thanks dawg. i got these loaded on my cart. contemplating on whether it’s worth it to blow almost $150 on a set of trucks
As someone who's done it more than once, it almost never is. The only ones that I've ever paid over a hundred for that were almost sort of worth it were Ti-Hangers and thats mostly down to the physical advantages of being entirely titanium (weight, durability) even though they've got a radical and ultra effective design. In fact, they're basically what people are describing here (a more stable, deeper turning ace) except they're probably a bit more responsive and half the weight.
I would honestly say theres no situation where I'm paying more than $60-70 for a pair of trucks ever again. Its just not worth it, especially if there's no real objective reason beyond sating your madness. Splitting the axles and making cool commercials doesn't mean anything to me because theres no real substance to it. You're not making a better mousetrap, you're just making a more expensive one. If i want a heavy truck that turns more effectively than I could possibly ever need at my pre-fab local or snapping shitty flat ground in a parking lot then theres already a bunch of great options for literally a fifth of the price.
Add to that the fact that theres apparently already durability and fitment issues.. I mean its something that is super common to initial iterations of a design but I don't really want to pay multiple times more than competitors to be a glorified beta tester. Figure the shit out, polish it, THEN charge too much for it.
Basically, if your truck isn't literally hewn from a solid block of titanium then theres absolutely no reason to be paying this much. I don't care how Swedish it is.
