Sorry for the harsh title. It just rhymed and I am really disappointed with these. I don't have 4 sets of these trucks set up like listed above, I just have one set and have tried them with all combinations of those decks and wheels and none of the setups seem to allow these trucks to work well. Compared to my randal 180's and a friend's paris 180s these trucks do not turn worth a crap and are not stable at speed to boot! I have tried everything to try to help these trucks turn sharper; wedged and dewedged them, even swapped out the bushings for various Venom combos (its possible to use other bushings just add a flat washer under the bottom bushing). Nothing I could do would make these trucks as responsive and carvy as my Randals. The Holeys don't pump as well either. I am so surprised that I am the only one who rates these badly. If you are thinking about buying these do yourself a favor, save 20 bucks, have way more fun, and go with Paris or Randal.

If someone reads all the other raving reviews and decides they still want some let me know, mine are for sale!

yes but before downhilling dont loosen to much but these are good all around trucks, in my opinion bears are for dh (no shit) and sisemics and origials + sidewinder are carving trucks but if you you just bought sidewinders dh with them, but tighten first, they rise your board, but over all of this (HOLEYS) are the best trucks eveeeerrrrr, they are all around
