I just run the cups all around. I know when I had flats all on my JimZ they felt deader than usual, and they're usually dead, so I assumed the same with these. They definitely have a lot of rebound. First time I took them to like 25-30 it felt a lot different than the JimZ just because of the rebound, they felt bouncy. After you ride them a bit, break them in a bit, the feel really smooth and stable

I've been noticing that, too. And they're nice little cup washers--more precise profile in section than many. Apologies for hasty flat-washer hive-think way upthread....

i agree, i'm waiting for stims. Barrels generally don't do it for me, so i'll stick with my Karrots for now until Zak brings out the stims.
as for carving set-ups, i'm waiting on some 85a barrels to stick in my dervish. gonna be awesome.

Barrels are good and with cupped washers I can get them to behave but I got spoiled on Zaks hand poured Stims and Karrots Reflex Stims. Part of the reason I like Fastracks is the huge bushings feel so nice to me. I have a pretty large collection of stim shapped bushings from various people that I will use in addition to Zaks barrels

since mile high got them back in stock, i figured i should pick some of these bad boys up
i have a dervish, paris 180s, and i weigh around 120
any suggestions for a pumpable carvy setup? i was thinking the 85a's, but i don't know what shape to get...

85a standard pack sounds right to me.

I weigh 157 and just broke in my 85a venoms. It's a carver/pumper/commuter setup. Double cones in front, double barrels in back. Old RII 150's. Felt like bones cones w/ a lot more
squish, better lean and rebound. Just incredible. I will switch out a couple of them for 90a's
eventually. Very nice.

**fluke** · 11-04-2008 06:23 PM

Ahhhh... got my first Venom bushings to play with today. Mixed them with some clear red randal cones in my R2s on my Spliff. I got the 85a cones (super carve). Magic. I really love it; the rebound is a lot better than the Khiros I had in it. Big thumbs up from another happy Venom user.

I anxiously await the others I ordered for my other boards, lol.

EDIT: for reference with those 85a cones. I weigh 200 lbs and like my trucks loose.

**AFTT** · 11-04-2008 06:49 PM

So... I bought two packs of super carve, one 85a, one 81a. Was this a bad idea?

Also, I ordered two 78a in standard.

**streetheap** · 11-04-2008 07:09 PM

I've just decided these barrells rule. The most versatile bushings I've ever tried in a longboard.
Again, nice work, Zak!

Venom bushings cured my gonorrhea!

Nope, just put soft in front, harder in back. You're fine. 78a might be a bit soft. How much do you weigh?

**chandler95** · 11-04-2008 08:59 PM

I just ordered some 93a DH's for my Mystery Model (Whenever the hell it comes out)

**aaronaftershock** · 11-04-2008 09:18 PM

81a Standard Packs all around in some 180's...

How much do you weigh aaron ?
At 145lbs i like the 85a Standards in my R2s and also tried 90a Super Carves but i find them a little too hard.

Okay, it's good then, it just might take a while to get used to really turny.

All greens in Avenger with kahas had a mix result; I tied them down do where they felt stable but once I tried to lean I felt like I was going to fall off the board. Then I loose them up but they where to carvy for high speed, the board wanted to dart from under me.

I also order some 90a but I left them, when I got home I change the top front bushing for a 90a I believe this will solve the problem. Zack I think I was mistaken about you’re bushings been to soft for big guys. Hopefully the red on top will do the trick for me, because since I had the Kahas, I have not had a good combo of bushing on them till know. Even tho Venom’s are some what taller than Khiro barrels they fit the kahas very good. THX!!! for a great product, is the Colorado gang coming to the Texas sizzler next year.
