Stock Venom cup washers and a single nylon washer under the bottom bushing to keep the flipped hanger in the proper position (which I end up doing with the stock Randal bottom bushing, too).

I like a man with loose bushings. and Venoms afford that

Are you being sarcastic? This thread is 33 pages long, that question was answered a long time ago.

**guivans** · 12-31-2008 04:31 AM

I got some venoms a while ago. now ive skated them a few times I will be switching back to the good old black randal barrels I was using before.
Venoms are ok, but not as nice as the old black randals barrels.

Good review, we totally know why you think that way now.

Try explaining yourself next time so we actually LEARN something.

old black barrels are the ones that are like rocks right?

I have used them as rear bushings on my slalom board when I want to completely kill turning

Randal makes black barrels that are 88a and those may be what he has.

**DRC** · 12-31-2008 03:11 PM

I bought 93a barrels all around and I really think I should've waited for the 90a's to come back in stock.

They're waaayy too hard for my 175lbs.

I just ordered my first set of Venom's (90a Super-Carve pack). I'm curious to see how they compare to Khiro's.

**Xgecko** · 12-31-2008 04:18 PM

softer with better rebound

Venoms are like a steak dinner, khiros are like 711 hot dogs

**st3v13** · 12-31-2008 07:31 PM

Venoms are sweet but i think i'm gonna try to sand down the slippery shinnieness. Its pissing me off b/c they just slide around against flat washers. And i hate using cupped washer on the top.(it hits the hanger)
