Bushing help

[cptlord]

Hi, I've had a dervish for about a month now with paris trucks. i've read that the paris 180s have terrible stock bushings, so i'm planning on upgrading. i like a pretty responsive ride, and want to be able to carve and slide easily, but still be stable enough to do some dh. i weigh 165. i've read that venoms are nice, but i'm not sure which durometer to get. thanks

you need to get some harder bushings for downhill and some softer ones for carving

the best advice I can give you is to buy at least 3 different full sets of bushings across the range of duros and try them out, see what combination you like best and go with it

ok thanks. i was thinking about prob getting 81a or 85a. is there a significant difference between these duros?

[sterlingc]

i would say so , I would get another step higher and go for a lower 90a as well so you have a few options , 81 - 85 - 90 is a good split ,

the 81's are going to feel gushy soft under your weight , the 85's will probably feel about right and you can break the 90's out when you feel like going fast

I have Paris on my Dervish and I`m 165 as well. 81a will be way too soft, I run 90a standard pack and it`s pretty loose... Go 85a for super loose.

great, thanks very much for the advice.
