Dunno about the set screws, but I have seen Geezer-ized front trucks with set screws also.

New Randal 28º baseplate.

So has anyone tried a splitfire on the new Randal 28º baseplate?

What do you think? A better option than the old 35º DH baseplate to deaden the back truck a little more?

He says that the slide clinic will be held in Downtown SLC at 1:00. Somewhere near 300N and 300W.

So will the cone-dodging take place place after the sliding?

Better to dodge the cones at the U, since the sliding will be downtown?
