Bad Points: They are quite heavy
General comments: I really like these trucks, I would definitely tell everyone to get these trucks, I like them, they are really good

The Independent 126 Skateboard Trucks are heavy, which is also a good thing, but because they are so heavy, once you switch to lighter trucks you're ollie will be higher. If you are going to get these trucks, also have other trucks, because these trucks are only good for practice.

Independent 126 is very good in general, you can't go wrong with Indys if you can't afford to replace undesireable trucks all the time. Spend a little more and these trucks will last a very long time. dont listen to people who say they are too heavy to do anything on because there not. What they lack in lightness they make up for in quality, the chromoly axles will last a lot longer!

They are THE TRUCKS. Indy has created quite a name in skateboarding. I think they are the best trucks at the moment. I have mine for 6 months now, and they are in perfect condition. I don't mind that people say they are heavy. For me they feel diffrenetly than the other trucks and I`ve tried Tensors, Fury, Venture and Blind, so buy these.

The Independent 126 are overall a good truck, a little heavy I started using them after I broke my ventures on a little 3 stair. Bought the indy's from my friend, I like them they dont wear down a lot, I skate everyday and they are in pretty good condition after about 5 months. If you use venture get indy's because they will make you ollie a lot higher even if they are heavy.

The Independent 126 trucks cost me 70 bucks canadian, and they were worth every penny. They handle really well, they took a real beating, and they will continue to. Their clearence is perfectly tuned to what I want, and the weight of independants is badly over rated.

I've had my Independent 126s for almost a year and a half and I just had to get new trucks cause I live in an old nieghborhood and the curbs are really rough. They would have lasted at least a few more months if I had used a rail. Independents are extremely durable, ride well, grind ok, and can be used on new and old school holes. They could be lighter but it's not that bad a trade off but the worst thing is that grinds are sometimes screwed up by the oversized kingpin.

The Independent 126 were my first trucks. They were really good for about a year and a half, then the bushings went. yeah they last a long time. I've had them for a year and 3 months. Anyway, they grind really smooth, turn good and slide good, but the kingpin could be lower, and the bushings suck bum. They are also heavier than Sally Struthers at an all-you-can-eat chinese food buffet. I just got some Silvers, and those are pretty good. Actually, I take it back, they kick any other company's bum ...

I've had at least two pairs of the stage 8's and it is true, the axles do bend. But don't worry, they grind the best and feel the best grinding and guess what else? You can trade in your bent axle Indy's for the new stage 9's which are a lot better, the kingpin is viturally indestructable and the axles don't bend!
Yeah, it sucks bending your axle but hey, trade them in and get the new model, I betcha no other company can do that.

I hate these trucks. It took me a whole of 2 or 3 weeks to snap 4 kingpins. After a little skating at some loading docks I bent the axles.

Independent 126 trucks are annoying... They are pretty good at first untill the bushings pop... after that comes the kingpins. One of mine broke after a while, i couldn't get it out so i had to use a different baseplate. After another week the other one snapped so i gave up and got new trucks. While they last tho they slide good and feel great!

These Independent 126's trucks have lasted AGES! no wonder pro's like Andrew Reynolds use them. The threads haven't brocken which always happens to me so i have to spend ages taking wheels off or on. These trucks also slide really well and don't wear down so that they turn flat. in conclusion
BUY THESE TRUCKS!

Indys are great. They turn progressively, are really stable and super strong. I can do street skating, then go bomb a hill on my 126's. The only problems are the weight (heavy) and the fact that the kingpin is exposed to grinding as it is set quite high.

These Independent trucks are the proper stuff, they last ages but are a bit on the heavy side, i'd buy them for my next set of trucks when my current indys wear out (could be waiting a long time).

I've been riding Independant trucks since people were talking about this "little kid" tony hawk who was amazing but skinny as a twig.
In all the years I skated, and I still do, I have not had one set of indy trucks break or bend or fail me in any other fashion.
I have this board with "fury" trucks on it and they are bent. What a bummer! I didn't buy the fury trucks, I'm going to get another set of indys for my backup.
