TSI Threshold Deck

[the_SD_local]

people need to start talking about the wheelbase length of a deck rather than the footplate length. footplate length has very little to do with how a deck feels to ride, i guess if you have massive feet you need the size, but wheelbase length is what changes the way it rides.

Props to you for understanding that and props to TSI on the new deck.

first tsi ive ever wanted

whats the difference between a 81.5 and 83 headtube angle?

 

[Victor C.]

The angle changes? Haha, 83 feels more forward/steeper.

Yes, but if the neck on the TSI is longer and the wheelbase is the same as say, a v2i, the distance from your bars to the brake(Where you feet will be) is the same. The wheelbase on the 20" Threshold is exactly the same as a v2i, but it feels even longer because of the steeper angle.

The HTA is the same on v2i's and the new TSI, it's the downtube angle that's steeper on the TSI.

Personally I like the HTA on my Flowmaster better than on my v2i, I think 83 degrees is the shiiit.

I think the basic rule of thumb for ht angle is lower, easier whip, steeper easier bars to an extent as well as the feel of course

...wut

He's saying that a lower angle makes for easier whips, and a higher angle makes for easier barspins.

Threshold + 81.5 or whatever angle would be nice.
Though I'd modify it for a rear peg.

Threshold + 82.5 or whatever angle would be nice.

this. although even if it's 83 id still consider buying one.

 

[Hep Greg]

if you get the deck and still feel the need for a rear peg, just modify it. you wont need a peg on the back tho, im telling you.

the box for my district said it was heat treated?

I think Tom was stating that even though they are advertised as Heat treated they are not

District spec theirs as:
Aluminum 6061 T5 Certified
Tig Welded
T4 and T6 Heat treated

How will I be able to get one of these in Australia? And is black the only colour or will there be a raw/silver option?

 

[alfie wisker]

They better be in Australia soon.

 

[Frank T]

i read some where that pre orders open today???

 

[tylerbillman]

y u no make full grindplate?

to be able to access the brake still

 

[Robert]

they only put 20 long in black on the pre orders

 

[Darcy.A]

On the site it says 20" long and 82.5 degree headtube angle, what happened to my 20.6" and 83 degree deck?
