Great ! Now i want to understand the physical point ( how things work ) in mixings different duros of bushings in the same kingpin / truck !
Lets just remove somethings from this all equation :
Kind : Khiros bushings
Shape : Normal, not bitch
Duros: Different
Map : Bottom bushing-> the one closer to the board
Upper bushing-> the one closer to the road, away from the board
Well.....i dont know if both bottom and up bushings beeig barrel is very relevant for this question, but lets not focus on that.
When i think for myself the behaviour of the bushings "inside" the truck i realise that the angle made by the axle (when turning, im imagining a frontal view) affects both bushings in the same way, wich means that the bottom bushing is compressed as much the upper one just on different sides, i.e. the bottom is compressed on the right side and the up on the left...
Are you still with me ?
NOW! i've been thinking about it and i've reached a conclusion (in my mind lol) since it is the bottom bushing that takes all the rider weight ( i think) i think (again) that this has to be harder than the upper one. Can anyone explain how bottom soft upper hard or bottom hard upper soft can differently affect the :
Turning ability , how stable for high speeds, stable for turning, realy anything helps....
I've been thinking about this because ,when speedboarding, when youre exiting a turn , the board can drift a little but when it grips you want it stable, not shaken you up....just if you're not realy that crazy
proper terminology is that the " bottom" bushing is the closest to the deck, and the "top" is the small one. assuming the top and bottom have the "standard" khiro barrel/conical shape and size, it's generally:
soft top/soft bottom: feels the softest
hard top/soft bottom: feels medium-soft
soft top/hard bottom: feels medium-hard
hard top/hard bottom: feels the hardest

What im trying to understand is ! how does the combinations you've just mentioned affects the rebound, compression feeling etc ... in speedboarding not carving or dancing...

Hardest = most rebound
softest = least rebound
Hardest = more stability = less turnability
softest = less stability = more turnability
PHYSICAL btw.

true, but that's 'cause they're harder to compress...
I donno, what ev.
Right.
[hypothetical] If a person is huge enough to compress a Jimz bottom shape in say, 97a, enough to achieve some semblance of great rebound, then said bushing probably isn't going to rebound said person's fat ass much, either. Especially once the hangers fracture and the axles bend. [end hypothetical]
Oh yeah: Yes, Karrott, I love your bushings.

have you ever ridden...oh gosh, doh-doh's, indy bushings, randal bushings, CORE bushings, venture bushings, or destructo bushings?
ride those, then tell me that khiros have no rebound
khiros are GREAT bushings...i use them on all my setups. they're great in combination with bones, k-rots, stims, and pretty much every other high-quality bushing i've ridden.
