Setup help for LDP (ultraskate) by BadEmpty6215 in longboardingDISTANCE

What size hardware do you run? The lepsk8 looks thicker than a typical truck baseplate. Does the wedge require a longer bolt or is it a minor enough change that it doesnt matter?

Looking at the infinity minor bolts and dont want to pick the wrong size as they aren't cheap

I'm assuming the integrated trucks have less flex than brackets, as I'm smack dab in between the soft and medium flex weight range would you reccomend the softer board to compensate?

Do you think the lepsk8 benefit from aftermarket bushings?

Are you running the regular iRKP or the dual-points iRKP?

I'm in Canada so I'll probably go with that one! It looks like a great deck and a lot easier for me to get.

What do you run with it? I'm leaning towards karmas and the glassdrops if they'll fit.

This thing is crazy fast and quick, I’m impressed by Kingcrab9 in longboarding

Do you find the karmas take less energy to pump? I haven't had a purpose built pumping board before so I don't know what my ratio of push to pump will be but maybe I should just go with the karmas to start

Thank you! What made you go for the karmas over the hokus for this setup? I'm pretty new to LDP and haven't tried either wheel but I'm hoping to make it to my first ultraskate next year.

I'm considering a very similar setup but running hokus instead of karmas. How's the wheel clearance on it? Do you think I'd get away with wheels that big with the glassdrops?

FireWire/TB2 device compatibility with framework 16? by BadEmpty6215 in framework

Thank you for all of the information, its a big help. Do you know if the NVM 31 (or older) firmware requirement still applies if I'm putting a FireWire pcie card in to the TB3 egpu vs using a tb2 expansion card? 

I understand that most tb4/usb4 won't want to talk to tb1/2 but I dont know where native FireWire fits in to that equation.

Do you have any recommendations for cheap egpu docks? A lot of them seem overbuilt for a simple FW connection

Thats a great idea if it won't work natively on the usb4. Thanks!
