Re: Sidewinder/Mission...mix and match
People should just give up on sidewinders. My axles are pretty bent after less than a year of skating, the kingpin is really short, and I can't get it out to replace it with a longer one (means you can only use short bushings), the two pivots are virtually useless because after some examination that middle pivot piece hardly moves before it hits the baseplate so the top hanger pivot really does all the turning, making them a much taller then necessary conventional style truck.
Also, the customer service is really bad. I sent them an email about how I should replace the kingpins and the message I received back was full of grammatical errors and they basically told me if I broke the truck I would be SOL.
Please go with quality equipment that you know a company will stand behind.
