Bushing Suggestions for Vanguard

[absorbentpig]

I recently purchased a Vanguard as a second longboard after I got tired of my Sector Trylam. I love riding my trucks loose and love to carve. I currently have flat washers with stock bushings on my randal 180's but i'm looking to see if a new bushing setup is the way to go. I weigh 140-145 and I'm looking for a good deep carve as well as good transitions in my setup. I don't want to have to spend too much on buying many sets of bushings for a combo since my wallet's pretty much empty after that purchase, so please keep the suggestions as simple as possible. Thanks.

the yellow bushings in the randals are 90a i think, so i would go with eaither white(73a), orange(79a) or blue(85a) khiro bushings.

i honestly really like the Holey bushings in Randals great rebound, i did some research back when i got mine and i had heard people liking them a lot in randals and i was very happy with them as-well

well, what do you have on the trylam?
ive got my randals set up with a mix of khiro barrels, khiro bitches, and bones hardcores.

[Crappysurfer]

get khiro white and blues

at 185 lbs. mhm suggested (bigger) khiro blue barrel on bottom and orange bitch top

I liked the feel of red bitch bottoms and blue bitch tops. all big ones

I have the stock red bushings with flat washers on the trylam. But now that I've really experienced the joy of deep carves with the vanguard, I'm looking for more. I'm not sure about buying many sets and mixing them just yet, would khiro whites on the front and orange on the back be a good start? Also, bitches or barrels?

...would khiro whites on the front and orange on the back be a good start? Also, bitches or barrels?

For me white would be a bit of over kill, but if you're >150 it might not be bad.

Barrels will have better rebound/return to center. Conical bushings (Bitches, Randals, Indys, ect) will generally turn deeper. I also find that barrels get progressively stiffer in turn, but this is less noticeable with conical bushings.

bones hardcores, khiro's, and even JimZ's i have found to work well.

[revelation2]

...blue and orange khiros will work well...

Although green stims would be my personal choice, but they're hard to find these days.

Yea, I read through all of them but I realized that weight makes a difference on what people recommend. I weigh about 140 so I wanted some recommendations specific to that.

[eazylax]

i weigh 140-145 and i run khiro blue and oranges on my flex 4. it is perfect.

[Jonn]

i weight the same 140lbs, how does khiro whites on the bottom with khiro orange barrels on the top sound? right now my board runs a khiro white with stock yellow randall on top, im used to it but i want a better turn.

[Lee W]

Usually people run the softer duro on top (further from the deck), and the higher duro on the bottom (closer to the baseplate). Of course do what feels right for yourself.

o thats what i meant. i had it flopped
