hello again fellow e-skaters I came to the forum for a weird question. So I’ve been looking at some bushings to buy recently and a weird idea came to mind. Is it possible to run different bushing ratings on the bottom set of the trucks rather then running all 4 on the same rating. I thought of this because I’ve been have speed wobble and i known then and there i had to get a stiffer bushings. but i didn’t want to lose the “surf” like feel. any info would be great
Totally! Do you have dkp?
i do not sadly i use calibar 2 trucks
No big deal, just wondering since you mentioned 4 bushings. I usually run soft/medium bushings at a 10 wedge up front on rkp weather it be esk8 or not. And then depeneding on the set up either a dewedge with stiff bushings or a wedge with soft bushings (speed vs carve). Also you could play around with cone bushings up front.
yeah mb on the wording but I will definitely try using wedges as i’m going for more of a “reliexed” feeling when riding. thanks for the help
Its pretty common to run higher duro boardside and softer roadside.
Brad at Riptide is pretty good with bushing recommendation in this thread.
Be sure to list all stats:weight/board/trucks/current bushings/what you’re looking for ride feel wise
will do thank you
To be specific I dig a 7 wedge front and rear with rkp its super surfy, almost like a hamboard.
