    black - harder
    white - softer

    as far as I know the blacks sold out really fast

    There was an initial run of the softer duro in black but after that they are now different.

    we got a large box of JImZ bushing here at skate school in santa fe, NM, home of TSR.

    they were marked, the white ones coming marked with 80a and 82.5a the blacks were marked 85a. if you give us a call mayble we can send you some, that is if the TSR team does'nt grab all of them.

    Think the 85a's would work good on 3 Randal 180mm trucks on a streetluge (in avatar pic)?

    since there seemed to be some confusion, TSR is NOt giving away JimZ bushing. i was trying to say if you are having trouble finding the bushing and want some, we can probably sell you some, even though they don't show up in our online shop, we do have a bunch, of all the duros. go to www.timeshipracing.com to get our contact info

    just got my black ones in. I noticed, that the top bushing has a washer already built in. Kinda embedded in there.

    yea in fact i bought it from ur store mark. Yea i have white ones but really could'nt tell if they had the washer in them. I still use washers on the black/white ones just to be safe tho. I dont feel comfortable with my kingpin rubbing up on $25 bushings.

    Jimz bushings are made from depleted uranium same as the projectiles they use in rail guns and other futuristic weapons.

    Regular urethane, its the shape thats different.May be a bit soft for your luge, depends on how you like your trucks I guess.
