| Yes there is already a thread, but I don't want to bump it and this thread will be a little bit different. So some of you may have or have not heard of those trucks, I actually like them. I want to buy them, anyone else? Because then we could split shipping etc I asked if it could fit double bearing wheels and they said this "Yes you can put dual bearing wheels there, the axle is longer than BRT, it's more like a Ytrucks axle. SO it will be fit for dual bearing wheels." I don't know what the difference is between Ytrucks axles and BRT axles, but I've heard that Ytrucks are good trucks so yeah. I also asked for more pics; All the pics: They look awesome, and they only cost 7 dollars, and you'll get the trucks, "upgraded bushings and custom made washers", and ofc the special tool! Shipping is 10 dollars, but if someone wants to buy these trucks too we can split the costs, so please leave a comment! |

| So are these just shaped and re-axeled China's, or what?
I'm just wondering how wheels fit on them... If they fit nicely or are loose or too tight or what not. |

| Look nice. It's just a shame they come more to ship than to buy. Shipping splits are probably the way to go for these I'd think. |

| Yea, they are still a great buy.. But calling the pro trucks is a bit more than they can live up to i think..
I'd compare them to TD longboard trucks. |

| Bollie trucks are just chinas under a different name. And even if the fp trucks are china, at least they're better made than tdlb trucks. I heard the metal on those is soft and will wear down easily. |

| I don't know if the metal is weak on the longboard trucks. It might just be the paint on the black ones because it chips off extremely easily. All of the paint on my black pair is gone. |

| Sorry but these are some badly shaped and (maybe widened) chinas. Lets be real, they look..well..kinda poopy.. Bollie, Dump, TD wides, chinas also all the same sort of product under different names as others points out. Exactly the same functional quality.. TD longboard trucks are great for the price, but are in fact 33-34mm wide from what I have measured with my digital caliper. Sure the paint will ware off, but either that is cool for looks and/or you can just use chemical paint remover and then repaint them if the setup needs to look minty fresh and unused all the time.. If you want pro trucks you all know where to get the real ones, but prepare to pay big and expect better quality.. |

| So just to clarify, if you want 32mm trucks your choices are: Chemistry Fingerplant Ytrucks BRTs TD longboard trucks (which I have found difficult to get hold of) That's it right? Because BRTs and Y's are waaaay out of my budget for now, but the chemistry/fingerplant trucks are a good price (yes, I know.... China...support the scene... Etc. etc.). If there is a scene friendly alternative then let me know |

| Well, I think you just gave yourself the answer to what your options are then. Buy what you can afford and what you feel you need I would say. No shame in trying out something different.. |

| Yeah, I suppose I have! I've just bought a set of chemistry trucks (raw, because I'm impatient!), so we shall see! I don't imagine it'll make a huge difference, but then that's what I thought about good bushings so.... |
