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

I used to run a 4.3 bennet (7* wedge) and a 35* 125 (wedged to 20*) randal setup. Don't think you could do much better for the price.

No bullshit mate I just like ado.

Only reason I say boardshop is bcause I know they do hangers only.

Even though he doesn't have a bricks and mortar shop Tony isn't such a bad guy. I met him a few years ago. I prefer to stay out of the political bullshit other have.

You could just buy a 35* plate and run it with your paris 50/35. Not much of a slalom setup but you'd do a lot better pumping than wedging a 50* plate. Throw some 98 venoms in the back and some softs in the front and you'll get it pumping - pretty much how I started off but with randals. Though wheel bite would be an issue. Wouldn't recommend wedging the front past 60*.

Got no idea what a Bennett truck is worth. All I know is the early slalom child has them on it is the video.
And no I wont do board shop. I wil buy from ado.
