something that has not changed all that much since 76 i think they know what they are doing

Equipment Reviews

How long have you ridden them?: i have had these trucks at least for a month
What Setup are you running them on?: I am riding the 4.3 on a 29" z-flex jay adams with .25" risers with 63mm tunnel rocks.
Typical Discepline?: old school style skating
How much did you pay for them?: $15.00 for each truck
Where did you buy them?: eastern stake supply
What are their weaknesses?: The stock brushings are definitely too hard of a duro for as loose as I keep the trucks. I believe that the stock brushing are around 90a. I think something softer like around 82a would work a lot better for turning, pumping, and etc. The other issues I have been having is the nuts are loosening on the kingpin and the stability of the trucks at a higher speed. When pumping hard to maintain your speed or at just a nice ride at you local skate park, the nuts on the kingpin will loosen itself off the king pin. This is something you have to think about while you are skating. If you don't check it every now and again the hanger will end up falling off the board as you are skating. The trucks will not handle speed too well mainly because of the width of the hangers. If you're looking to hold that speed I know they make a 6.0" you might what to end up choosing the 6.0 over the 4.3.
What are their strengths?: Turning and the ease of pumping are by far the best part of these trucks. If you have ever ridden the gullwing sidewinders, they have a lot of the same pros and cons. Some of good points about these trucks are
that with these, you can jump up and grind on the coping. The sidewinder's kingpin comes down too far for that, so the Bennett's are far more versatile. I also hear from our local sponsored kid at my surf shop that they way the hangers are edged it makes grinding a bit different and is something to get used to.

These trucks make commuting smooth and enjoyable. All of my friends love riding around on them, especialy because they make pumping easier than easy.

What Setup are you running them on?: I have a Flexdex Enzo (sick deck) with abec five sawblade bearings, stock bushings, and Abec 11 Grippin wheels
Typical Discepline?: carving, pumping, crusing
What are their weaknesses?: their only weakness, which is that they are not stable at any sort of speed, doesn't realy apply to me since they are on a 30" deck. So realy, i have no complaints what so ever.
What are their strengths?: Extremely quick and snappy turns, awesome looking, durable, and very smooth turns.
What similar equipment have you ridden?: none to date. I rode some sidewinder trucks on my friends mini board, but they don't even compare.
