Anyone used a set of these before? Are they any good? Thinking about getting a pair of the Theeve TiAX, but want other people's opinions first.

As much as I hate to say it, they are some of the best trucks I've ever ridden.  I'm a die hard Thunder rider, but Theeves break in time is nonexistant and they turn and grind great.  I can't recommend them enough.
it's not fantasizing if it really happened.  your gay as fuck for even thinkin about them havin sex u fagit

i got a pair of csx.. did not like really. i thought they turned like crap. the area for the top bushing has high walls so the washer would hit the inside of the truck before the truck could even get close to wheel bite. maybe good if you like tight trucks or ventures.
was skating indy's. now skating ACEs. my ACE 33s were lighter then the standard csx..
they might be good if you ride your trucks tight.. like mega ramp. or a kid.

The TiAX are some of the best trucks ever.   Anyone saying otherwise has never ridden them.

I have the ones with no axle or whatever, and they feel so amazing. I loved my Indys, but damn these are good.

I dont get why Theeve changed the shape of their hangers, the original ones looked good, but the new one just look weird.

i have the skinny hanger tiaxs and i really like them. the bones took longer than normal to break in but are awesome now. i dont like the fucked up hanger ones. id probably try thunders next unless the skinny hangers are back. i had been on the same pair of indys for 2 years, had previous indys to that. then had ventures for 4 months before the theeves.

Personally I would never buy them, I'm happy with Indy's.  I have heard they're good though, some people like them more than Independent and Thunder. So if you want them they won't be a bad buy.

That's not very good news considering one of their "break though" technologies is titanium alloy to make the truck stronger and lighter.

That is the worst design I've ever seen.   Instead of hitting axel and grinding for another 3-6 months, you just grind through the entire truck...that is if it doesn't break by then.

Yeah, but I live in the UK, so everything is way too expensive. Anyway, I decided to buy myself a pair of indy stage 10 lows. £10 cheaper then theeves, ahaha

I love mine, granted I got them for cheap as shit, but they feel amazing. Except on boxes and thing it sounds like aluminum grinding on something, I don't like that part........................................

Those axelless trucks look gross as hell. Imagine a worn pair that just snapping on a big gap or in mid grind.
