I just wouldn't feel "cool" with them on my board...

if marketing/brand relevance was a non-factor (let’s be honest, it always is) I could probably be a Theeve lifer

just can’t live with the model identifier on that hanger, the company name and logo on the baseplate

But yah...the team and marketing suck....
So sad to hear you're all bound by the perceptions of others...
Funny, I could not care less about who rides for what 'team' as pop, shape, durability, turn/height/weight, size, shape, duro, grip, slide are all that really matters. As for looks, Indy's yoke is the fugliest and most bloated on the market
Sizing up so while trying to figure out what trucks to ride I decided to just pick up some 8.5" Tiax to throw on my tiking plates and be done with it.
I really liked theeve for the turn response and especially the grind but idk, they don’t grind as smooth as they use to when they had the v2 with the bushing lip problem
They claim nothing changed but having ridden V1/V2/V3, the V1/v2 turned and grinded better. The metal was also a bit darker, tho that could have been due to casting; I loved the V2 and rode loose enough to not have bushing blow out.
The last pair of TiHs I rode (bones softs) felt quicker than the V3 (bones softs) in turning as well.
