predog trucks

[barontieri]

very cool trucks, are they compatible with Rocker bases? it would be a nice feature so you don't have to remove everything you already own. And I think you could add Chiller website to your listing too.

@predog

I do snowboard but I had my LIB snowskate for like 3 seasons now and found out that I never rode my snowboard since or it could of been earlier. Bidecking is so much more fun.

[predog]

I can't believe I didn't list Chiller on my list of sites. I will update that along with 0910 in my next web push...

BTW... It would also be nice to get some links back to predog.com boyees! Share the love.

Currently, predog is not compatible with Rocker, meaning you can't just swap out the rocker top truck with a predog top truck and expect it to work with a Rocker base. That would be a nice feature.. will have to investigate that in version 2.0.

Here are some views of the predog trucks and their different set ups to accomodate the variety of ski hole patterns. There are 5 different hole patterns out there, at least that I am aware of. I am sure there are others out there, because 5 just isn't enough.... predog trucks will fit them all, the base plate is the only difference for each set up, with the exception of Minus 7 where I also had to use a longer pin to accomodate this hole pattern.

Below dimensions are all on center:
- 3 1/2" - Lib, FPS, Chiller
- 2 3/4" - Minus 7
- 1 5/8" - Boyd Hill
- 1 1/2" - Ralston
- 1 9/16" - snowboard 4x4

0910 is somewhere in there too, just can't remember the exact size. I think they are also 1 5/8"?

Note that for the sake of picture taking.. Boyd Hill, Ralston and the 4x4 hole patterns are represented with one picture, since the variance is only 3/16 of an inch.

Awesome trucks. Definately want to get a set but will have to wait for next season. What about Pioneer, what hole pattern size r they?

[predog]

pretty sure they are running same as Lib 3 1/2. Craig?

[AlexanderTH3GR8]

What is Craig?

[predog]

The owner of Pioneer!

[AlexanderTH3GR8]

hahaha, got it.

i need two set of trucks really soon. i was looking at yours and had a few questions. have you had any problems with the pivot bar? im a bigger dude and i seem to have bent the one on my rockers. also would i have to get a seperate sets for my lib and if i wanted to mount a snowboard? talk me into it predog

[predog]

pivot bar is 5/16". I think Rocker uses close to 1/4" (think it is metric)

You can use one set of trucks to bounce back and forth with, you would just need 2 sets of base plates. 1 for lib, 1 for snowboard. Measure your snowboard and identify if it is the 4x4 (40mm or ~9/16) pattern or the scatter pattern ~ 1 3/4.

What you will find is, your truck distance on your snowboard will be very different on your Lib, so you will be loosening everything anyway to switch one set of trucks back and forth, which honestly gets old pretty quick. So get two sets.

Are predog baseplates universal?

I have 2 different lengths of Gnu and I'm thinking of buying a Boyd.
Would I need different baseplate?

[AlexanderTH3GR8]

Yes.

[spiers66]

Yes 2 baseplates.

hello, I have a 2010-11 ralston 41" complete skate and 4 lib subs (41", 43" and 48"), all with the same hole pattern.



my understanding is that predog trucks will allow me to use the ralston top deck with all my libtech subs, which is really great since I love the ralston topdeck but I want a longer sub.

the problem is that I'm not sure which sky hole pattern should I pick from predog website

there are several options,
3 1/2 inches
2 3/4 inches
1 9/16 inches
1 11/16 inches

which one is the one I need?
