Big List of Bushing Specifications (add to it!)

[Gooseman]

you're not wrong, if you think about it the more it the bushing compresses the deeper the turn. The return to center might not be as good depending on the duro though. You're on the right track, don't shoot yourself down so early.

[Mjolnir]

I know someone already asked about the red Paris stock bushings but does anyone know? thanks

[randomT]

Another one for the list:

Moog, black, 95A

source: crail-website
Standard-bushing with Crail speedtrucks

[Gorillabone]

Not sure if it's been mentioned or not but stock Alpine and Charger Bushings are 92a

[yamban]

Khiro orange (79A) and the purple (98A).

[Xgecko]

any one know what the stock Ace white bushings are? they feel somewhere in between a red and blue Khiro but....

[TheAmanite]

destructo
soft: 90a (light blue)
medium: 93a (orange)
hard: 97a (white)

i currently run the soft ones (barrel top and bottom) in my randal rII 180s and i like them very much.
they are slightly bigger than doh doh's and turn totally smooth.

I bought some independent bushings yesturday. It says on the package:

Soft Cushions - Red
Med. Cushions - Orange
Hard Cushions - Black

[ModernDaySkiBum]

Is there any sort of measurment for rebound? i doubt it because i have never heard about it, but it would be interesting to be able to compare bushing rebound with some sort of scale...

anyone?

I suppose the resilience could be a measure of rebound. It is the ratio of the energy returned over the energy put in. I am fairly certain they don't measure the resilience for bushings although if they did it would certainly give a better idea as to the "rebound" of the bushings.
hope that helps

[PatJuh]

what duro are the stock Paris bushings?

[jc cruzer]

are Khiro bushings good.. if so why

what'd you get though? i need new bushings. any suggestions?

[boxinheadphones]

My bushings for my Alpines are stock.. 92a. that seems pretty hard. Is that why sometimes at high speeds my board kinda recoils during my carves?

[17thstreetsurfer]

anyone know the duro on tracker medium yellow barrels, light blue soft tracker top, and medium burgundy top?

Blue = 90 durometer (soft)
Orange = 94 durometer (medium)
Green = 97 durometer (Hard)

These Tracker bushings actually look mad sick. Here is the info from Tracker.

"Why do we call them superballs? When we first started working with our chemical engineers and design team, we set out to formulate a material that would have the rebound and bounce like actual super balls. With months of testing and remixing compounds we came up with a material, not only similar to the original super balls, but we were also able to mimic the swirl pattern as well. The Tracker Superball cushions require no break-in period. Right out of the bag, the superballs perform, breathing new life into tired worn out trucks. Superballs are available in three hardnesses."

I have mediums all around on the 219s mounte on my evo and i like it for what it is. stable and i can carve comfortable but its not really responsive. on my old school i have a werid set up im playing with. im riding indy 129s or 39s, im not sure. in the back i've got bottom indy med, top bones hardcore med, front trucks is wedged and has indy soft bottoma nd bones hardcore soft top.. the softs are pretty soft, really carvy.

[N88]

i dont like how the bushings mentioned below are soft medium and hard,

duros please soft and hard are very different for a 120 pound girl vs a 220 pound guy

[Barf]

If you're gonna have Seismic springs in there, you might as well have Original springs, too.

Silver - ?? (no longer produced)
Black (Light Tension): 0Lbs to 180Lbs
Red (Medium Tension): 180Lbs to 210Lbs
White (Heavy Tension): 210Lbs to 280Lbs

[sasuke1avenger]

you got it backwards white is the lightest and turn the hardest but were to carvey for me and will jimz speed bushings fit my R7

i agree. i would've posted duros if they were listed on the website or on the box they came in, but they only came listed as soft, medium and hard.

Well, somebody's backwards. I don't think it's me, though.

Look here:
Original Longboards Longboard truck Medium Tension Spring Upgrade - SG02

The Original S-Series truck comes standard with light tension (black) springs to work for the widest range of riders. Heavier riders will apprecite the increased return to center that a higher tension spring provides.

Advanced riders may also enjoy riding the heavier tension springs as they will, as will heavier riders, provide more return to center for additional power out of the turns.

Suggested spring weights:
Black (Light Tension): 0Lbs to 180Lbs
Red (Medium Tension): 180Lbs to 210Lbs
White (Heavy Tension): 210Lbs to 280Lbs
