sean, i hope that you mean 35 FRONT and 50 BACK not the other way around. If you actually meant 50 front and 35 back then that would be 65/20....

65* isn't fun

jesse your going to have a gnar fast and drifty setup, dude it sounds like the sorta board i could imagine you on, what angles you going for? personally i use a 50 front and 35 back with a soft wedge riser added so its about 3 degrees all up

Use the chatroom boys if you wanna chat about gear, much faster and easier and you wont clog the latest activity.

So my next setup is going to be Evo with randal comp 205mm trucks and 83mm 81a flywheels. With red double barrel khiro bushings.

randal comp trucks are floating axle, they are a dif ball game to what you been dealing with, they take alot of work from what i hear (bearing cleaning doubles as your using twice the bearings)
I have never had an issue with force trucks, i use them for DH, freeriding and bowl skating and they have never given me any trouble but thats just my experience with them, i aint doing drops, little pre grab's on the bowl board is the most stress i put them under

i bent my force trucks MAJORLY mind i jaut doing pregrabs and boneless tricks, wouldent recomend them, but if you do you can pick up a set for $60 new at force industrys in frankston....

And by the way how good are early skateboards???

Force is a pretty nice truck, they have a very smooth turn. I ''might'' go with the comps. Iv never tryed randals before and im looking forward to using em but im sure their just like paris. :L

jesse as its been said on this site many times, you want CNC or randal comp's go for it, i heard the randal comp-II trucks are very good, i would reccomend them as your best bet doe a high end truck as they work with all randal base plates as well as force plates so i would say if you want any top end truck go for them, easier to get your angles right on them with the price of their plates, i got force trucks on my evo and love them so anything works, but defs they would work well mate

jesse, stick with a cast truck like 180 randals, precisions offer little to no benefit.
