Hi Brad, appreciate this innovation! Any chance of getting proto set in Australia… maybe @MBS can help. I am about 110kg no bindings running 35-30 but planning on wedging back - do you reckon 96?

Sure, I can get some to AU, please PM me your details

I think an important consideration for people that are looking at these.
If you have several set ups, riding Singularitys may very well suck the joy out of those other boards…
I just rode my last set up with regular channel trucks and it kinda feels like hot garbage…
So buyer beware!!!

Sorry…not sorry, Thank You!

Could we get singularities for the tall bushing trucks like 3dservisas finality, every Kaly, the Onsra Velar and the vast majority of @Trampa s?
I think if you leave some extra tolerance in places one size can fit all.
I could even donate a near new cnc 3dservisas finality truck in exchange for some bushings later down the line.

Adapting to existing designs is always tricky and with @MBS cooperation by sending me .step files of the components helped a lot as well as having a set of the trucks. Sending the 3dservisas finality truck would help but I would like to see detailed pictures first to see if it is even a possible adaptation. If the offer also extends to Trampa and Onsra, we would be interested. I do not think Kaly is a good candidate due to the small market size and they are gone.

There are no single matrix II prototypes laying around are there?
My remaining channels are the 3DS that are like Matrix II?
No, that setup required too much additional hardware and over time was not dependable.

I will convince myself to get a third set of Matrix III soon enough…
I’m out on the mountain board tonight and the freedom you get with these bushings is not even comparable to my channels experience from earlier…
It’s so loose… It’s so magical…

Great. I think these photos should help let me know if you want any more or some dimensions.
I don’t think you will easily make bushings that fit some of these trucks but not others and there are a good couple kaly’s still in use by owners who modify them.
very late edit:
So i have also been in touch with Brad , more than once, about these bushings. I needed MORE of them !
I received 2 deliveries now , hassle free to Europe. 
Had to pay like 16$ extra handling, no prob because i really wanted to get on this train 
I have two decks (mountainboard split angles) , one riding small harder wheels 125mm Radiums, the other 200mm pneumatics. I ride at max speed of around 30mph since i got older and wiser (actually more because of hospital visits)
I have asked Brad for some more sets so i could experiment more.
So far i’ve learned that for me a low riding position in comparison to a higher riding position differs in the desire for a more stable (higher deck) or a more carvy truck nice (lower deck).
I’ve tried pretty many setups this last month.
93A, the softer bushings are so very carvy. Super nice. Got B on front and D on back now.
D at the back because i like the back truck stable. Both decks now with this setup.
I noticed for me that B in front is best , when wishing a good turn-in.
Tried both decks with 2 durometers ; soft 93A durometer (Purple) + harder 96A durometer (Grey)
The lower deck is going to have the 93A as standard from now. Super carvy, really fun.
The higher deck has 93A shape B in front, back shape D now with pretty much preload on them. Still very carvy but turned more preload on them for a bit more stability.
The harder 96A Grey B in front is still super able on turning, less twitchy i guess. Also i had the 96A grey C2 in the back, i really like the C2. Not sure if the higher deck will stay with the 93A softer ones, because i tend to put pretty much preload on them for them to feel “good”. I might as well go for the harder 96A’s , not sure of that yet… I would then def go for a hard C2 on the back truck, and a hard B in front.
I had the hard 96A shape D on the back truck, had to really lean hard on these to make small corners. This one would be real good for going fast but not so for carving. Or at least you will have a much harder time cornering at slower speeds.
I’m not done yet with trying out different setups… I have not even tried the riser-options. I may try to get a 5* less angle on the back , not too crazy about angled risers though…
Thanks Brad for sending these nice bushings. Love the ride on these

Took my set of 90A I just got from @RipTideSports for a first ride yesterday. Went with B front C2 rear, I’m 175 lbs.
Felt great as all the other reviews have said so def keeping these on my MIII, but I am curious - I went up to about 3.5-4mm gap of preload on them before it felt right to me. Is that a healthy amount for longetivity of the bushings or should I be thinking of stepping up a durometer?

Front and back preload? If so, going up would be a good idea. Also try C2 up front and D in back which will likely require less preload.

Yeah it was both - so would the next one up be 93A? Sounds like I should get a set of those.

That would likely be appropriate.

I’m curious to see a picture of your set up too.
Do you rock bindings?

No bindings, it is an analog downhill Lacroix Prototipo deck with the MBS wedged front and de-wedged back. I have been meaning to power it up, just haven’t gotten there yet

I’ll try to take some pictures sometime soon - on this first ride I wasn’t using bindings and it felt good. I had just changed to a Kaly deck with those ramped foot wing / gas pedals which was helpful for that too. I still have both sides symmetrically angled at 30.
I do have to say I’m very new at MTB and not pushing speeds anywhere near what I see on here. I’m trying to tune to crawl around the woods and up hills.

I’m not a guy that is into this for going fast.
I like esk8 for Mellow rides and carving.
I consider 30mph the very top of the scale.
I probably don’t quite get up to 30 often.
So my experience is different from those here chasing big speeds.
I also ride with no bindings.
It can take some getting used to how loose the Singularitys can feel…
I would definitely suggest considering an angled riser in the back to split angles.
I feel that helps a lot with overall stability.

Thanks - yeah I was having some bad crashes with the bindings - I’ve never ridden a snowboard either so I don’t have much experience with them / felt unnatural - so I wanted to get off them as much as possible.
Also I’m coming from loose street setups so the rides I was taking on this setup when it had Trampa trucks with barrels before felt insanely stiff comparitively. This is a huge step up.
What angles do you use? I want to try that soon yeah.
