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.

When asked Ronin about baseplates -> Ronin Trucks "We are going to be adding 20 and 45 in the near future mid March or sooner."

Sorry fits but you didn't answer me as to what a price for a Bennett would be.

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.

They'd be heavy being made from steel!

saw this on the 'fish and thought it might be interesting, Ronin have plans to do a 124mm hanger for ldp and slalom:

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.

Ben can you pm me the options.
The deck I have made is just under 10 inches wide 30 long. I overdosed on wheel base options. Two options at the back and four at the front. Each set 1/2 an inch apart smallest wheel base 19 and longest is 21.5.
It just needs sand to shape and wheel wells. So it's kinda a mini long board crossed with a wide slalom board.
So the reason I say all that is to let you know what kinda rig it is. So I think the wider the hanger option the better. I was offered a set of trackers but they were 106 and I think they would be to narrow. But any slalom tech heads can tell me I'm wrong if they like.
Last dribbling question I have a few sets of reflex barrels but only a few venom ones, obviously the Randals will work with reflex but will the front ones?
Remember I'm totally non slalom educated.

Adam,if you're still after trucks I could do a bennett/randal combo to trade with your caliber's. there's a couple of options as I have a few spare bits eg 4.3 bennet with a spherical mod or 5.0 (I'd pref to keep this one), 125 or 150 randal with 42 baseplate. pm if you're keen
