Default bounce

A couple of things I'd like to mention:

1. I find it hard to believe that yellow DohDohs are harder than black Bones.

2. This very valuable list would be even better if it had a category for or bounciness and/or turniness (assuming that's a word). For example, yellow DohDohs and blue Stimulators are both listed as 92a, but are clearly very different in terms of truck action. The Stims are relatively hard but still bouncy and turny. The DohDohs are calmer and less turny and seem to feel harder.

Comments?

They measure approx 85a. It's hard to get an exact reading, however, as the durometer's "pin" is close to the bushing's edge(s). Holey bushings test out about the same (85-87a).

The JimZ Bushing (they are on the list) are 80a, you can expect new harder duros from Jim this summer.

I´ve got blu stims, yellow stims, green medium stims..
but no soft green stims. In what duro are they? Are they different in colors from the medium green stims?
As I recall..weren´t there purple very hard stims too?

I am under the impression that the softer green stims are the same as the yellow stims and they just messed up the color when they made them.

That's my understanding, too.
