theres not many positive tings to say about these, so ill just jump into the negative...

the hole mounts are all over the place, so youd either have to drill your deck like that, or widen the holes to reach proper placement. the kingpin hole placement is a crapshoot on every set of randals ive owned (minus that 60 deg plate), and theres waaay too much material around the bushing seats in the hanger. completely restricting the bushings compresison.

theres better speed trucks out there with a little higher pricetag, but worth it for a quality product.

Typical Discepline?: dh

Would you recommend them?: Undecided

My DH's are tuned and kickin', Friday, 02 February 2007

Written by guest - View all my reviews - #1 Reviewer

I have a 47lb luge with DH's on it. I had to get those yellow pivot cups out, and Randall himself got me black ones to replace the softer yellows. Now that the kingpin is tight, these things are great. Was going around 35mph, and leaning heavy back/forth, and great feel to them! I hear poeple talk of weak axles, but dont know anyone who has broke one.

Stable...that is all, Friday, 02 February 2007

The puppies are super stable. I will take them down any hill! the only downside is that you have to kiss turning goodbye when you are cruising the sidewalk
