radikal vs stims

[mark grimace]

I just removed the stims from two set ups and replaced them with new radikal bushings...amazing stuff. Great rebound...very smooth. The blacks even at my 273lbs are to stiff..but the rest are amazing...highly recommended.

The best set up is my Fibreflex kicktail

force trucks
front - red top blue bottum
back - blue top green bottum

this set up runs the best I have ever had it.

Indeedly... I cannot feel the difference between the Radikal bushes and Stims under foot, except maybe in the higher durometers - I still prefer blue Stims. Do the Force trucks accept their massively sized goodness without any lathing needed?

I'm a blue stims guy too....but I like the rad greens as a replacement.

i have that exact same set-up with my force C-7 ( DH trucks). the radikals are awesome, as you said great rebound and huge amounts of thane to squish.

the force take the radikals just but the do fit even with the stock king-pin

Hmm... I need to get some of them...

I read somewhere that the Radikal bushings are poured with Krypto thane by Bravo... This true?

[I hate Cops.]

Yep. Kyrpto urethane. One thing I've found when using them is make sure they're not "bound up." What I mean by that is making sure you've got enough kingpin that you're not putting much resistance on them. They work better when they're lively.
