    Default Give me your DH Bushing Set-Ups

    Ok so I see threads that post their DH bushing set ups but one question always comes to mind when I read them. What is your weight? So I hope this thread can help out people looking for bushing set ups with rider weight in mind.

    Please state:

    Bushing Brand and type.
    Bushing Duro
    How your bushings are set up.
    Truck Brand
    Baseplate Degree
    Your Board.
    Your Weight.

    Lastly give a short description of how it rides for you. (i.e. drifty, rails corners, grips, etc.)

    I'm bored.. so here it goes.

    Front: Randal 50
    Bushing top: Venom Yellow Elim 85a
    Bushing Bottom: Venom Red Barell 90a
    Flat Washers

    Back : Randal 42
    Bushing top: Venom Red Elim 90a
    Bushing Bottom: Venom green barell 93a
    Flat Washers

    Comet Loki Flush
    155 lb

    Rails corners when tighened down, I can still throw standies in when loose. Honestly matched with the perfect wheels (70mm 82a Offset Raceforms), I will not be changing the setup for a very long time, or until i get some of the new venom 87a.

    for cruising and tiny hills:
    orange (79a) khiros barrels all around
    flipped paris trucks

    for dh or anything over 30:
    blue (85a) khiro barrels all around
    flipped paris trucks
    ive been toying with orange and blue combos

    100lb
    flat washers all around

    fairly big dead spot when loose so ive been riding oranges tightened and it has more rebound. havent tried many other bushings but elims are way more reboundy and paris stocks are really dead feeling but i think thats becuase i havent broken them in enough. corners really nice and has very progresive compression/energy return.
    ly spud
    i think paris plate angles are 40*?

    Hey Montesano thanks a lot for the post.

    Ok Folks Please post your set up the way Montesano did. It is nice, clear and straight to the point.

    It's stable in a fast straight bomb but the Venoms are very responsive when leaning into a turn, a huge improvement over Khiros of the similar duro.

    i usually run my trucks loose when im just riding around or skating hills 35 and under. When i tightened the trucks i was able to take it up to 47 mph, very stable at those speeds and responsive. I was able to take the tightest line through a turn without drifting out one bit.

    By no means the final setup, but currently:

    Front and back: Crail 45*
    Bushing top: Red venom formula cone from a paris truck
    Bushing Bottom: Venom Red Barrel 90a
    Flat Washer on top, no bottom washer

    not the worlds greatest setup, I should be getting sabres soon enough and I predict double barrels.

    Front:
    Venom red barrel bottom
    Pumpkin orange top

    Back:
    Green Venom bottom
    Pumpkin orange top

    These were on Bear 840s (40degrees). They are currently on Randal r2's 42 degrees

    Board: Rayne Demonseed

    Weight ~220

    When I had this setup with the Bears, it was super steady and super smooth when carving. Of course it's drifty due to the double drop, but it's a predictable slide. WIth the Randals, the carve isn't as smooth, but it's still a stable downhill board.
