so i've had these tensors for more than a year, and theres a crack where i grind 5-0s, and the wheel on that side is tilted. do any of you have a suggestion as to what type of truck i should purchase next? it seems like the silver trucks are very well made, but have any of you ridden a pair?

Why don't you just buy a new hanger?

the base is also fucked. the little point that goes into the cup crushed away the metal under it. i just want some new trucks, and tensors arent as good as some of the other trucks i've tried on another friend's board.

You want a good set of destructo's. Most are gonna say "they're too heavy" but do you really think 2 extra ounces are going to make a difference? Plus, they last a farkin lifetime

the new indy stage 9's are good, they're actually light, but i would recommend changing the bushings out.

Indys are the only one's that use grade 5 steel bolts; they are noticebly weaker if you do any kind of gap. GK's are pretty good if you change the bushings, and the Titaniums are godly if you have the cash. Destructos are pretty nice, but I don't like how high they sit. Just not my feel. |

I tightened them as tight as they go but when I ride it it's still loose. Friking weird as hell to be riding those shiznits. |

Friking weird as hell to be riding those shiznits. you kids and your tight trucks, whens the last time you turned without having to use the tail. i ride mine as loose as they are before you get wheelbite. of course i don't do the flips and the techest thing i ever do is a ollie manual shove it. |

I'm pretty techy.....so, I can make up for that department....the tightness of trucks is just a personal preference...
