ASRA Admin Comment by Bugs on February 19, 2012 at 10:09: 125mm might be OK for LDP, but for slalom it's too wide. Narrower gives you more grip and is more responsive. I like about 100mm.

Premium Member Comment by Fitz on February 18, 2012 at 19:51: Why make trucks from cast steel? I would have thought lighter being the better option. Aluminium can be cast and then hardened to be just like 6 series billet used in most precisions.

Casting a blank and then machining the bush, pivot and axles is all thats required for a high end performance truck. The rest is all just looks and marketing.

Premium Member Comment by Fitz on February 18, 2012 at 19:48: No problem Ad's. You ended up getting the best option anyway. 5" wide trucks are much more versatile yet still turny enough to have some slalom fun. I have no use for calibres so it looks like 2 people are winners.

Comment by Cents on February 18, 2012 at 15:11: When asked Ronin about baseplates -> Ronin Trucks "We are going to be adding 20 and 45 in the near future mid March or sooner."

Premium Member Comment by Adam on February 18, 2012 at 14:05: Sorry fits but you didn't answer me as to what a price for a Bennett would be.

Premium Member Comment by Adam on February 18, 2012 at 13:59: Ben let's do it I assume we swap addresses and post off the trucks.
Let's keep it simple. No mounting hardware or bushings just the hangers baseplates an washers. I assume the trucks are in goo working order. Te calls are brand new just a little scratch on one side of each hanger.
As far as pics of the new disco biscuit. If you like skatement speedboards on Facebook you will see it there. I will post pics of it on Asra whn it's fully finished.

Comment by Cents on February 18, 2012 at 12:13: They'd be heavy being made from steel!

Comment by Bozac on February 18, 2012 at 12:09: saw this on the 'fish and thought it might be interesting, Ronin have plans to do a 124mm hanger for ldp and slalom:

Premium Member Comment by Ben Mod on February 18, 2012 at 12:03: I like the sound of that, you going to post some photo's?

The 5.0 bennett and 125 randal have the same width, so go with those and 42 baseblate. bit of wedge & dewedge and you have a decent start. The barrels should be ok for the rear, but the bennets need cones, i've been using soft khiros that are cheap and seem ok to me but maybe someone else here can give better advice on that.
