Mounting a Chicago Longboards Toestop

[Gary in VA]

Figured out a way to mount a Chicago Longboards Toestop in a way that allows you to make an adjustment to it and not have it loose all the time. The order of the mounting is this. First the screw, a washer, the toestop, a washer, two locknuts. Over top of these locknuts you place a barrel bushing. The length of two locknuts is just shorter than the bushing so when you mount it it compresses the bushing before bottoming out on the top of the board. This creates friction between the bushing and the toestop. You can move it if you give it a good tug but you won't move it while placing your foot against it. Pics below.

Mounted.

Now the next question is what kind of barrel bushing works best?

A Radikal like on my Civ model?


Or this like on my Roadster? LOL

AAAAAAAHHHHHHH WHY ARE YOU USING A YELLOW STIM IN THAT FASHION!? The quality of the bushing under the toestop is irrelevant why not just use something crappy and use the good bushings for turning your boards well? I'll trade you a shitty bushing for that yellow stim if you arent gonna use it for real things.

Quit your whining. Has it ever occurred to you - that IS his shitty bushing?

Nice job Gary.
