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

about adrian:
he is the man for australia.
i forgot to mention that,all other inquieries from there will be refused.
adrian has been with us since day one and that shall remain so.

the front is in the works and it will be different in height and a few other features on the truck.
are we talking about march?
when the rears are out for sale adrian will be on the first come forst serve list too.

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

Adrian

Donald Campbell · Post by **Donald Campbell** » Mon Jan 15, 2007 6:28 pm

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

Adrian

Luke Melo · Post by **Luke Melo** » Wed Jan 17, 2007 1:37 am

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.

Nick Chamberlain · Post by **Nick Chamberlain** » Wed Jan 17, 2007 4:18 am

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

Luke Melo · Post by **Luke Melo** » Wed Jan 17, 2007 4:23 am

aahh that makes sense. that would be cool if it worked!

all this WAITING... the anticipation! I can't STAND IT!!! a MONTH?

Adrian Alderson · Post by **Adrian Alderson** » Wed Jan 17, 2007 11:12 pm

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

Adrian

the baseplates are protos too,by the way...
the industrial designer?
the same guy who invented the bmw carver trucks,is that sufficient enough?
price?
chaeper than rads.
you want one?
shoot me a pm

this says they will be cheaper than rads.... but that price says there more.
im lost, and in the middle of desiding which truck to get.

I spent a few hours on mine yesterday, and I must say its an awesome truck...

so youre saying they made it to N.A.??? i should be recieving mine shortly

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.
