Venom bushings?

[bananaboarder]

got my first set of venoms today
93a in the back 85a up front on gullwing m1s
had to change out the kingpins but there's a real difference
(been running bone hardcore and some softer stock bushings)
my deck feels hella responsive and can pump like crazy now
recomended

/wonders how much money TVAR has made from these bushings.....

I got my venoms a few weeks back but due too bad weather I haven't been able to run them until last week.
I run them on my kahas and I was well impressed, so I took them down to Kahalani so Dan and Mike could feel them.
They liked the feel and I'm gonna let them try somemore duros (they tried my 90as) and they said they would like to try make venoms regular on kahas

What size washers are you guys using on the DH barrel combo?

[DPerjar]

I don't really care how much money Zak has made off of these as long as he uses the money to bring some more products to us.

Regular cupped washer for the bottom bushing.

Sorry for the double post.

I use the cups that come with them. They are large enough that they don't cut into the bushing and they hold it in place nicely, seems like there might also be a little more rebound with cups? I'm not sure if that's possible or makes any sense though.

[DPerjar]

It bothers me using flat washers that are smaller than the diameter of the bushing. Seems like the bushing spills over in hard cornering, I don't think that's a good thing. I assume that the more room you give the bushing to move in a turn, the less you get out of the bushing as far as rebound.

Nah, makes little difference, if any to a slightly larger flat washer.
Cupped washer on top feels different though.

A cupped washer on top would also cut into your pretty red Paris hangers. At least it did on mine...

[DPerjar]

Yeah, I've got flat on my Dervish with chargers for that very reason. Cups on my Demonseed with Crails because I've got them cranked down enough that they don't bite the hanger.

also just flip the cupped washer that comes w/ on the top , as long as your trucks provide enough room

I had no idea they came with washers or I wouldn't have asked...got mine in the mail yesterday....sex

[funkpod]

hey, i weigh like 160 lbs, i'm thinking about getting the standard duro bushing to replace them in my old paris, and i want a carvy and pumpable ride.

what duro should i get?

I just got my 93a super carvers, put them on my randall 180ies (mounted on a KS M1<) and it's a whole different board. Anyone uses them on Benett vectors? I would get double barrells but somehow I think the upper barrell doesn't fit. Can they simply be cut, or should I rather use the upper Bennett bushing?

I would never have thought some little piece of urethane makes such a difference.

[erik.lyon]

ok, i have asked around about this for a while and haven't gotten a great answer yet. i am looking to put venom bushings in my mini with bennetts. what would you suggest? i am 155lbs and 6'. i was thinking the lowest duro super carve, does that sound about right or would i have to do barrels in a bennett?

[st3v13]

? the upper barrel fits fine in a bennet.the stock bennet bushings are HUGEE
I get the impression that the bushigsn will get ripped apart in the bennet trucsk though...
I haven't tried riding with venom venom. I'm riding with custom bennet sized abec11 pink with 81a venom top. The bushing has taken alot of wear from very little riding but i guess most bushings take this much abuse.

also bushing and wheel urethane is different.

wheel urethane is engineered to wear and bushing thane is .... different ....

[st3v13]

I was reffering to the venoms not the abec11 reflex bushing. the reflex bushigns actually seem perfectly fine
