Big List of Bushing Specifications (add to it!)

[Slim]

Here's the ongoing evolution of Slim's master compilation of bushing durometers, begun in 2005. It's changed over time as bushing formulas and color-codes have changed, too. If you're sure of a correction, update or addition, please post it in a format we can just paste right in (and we will).

Here's a photo that shows the size, shape and duro for Radikal bushings.

That's a good question! Mile High Mark, are you reading? Do I remember you have a durometer gauge? Got any RTX black hourglass bushings handy?

They feel harder than white khiros but softer than blue bones. But I don't know how much of that is due to their durometer and how much to the hourglass shape making them deflect more than a big barrel bushing would.

You won't believe this, but I get 82-84a. Part of the problem is the shape, as the pin on the gauge is very close to the edge of the bushing, no matter where you measure. Also, the ambient temp in my basement is cooler than the temp at which you ideally measure the duro. But, to be honest, I have a hunch that the hourglass shape makes as much of a difference as the duro.

Thanks Mark.

I've found the blue bones to be longer lasting and better feeling (return to center) anyway so recommend them over the black hourglass. (not that i'm an expert or anything but just a personal opinion).

[Momona Boe]

Cool, thanks guys! I really like the black hourglasses, but I wanna try other bushings too. This gives me a starting point at least

[EBasil]

Holey Trucks, red bushings: 84a

[EBasil]

Email from Khiro Bob, today, lists durometers on his products as:

(1) White - X-Soft 73-A

(2) Blue - Soft 85-A

(3) Red - Med. Soft 90-A

(4) Yellow - Med. Hard 92-A

(5) Black - Hard 95-A

[Captain Matt]

i asked Dom from motion longboards he said the stock yellow moog bushings are 88a

[ChrisChaput]

The green ones come in 75a, 78a, 81a, 84a, 88a, 92a. I'm currently working on shapes and sizes...

[SpeedDemon13]

SUUUWEEEEET! I just posted saying something like having abec-11 sell bushings There def. gonna be the **** just cuz of that wonderful green thane.

[bean-a-reano]

I think I remember Chris posting that the reason he hasn't done bushings is he wants them to come out on Liquid trucks. No sense in making a product that improves the competitions product. Especially before you have yours in the market place.

Makes perfect sense i guess......

Revenge Trucks:

--Black: 92/93a

[weasel on fire]

any word on the tracker hourglass bushings in black? they feel about the same as the blue khiros but im not sure plus the shape throws off the duro feeling

[jimb]

do we have numbers for the indy bushing


INDY:
Red ?
Orange 86a
Black?

indy stock orange are softer than my stock randalls and my red khiro so 86a look like the right durometer for me
