These are the "stable" end of the Carver CX system...the pivot well, but compared to the front CX truck, they are stable...
I weigh 230 and they were great with little adjustment and my friend who weighs no more than 160 loved them too...the bushings seem pretty good for stock...I will most likely put blue khiros in them sooner or later since that is what I do to most trucks...
If I ever wanted a replacement for Indy's I'd look here...but I am sold on the Carver CX system, my JP38 will most likey follow the way of my BE40...
Gravity and Carver makes me smile...alot...

Equipment Reviews

How long have you ridden them?: 2 weeks
What Setup are you running them on?: this is the Rear truck in my Gravity Brad Edwards 40 inch...with bones swiss labyrinth bearings and either Bones SPF 62mm in the park or Gravity 66mm 74a wheels for the street...and of course a Carver CX 6.5 truck in the front(where the magic happens
Typical Discepline?: My basement ramp, the streets of Fairfax Co, and Arlington Skatepark
How much did you pay for them?: 24
Where did you buy them?: Eastcoast Board Co
What are their weaknesses?: um, nothing...
What are their strengths?: Think of them like a tall Indy 169 stage 8, but with a taller baseplate...It has an older style kingpin, so you can still put a Grindking inverted kingpin in it(which I did 10 minutes after I got home.(I am neurotic like that!) They are made in the US so there is less Human rights and enviromental concerns for me...Avoid China Made as much as you can!
What similar equipment have you ridden?: Um, truck wise, I rode Indy stage 6 169's for like ten years, then quit, hocked them like a fool, then started again and have Randal 150's and 180's, Holeys, Exkates, Tracker 150's, Indy stage 8 169's, and some little grindkings I have for no reason I can think of...
Would you recommend them?: Yes
