Indys with Bones bushings, youre welcome.

I love my indys but I don't feel like breaking them in all over again, still worth it? How do I know what hardness to get?

Start with medium, and then go from there, or stay there.

I am generally an Indy loyalist, but I bought Aces because they are based on Indy Stage IIIs, and I went back to Indy just last week.  Never tried Theeve. 

The problem with Ace is the hangar is so thin that there is no stability on grinds.

i have the TIH (the axeless titanium theeves) they skate sooo good! but i got ace trucks for my cruiser board, and they are very similar. much better than any thunders or indys (even tho both trucks are based off an old indy truck)

Are they worth the price? I work up at a shop in cleveland and I'd be able to get them for $75 a set

Get em, but put a washer under the lower bushing. Otherwise, it will smush out and you will have to replace it anyway. I like the trucks, but it seems like they didn't really test them out for that long. My bushing smushed out in like 2 weeks and even the way that it sits in the hanger is weird. They saved weight, but it's a design flaw.
If you go for a tailslide, and clip your trucks for like a little 5-0 bash before you get into the slide, shit is guaranteed to spark. It can even leave  a little flaming spark on the ledge for a few seconds. Shit happens every time.
