Q&A: Slalom Pro Mike Maysey (2489 Posts) Topic Info Indy Offset....to wedge or not to wedge On 4/16/2003 mike maysey wrote in from (65.234.nnn.nnn) Hey Joe, I have used the Indy offset both ways. I also see many guys run the Indy offset flat and only a few wedged. If I were you, I'd try it both ways. Currently, I run a TTC on an RT-X baseplate on my FatBoy...due to the angle of the kingpin in the RTX, I wedge it forward...taking steering out. If I were to run the RT-S baseplate, which has geometry similar to an Indy baseplate (I think), I'd probably run it flat.     Rate post 118412 !

On 4/16/2003 Joe Leonhardt wrote in from (149.225.nnn.nnn) Mike, should I wedge a Indy offset on a Turner Hybrid GS ? 1:3, 2:3 wedge or just 2:2 (= two flat pads); 1 means a 1/8'' high Thanks, Joe     Rate post 118409 !

Bring a board that you would use for a G/s course, Hybrid X/l.     Rate post 118397 !

Is he gonna put some tight cones on that hill? What setup are you going to use (assuming it's not a big secret)? Is this a XL/fatboy kind of course?     Rate post 118307 !

That's exactly what I was doing. Problem was...tape switch! I have no shame, just revenge. You hear that Hut? Revenge!!! : )     Rate post 118276 !

Your finish w/Hut was amazing! If this was a timed race using light/laser beams, you would have won. You had your hands out front ready to break a beam that wasn't there. It was THAT CLOSE. Although I was 85% sure that Hut crossed the 'line' 1st, I am SO glad that Gary had the picture to back me up or I would have spent the rest of my life wondering if I screwed you. I was proud to see your post in the Slalom forum that you are not ashamed of being beat by a legend. Your attitude rocks as well! Peace     Rate post 118262 !

I was so happily talking amongst myself... There's gotta be someone who can loan you leathers. (maybe me if we aren't in the same heat together? Eli? Mark Johnson? HC?) You *can* skip friday practice and saturday qualifying and just enter and race sunday. You basically default-qualify *last* and ride with the fastest heat. That still means there at least a couple guaranteed slow guys in there, and who knows? Maybe we'll get lucky? I can only get up there sunday, so that's my plan. Robert said you can get 2-3 practice runs in the am, then race after the slalom event. He also said they might have heats ranging from 6-12 people?! I was alarmed by this, but Eli just pointed out how wide the road is... so it's all good! 8-)     Rate post 118026 !

I think Clayton was still suffering from jet-lag or something saturday. (I say this with all due respect and admiration, cause I KNOW how fast he can ride!) Equal 9th IS a good showing in the pros, but they didn't even get a taste of what Clayton can really do! Get on it Clayton!!! And one other thing...
