    Default Sidewinder/Mission...mix and match

    I got some sidewinders...great for pumping sliding and commuting but im looking into the fsm mini! Gullwing makes the missions and I need to know if the hanger on the missions which are 187mm will work on the sidewinders without the 158mm hanger...Please send some hopeful feedback.

    some sidewinders...


    some missions...

    if your goin to get another set of trucks you might as well get some randal or paris or indy trucks. the quality is better and you can still turn and carve very sharp if you get some soft bushings

    if you want the turn os your sidwinders, although without the lean, try bennetts. find some 6.0s, you have very turny 150mm trucks.

    Get some sort of conventional trucks; they'll bring your FSM to life. Hybrids are ideal, but any conventional trucks that can accommodate an old-school bolt patter will work.

    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.
