Paris if most of your riding is under 50km/h bears if its above
do an eenie meenie minie mo... i meant neither coz neither is better than the other. They both have their differences but the only way you can REALLY tell the feel of the ride apart is by riding both of them and playing around with different bushing setups and different board setups... which takes time. so if you are planing on buying a new set of trucks and want to find the 'better' trucks you will be looking for a while, doesn't matter what you buy out of those two i guarantee u will love them
ok thanx guys
will be going into hop shop tomorow to get some so we'll see what i get
the hole in the hanger where the kingpin goes through was ground into an oval in under a month on my bears. dunno if any one else had the same problem?
thats not really a problem, it'll give you more turn!
personally like the feel of pumpkin bushings quite alot, i would go bears (providing you get the good bushings that are not orange in them)
do they actually...
and does that cover scratches hahaha

Paris have a lifetime warranty.
Some people here seem to have the wrong idea of what a manufacturers guarantee is. There is absolutely no chance that Paris will give you some new trucks cause you bent the axles or broke a base plate doing standup slides, early grabs, grinds and smashing into gutters. That's what a 5" street truck is designed for these trucks are not designed to live forever under punishment, they are designed not to fail due to manufacturing fault under very normal conditions that include no impact on the truck. The truck is designed for carving, it is a fantastic truck for everything else but it is designed for carving.
get randals. nah idk any reason why you arent considering randalls or you just havent thought of it?

oh hangon i know a reason. apparently paris on drop through decks isnt good because theyre logo stands out and imprints in to your deck. so if you have a drop through id get the bears.
thanks for all the responses.i ended up getting the bears
