What type of Indys do you ride? (Spin-off question from the truck poll/thread)

[Monkey_Mcpott]

Regular 149 Indy's with after market red 88a Indy bushings.

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

stage 7's (in my dreams)

[nosneb]

Standard because the base plates are the strongest and the axels don’t deform or strip from landing primo.
Stage 11 and stage 10 159 standard with red Indy conical 88a bushings

[Paco Supreme]

144 titaniums that i add all sorts of aftermarket shit to

[SJ]

Stage 11 standard 149, with 88a indy conical aftermarket bushings

[Level 10 Dwarf Paladin]

Standard because the base plates are the strongest and the axels don’t deform or strip from landing primo.
Stage 11 and stage 10 159 standard with red Indy conical 88a bushings

Standard cast bps are weaker than forged.

[theloniousmonk]

Forged titanium 159 with bones hard bushings no bottom washer, bones top washer. It’s below freezing here and the bones turn great. The standard Indy bushings would freeze up and absolutely not turn.

144 Forged hollows
90a Barrel indy aftermarkets
Riptide Pivot cups

Tell them about your Supreme nylock bolts and your BAPE bushings. I’d love to see some sick photos when you install those 4 inch plan B risers too!

If you're not putting slivers of luxury soap in your pivot cup then what are you even doing?

ill snap some photos of my 4 inchers if you ask again nicely

[the snake]

standard 149mm with hollow kingpins I put in (last time I do that, real pain in the ass work) and black aftermarket cilinders 94a, still operational a year after

[Sk.A.T.A.N]

144 forged hollows. Before I was doing the same, but 139's. Cant do standard cast, sorry I'm a pussy with weak legs.

[Ghost Face]

There's no Lows on the B2B or the Spring '18 catalouge. I think they've stopped doing them.

[Sedition]

I think they've stopped doing them.

Thank god.

[DISTANT RUMOURS]

Regular 139's, with after market orange bushings.
I ride my trucks on the tighter side, so my bushings blow out pretty fast...

maybe you should try the blue ones, less tight needed

[redux]

149. Hollow axle. Forged base plate. Factory orange bushings. Nuts flush with the kingpins and axles.

Mostly 8.18 decks.

Did you ride the forged plates for a while before switching to the cast? And if you did, how do you like the added height? I’ve been sort of contemplating doing this on one of my setups.

[Francis Xavier]

Standard stage 11 149 that I just broke in,have stage 7 and 
 9 sets also that are 139. Whatever bushings are in there work fine,even blown out. I only do a quarter turn on new trucks and then turn it back after they're broken in.

[Randozzi]

my first experience with the forged plates was with some Koston stage 10.5 when they first came out.  I skated em for awhile and continued to skate the forged plates until about a year or two ago when I replaced em with some Reynolds hollows with the reg baseplates.  Skated those for awhile and then got some Ti with forged.  Skated those for a bit and something just felt a little 'off' with my board.  So, I put on the reg baseplates and everything felt right in the world again. 

to me, the forged do make your set up feel lighter, but they also make it feel sorta dead... I dunno how to described it other than that. 

i still go back and forth every once and awhile, mainly because i'd like my board to be lower and all that... but then I also like to skate loose-ish trucks and wheels from 52-55, so may as well have that extra height.

i've never felt the "tippy"ness of the Stage 11s that people complain about on here. 

[nosneb]

I get when people describe the tippy was due to the height. I ride really loose so I love the 55mm talltrucks with 55mm wheels.

[sharkin]

5 setups with indys from my 7.8" scumco cruiser up to my 9.18" cardiel football board

stage 9 rowley pewter 129 w/ stock bushings from stage 11 standards
stage 11 standard 149 w/ 92a conical bushings and khiro pivot cups
stage 11 149 AVE matte clear w/ 92a barrel bushings
stage 11 standard 159 w/ 92a barrel bushings and khiro pivot cups
stage 11 standard 169 w/ 92a barrel bushings

i've fallen in love with the 92a bushings as you can see. perfect feel with the nut flush with the kingpin

Just add a small riser. I honestly do not understand why anyone would buy the standard version. Get forged. Lighter. Stronger baseplate. Plus, you have the option of a 53mm truck, or just adding a small riser to get 55mm of the standard if you wanted to go taller.
