someone already bought these trucks, and if yes what you think about them? they seem perfect randall copies only better finished, but are they sollid? These trucks are a classic design and made in the far east...but that means new moulds, accurate baseplates, and a super shiny finish. We replace the bushings with Khiros, why... Because thats what we ride! 180 and 150mm widths

Yeah i saw some of the first sets and was stoked by the quality of the cast and in particular the kingpin and baseplate. Next time i buy downhill trucks im gonna buy these.

that sounds promising any chance someone could buy a pair for me and bring them to the mesnieres freeride, like that i save on shipping, yepyep unemployed for the moment with a hernia, so trying to save on everything, but the downhill beast still lives in me

Yah,Mike Stride does them and they look lurvely. Like you said Dready, exact Randal copies, but much better finished.
I'm gonna get some of these for my Stand-Up board, 180 for the front and 150 for the rear (keep clipping the rear wheels with my foot when pushing).
Anyone know if the axles are true 8mm?

i think you have a better chance of finding bearings that will fit them exactly then ind true 8mm axles, cause that seems to be quite a problem

Joel - Noooooo! This will give you craaaaap handling. Just move your pushing foot further away from the weel, simple.
Seems to work for 99.9999% of everybody else!

Just move your pushing foot further away from the weel, simple. Simple mistake when you start to skate. You tend to make short pushes starting off at the center of the board and pushing back to the rear of the deck. Start the push just behind your front foot and finish just after the mid point of the deck.
