khiro bushings

**pat_11_5** · 07-12-2009 02:47 PM

I've decided to pick up some softer khiro bushings so my board will turn easier. I'm not sure what kind of bushings my board already has, i'm assuming there regular stock hard ones. Should I be picking up 73a, 79a, or 85a?

How much do u weigh? Im 130lbs and the blue 85a barrels work for me.

I'd say 85a would be good. It's pretty carvy for me and since mine are barrels, there is more rebound.

you can also mix barrel/cone, but I don't have much experience for that except for 85a khiro double barrels.

for your weight id stick to orange/blue khiros. double soft barrels feels great. look into venoms/retro/sabre if you feel like playing around a little more with choices.

What color are the barrels you have now? If they are the red ones then they are 90a. Blues will be good for your weight. Double barrel blues are fun. Nice and carvy but still have rebound. you can mix in an orange but they are really soft and might not feel too great.

i weigh 280 and i use the pre washers cones in blue

frankly bushing choice isnt really about weight, so much as application. you carving, pumping and ped slalom, then go with lite cone bushings. you taking anything with speed the lite double barrels. anything where extreme stability is necessary, then some medium to heavy double barrels.
