tensor time?

[el_whiteboy8888]

tensor... what do you think? im thinking of buying some lows or mids. has anyones rode them before? what did you think of them? pros and cons listed here.

[BakerStencil]

I had a pair of Mids, I traded them to Ephie boy for some GK G-6 Just because the king pin is high....But other then that they are good trucks, very stable, not real heavy etc.

[evilcheese00]

My hanger cracked on tensor mids...that just pure shitness.

[atticus]

I'm not a big fan of tensor. I guess i've had a bad impression of them. Cracked in a few weeks.

[the_skateboarde]

i think they are pretty good and some of them look cool

[Flipstreetskate]

BOOOOO tensor. i suggest some nice thunder lows.

[el_whiteboy8888]

thunder eh? anthing about them i need to know? like do the king pins saty where they should? these venture king pins keep letting my nut fall off now.... and the nut has a huge dent in the top now so i cant tighten them up... loseness is a blessing and a curse for me

[Flipstreetskate]

my thunders kingpins got grinded a bit but i could still get a wrench on them. tensor kingpins stick out so far eventually you wouldnt have any kingpins

[el_whiteboy8888]

the ventures are a littel ground, like you said, but i like trucks losse. i mean, do thunders lock good? say you like yours medium tight, do they stay that way for a long while? or do you have to tighten them 10 times a session? i like low and smoothing grinding in a truck, but one of the most important things to me is the king pin. losser or tighter then i like throws off my whole style. quick mr. flip tell me or this message wil explode in 10...9...8...

[Flipstreetskate]

ive had the thunders for like 2 months and i havent had to mess with their tightness at all. by what i can tell its exactly the same. they also grind very well and make a satisfying sound as they grind.

[el_whiteboy8888]

sounds good. what type are they? and where did you get them?

[Flipstreetskate]

me bought them at a local shop. i have the marc johnson models.

[el_whiteboy8888]

alright. thank you. our work here is done. mods... kill this

Anyways...from what my friends tell me tensor SUCKS they crack in the first few weeks i rode some once and they felt like crap...

[Sk8 Or DiE]

^^ HA HA i agree who cares what it looks like.

[jeffyzai]

my tensor's kinda sucked. the turning wasn't great cuz the bushings sucked. i decided to change the bushings to doh-doh's and when i did, the top bushing got all destroyed for no reason. i dont like them.

[DarkHawk2-2]

tensors suck.

thunders on the other hand... are amazing trucks. The only problem thunders have is the parts. Like the bushings. Theyre good and all but after a while they blow out and u gotta get new bushings. the thing is, other bushings dont fit on thunders, only thunder bushings fit. Also, thunders have kingpin hang. It's annoying as **** to try to 50-50 some big ass ledge and it locks up because kingpin hung up... Other than that, Thunders are AMAZING trucks.

[sk8dirtywheels]

tensors suck go with royals

[BoardAbuser]

get Independents there the best Trucks i rode they can hold up alot of abuse

Silvers suck ASS. They grind like shit, turn like shit, and they break like shit. I've tried 'em. Two of my friends had 'em. One of them broke a hanger doing a flat kickflip, the trucks were about 2 weeks old.. The other broke a hanger kickflipping a 5 stair, the trucks were about 3 days old.

i have the broken pieces in my box o' broken boards. I'll take pics and get em up here... eventually.
