Bushing Help

[PrettyPrinceofParties]

Hey I am new to Slalom and I am putting my first board together..
So far I have Strikers 66mm, Vectors, and a Flexdex 30v. All that is left are bushings. I am a 184 pound rider and I am wondering what bushing set up would be best for me.

First, you're going to need some wedging. At least 7* front and 7* de wedge rear. Then, I'd try some white and orange khiros in the front, and some red or yellow khiros in the back. If you want to go a little nicer, there are better bushings out there.

Alright. Thanks man.

Hey but what do you mean by 7* and what durometer should I get. Sorry if i don't know what i am talking about but i don't.

Ah. I mean seven degrees. Your best bet would be 14 degrees, or 2 khiro soft wedges under each truck. All wedges pointing towards the front of the board.

For the bushings, get some for the front in the 73-80a range. For the rear, 90-95a.

start by replacing your strikers with zig zags

ok I see thanks I knew about the bushing duro bit not the wedge duro. And do I have to I already have the strikers I got them on ebay way cheap and I am on a budget.

oh, never mind then but you will need to switch eventually

Edit: I like your buckethead quote!!!

sweet yeah I love me some buckethead but actually I just put up a post to trade or sell the strikers for zig zags 66mm but what is a good slalom duro
