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




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

Quote:
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

Softer bushings allow more lean, more turn, less rebound, harder bushings have more rebound and have a stiffer feel and ride.
