Would anyone here with Theeve/Ace experience say that Theeve’s possess the closest turn to Ace but have less wheelbite due to the oval yoke?
Yes.
Theeve prototypes ran on ACE baseplates, that tells you where the geometry wanted to go from the start.
Theeve are a less turney, more stable and lighter (TI variants) than ACE
Theeve are more stable than Indy when loose and more responsive
Theeve feel stable like thunders and have a similar level of responsiveness (responsivness for an Indy/Ace like truck feel if that makes sense)
Theeve have the least wheelbite of any truck I've ridden and I ride loose.
They're great, people just hate on them because of the logo, name or whatever the fuck (not indy/thunder or a forum fav).
My only issue with them is that in order to get them loose enough for my taste I have to run bones softs and have them super wobbly loose (shaking the board hanger wiggling loose) even tho when riding it doesn't feel that loose; they settle in when you have your weight on them.
That said, my two favs right now are Forged Indy running ACE bushings and Mini logos (running ACE bushings).
