Don,

what about Oz, we have the fronts in stock, will you be selling us some rears as soon as they are available?

Any reason this truck couldn't be adjusted to be steep enough for a front?

Cheers mate

well, the truck has an offset so i dont know how good that would be for a front truck

Luke,

the hanger looks the same as the front truck which also has the axle inline with the kingpin.

Don,

thanks for the plug and confidence, much appreciated. What are the angle options on the back truck? Is it possible to adjust it to say 60 degrees and use it for a front?

Cheers mate

hey adrian
the rear can't be used as a front,since it is an offset truck.
i spoke with frank about this subject today and he will come up with a solution.
the rear can be adjusted in 3 degree steps up to 90 degrees if you really want that,ehehe!

the rears are offset, the front aren't:

Luke,

my apologies, I looked more closely at the trucks yesterday and realised my mistake. Next question though, what stops us swapping the hangers, anything?

Cheers

swapping the hangers wouldnt be a super idea because you don't really need so much traction in the front, but traction in the back is good. that is what GOG did. the only way i could see swapping the hangers is 2 offset hangers for super wide GS where both trucks are having lots of pressure put on them. other than that they should be fine the way they are. but traction is a good thing in the rear.

I think he means running a rear plate with a front hanger up front so he has the ability to adjust it like the rear

Just heard from Frank (designer of GOG) who advises that you could swap the hanger, but because the axle isn't in line with the kingpin when you rotate the pivot angle the height of the axle above the baseplate will change too. This would then alter the angle of the rear truck as the deck would be changing angle. Soooooooooo much engineering and calculations involved in these designs, so many issues a mere mortal like me had never considered.

I can't wait to try the adjustable rears and I'll definitely be waiting expectantly for the adjustable fronts too.

Cheers

I have two sets in my hands. One mine, one someone elses. Maybe she gets them. Maybe she doesn't :-P.

Apart from working quit well (Dom beat plenty of fast guys at the GOG Outlaw by a good margin), they are both sexy and mean. Just like I like my womens.

Frank does a hell of a job lining up the right truck with the right hangar, does detailed QC process and makes sure everything is right. He took a long time explaining the details to me and it was appreciated.

It always cool when we get a new option in slalom. It's even cooler when it actually works.
