffle, what size mod you looking for? might have one up for sale locally here...

bennet rears un dewedged are way steerey, even when i run double purple khiros. the fronts are pretty cool though, especially the geezer mods

I find that double bennetts is way to squirrely for me. A stable sesimic in the back is my favorite. An RTS rear 2nd in line.

Hadn't really thought about it but something in the 90-99mm range. Maybe an offset to try on the rear if I had the money. The 4.3 is just a tad too wide. Just need to take a litle off and it'd be good.
Man if I had the cash to team up a Bennett front with and Indy offset rear I'd be in Heaven.
I've got to start making more money so I can get me some more elaberate trucks.
