Im sure they are legit, but if you look at nearly all the pro's riding munkaes you see they are riding 75 49 just because they are more nimble and turn more, there is no issue with stability with munkaes because of the sick job they have done with the bushing seats and pivot cups.

for $250, i think 190mm would be a worthwhile trade, and if Mike English has been shredding them, their obviously rad trucks, he wouldn't choose 190mm if they werent legit.

I don't find the baseplate on munkaes makes too much of a difference, i ride 175 49 myself and love them! best ride ever, but i have also riden 175 42 and they also feel really nice and with the right bushing set up they would be better, i am 70 and run purple sabre bushings and red venom barrels in my munkaes and am never looking back.

So basically 49 and 42 plates don't make a huge difference (they have the same ride height aswell) but get 175 hangers not 190!!

got myself some Caliber 44s last week, haven't had the chance to test em out much due to the weather, just a few short skates, the feel of them under my board and the way they turn for a 44 degree truck even with the stock bushings is the best out of all the cast trucks I have had the opportunity to try
