    Default 85a or 90a super carves

    I'm looking to put venom super carves on the top of my tracker darts (with hourglass bushings on the bottom). I use the board for the dancing and carving and I'm looking for a bit more rebound than I have now (My tracker hourglass bushings are 86a). I weigh about 155 lbs . What would you guys recommend? If you have exp. w/ super carves, that would be most helpful

    thanks

    You may need a longer kingpin to fit the Venom Supercarves with the Hourglass bushings. The stock bushings are usually a barrel/short cone, are they not?

    the bushings in the super carve packs are "short" cones though, aren't they?

    If they are tall cones then I'll just go with reflex bushings (they have short and tall cones), but still don't know about which duro... for reflex I'd be choosing between at 86a or a 89a durometer

    All Venom cones are the same size--tall.

    Or if you can get your hands on some green khiros they work great on darts I have them on mine and they carve really nice.

    Right now my Tracker Darts have Red Venom Supercarves (90a) on bottom and Blue Khiro short cones (85a) on top. I weigh about 140lb. I enjoy it. Could probably get tweaked a little more, but I'm waiting for my Reflexes to continue fiddling.

    there is not green khiro. maybe he ment green venom, but that seems a little hard. or could be green retro, which would seem too soft, or lime retro which might work.

    What reflexes did you order? Let me know if you like them, I'm probably going to order some 86 and 89 "small" cones, I don't personally know anyone who has these yet

    For short cones, I ordered lime(80a)x2, lemon(83a)x2, and orange(86a)x4.
    For barrels, I ordered lemon(83a)x2, orange(86a)x2, and orange+(89a)x4.

    Probably should have grabbed some tall cones, but oh well. I swapped the Venom Supercarves in after I placed my order for the Reflexes.

    Now I don't even think I'm gonna get reflex bushings, I think I'm gonna go with some bones hardcore bushings (soft ones). I hear only good things about them
