    Cool New bushings for Randals

    i definately need new bushings because this stock bull#### will no longer stand. i'm 180 pounds and need something less mushy. i was thinking khiro blues in front and reds in back.
    rise, life is in motion.

    What are you using this for?

    I have khiro blues in front and randal bushings in the back of my trylam for pumping. I'm 140 pounds. I hope that helps.

    I outweigh you by 25 pounds and actually like the stock yellow bushings.

    Khiro Bitch, JimZ, and Tracker Stimulators would all be worth considering.

    Yeah, those blues aren't gonna feel less mushy that the stock bushings. I'd think you'd be into reds or yellows or even a black/yellow or yellow/red split on the rear and reds up front. If ya got the funds one of the Khiro kits can solve a lot of problems. Or at least get a selection of whatever ya do go for.

    It really does depend a lot on where and how you ride though.

    What do you guys think about this...

    Alright i am missing a bottom bushing for my 2 sets of Holey Bushings (honest mistake) from my order. My Boo Vanguard comes in tomorrow and i have a set of Randal 180's (havent flipped them *yet*).

    I have a completely new set of Jimz Speed Bushings that i havent even taken out of their bag that i was intentionally going to use for a speed board purchase later on. Anyways i dropped the BOTTOM Jimz in and kept the Holey TOP bushings. So right now my Randal 180's have Jimz Speed bushings on the bottom with Holey top bushings on top. I have flat washers/upgraded kingpin and all of that... but since i cant try this out till tomorrow does anyone have any insight on how this would ride? How do Jimz carve? they have a softer duro than the Holey bushings (Jimz 80a/Holey 84a) They look pretty cool does anyone have any knowledge of this?

    If your new to bushings I cannot stress enough the value of a bushing kit.

    I was going to buy several individual sets, talked to Mark and ended up getting the kit. That was the best $28 I ever spent.

    Just think about it, if you're going to pay around $12 for bushings anyway, pay the extra $15 and have the comfort of knowing you can change it if it doesn't work. Khiro bushings are top-notch, too.

    "Less turny-ness" is why people flip their Randals.
