Any suggestions for wedging a 90mm Splitfire front axles on a foam core deck with upturned nose (Pavel Rocker)?
Does it make sense to wedge to get the best peformance for tight slalom ? What are your experiences ?

I found a lot of pics of mounted splitfires ! it looks like they don't need that much wedging.
I will try several scenarios and see what works best for me !

even easier than that is to ask the local wedge guru,the guy who has the most experience with that special kind of boards:christoph baumann.

Now it fits after a little tuning! :-)

1.) wedging: just a few degrees ! :-)

2.) Top bushing without metal insert.

3.) Bottom washer without shoulder.

The truck works nearly perfect !

I ran my front Split on a 60 degree Randal luge baseplate & it worked great
