i would not recommend these to anyone. i went to the local skate shop for new wheels and bearings- nearly bought a pair of new trucks- but i'm going to have to wait a little longer. they actually do ok but i haven't been over 25mph with them. the stock bushings are like tiny cups of jello. overall fit and finish is a 6 out of 10...

Chip: Try different bushings and top bushing cups. The ones that come stock rot, but when I put some 92a doh-dohs on them they carve great. I've had them on a 38" Biker Sherlock for about a week ,I hit about 20 mph on a local hill without a problem, and they rule for grinds @ the skatepark . Definately not Randals, but theyre almost exactly like Indy 215's. I'll check back after I hit some hills in the Sierra. I actually have the 950's , not 900's. Sam: If your looking for trucks without wobble don't get these! After about 15 mph it's like an earthquake and you can't control your board at all. Trust me, spend a little more and get Randall II's Tom: These trucks came on my first board, a complete. They worked fine while starting out for carving and downhill, but at higher speeds, you have to force them into turns to keep from wobbling. Spend more $, get better trucks than these.

Talk about wobbles. They are very fun to ride at low speeds though. With bones hardcore soft bushings, these things carve. I wound not say that they are the best, but if you have them laying around and have an extra board with no trucks... mount them up! They are fun for experimental boards too.
