i think i see holes, in theight places,one for sure and maybe the shadow of the next one,i see the one on the pivot side that you probabely wouldn't use. Tolerence,I would think that a pair of cnc parts would be on the ,money, for a snug fit with a smooth finnish and even if you changed the angle constantly it would take a long time for dreaded slop to appear and bolt tension would close up a thou or two of looseness.If they got loose (a long time from now)you could always assemble them with permatex or something like that.

the angles provided are absolutely enough without going into detail,please trust us on that.the trucks are already in the r&d process here in germany and are olding up fine.
the baseplates have a hollow intersection in them and by fixing the angle with the bolt you are able to compress the area encasing the sled,so there are no "open" tolerances created.everything holds up fine,even after a long period of racing and abusing.
you all ahev to wait for next season to ride these babies.if any flaws show up till then they will definitely be corrected.
thanks for your input

gog prototypes

ive been thinking about the design of the new gog prototypes, and absolutely LOVE the new indy/bennett style front....
however i had a few thoughts/concerns/suggestions/questions...
the prototype on the right, it looks like the holes for adjusting the baseplate angle are drilled on the wrong side of the top part of the baseplate, like they should be on the other side...if you swing the angle, it appears that the hanger will go completely vertical, and then into the negative angle range...crazy, i hope they realize this before they start production, it would be much better with them drilled on the other side to be able to adjust from a 0*(horizontal) flat angle, up to 80* or 90*(vertical) and everywhere in between
heres a little illustration to show what im talking about...the red are the current circles with the green being what should be there, a few overlap in hte middle, but i think a few more should be added, and a few less on the front taken away...
also, the aluminum baseplates are 2 pieces, im curious as to what kind of tollerances they are holding, and if after repeated use, they become "sloppy" at all, with the groove in the bottom and the "tongue" on the top part. they may use a higher quality/stronger alloy like 7075, and could possibly heat treat it, but i think an even simpler solution might be to just make the two piece baseplates out of a mild steel, and give it a light case hardening. it would not wear as much, and would provide an absolutly SOLID engagement of the two pieces...
these are just my thoughts on the subject, i am by no means an expert on the subject, but with the little experience and knowledge that i do have, i thought i would voice my concerns
cant wait till that new ts front comes out, i might have to pick one up, once i start getting into slalom more

well i 'm caring less and less, i thought there were posting guidelines involving picture file size and mentioning or posting pictures of commercial products on pages other than the vendors corner, but yeah i guess you are right no one seems to care, i'm done too.

We dont do any Belgians...we are an EnglisH Ale Brewery...6 main brands..3 super premium ($9.99 sixpacks) and 1 winter brand...
We are in process of building an Oak Barrel Cellar to do some super high end Oak Aged Strong Ales, and beefing up our traditional English Cask program. I am currently working on sourcing our bottling system for the wood aged brews...750 ml, hand corked and caged....Should be some awesome products
Occasionaly I hop on the Pilot brewery system (150 gallons) and do traditional German ales and lagers, but most of what we do follows the English Ale guidelines
if you want to try an awesome Belgian Style, try New Belgiums La Folie... I think it may be a brewery only exclusive, but its awesome...750 ml bottles are something like $22 though...

Just keep Paul away from that bubbly cold piss he was drinking in Dixie!!!
youve got to come to Colorado to try ours sometime Sam. I went to the UK in 2003 on a real ale mission of sorts...some of the best Real Ale in my life. Had some Cast Skull Splitter at a fest in Ulverston that was mindblowing...
visited several breweries as well.
Maybe someday I will brew in the UK.
Our IPA won the Gold medal at the biggest competition here in the US (Our Special Red als took a bronze and our American Wheat got a silver!)
wish I could afford Caldwell
