$5.98The Story
- SET OF 4 BUSHINGS
- 2 Bottom Barrels, Two Top Barrels & Four Flat Washers!
- SEE "COMPATIBILITY" INFO BELOW! Nipples do not work with Landyachtz Bears or Gullwing Chargers
- Intention: Designed to provide a lively and energetic ride, Nipples will revitalize any setup for carving, pumping, dancing, freestyle and freeride.
- Formula: Nipples are poured in our extremely high rebound Randy Urethane formula. We stumbled on this urethane a few years ago while testing ultra high rebound formulas for wheels, but we found this urethane to actually be too high rebound for a wheel urethane. Perfect for a bushing.
- Specs & Features: Outer diameter: 1 inch, Height (top): 0.56 inch, Height (bottom): 0.66 inch
- The bottom bushing carries most of the rider’s weight, so it is compressed more than the top bushing. The top bushing engages mostly when the rider leans in one direction to turn. To account for this difference in loading, we made the bottom bushing slightly taller than the top. Both top and bottom barrels are beveled on one edge for a better fit with large cupped washers (such as the stock parts on Paris and Tracker Racetrack trucks). However, we recommend flat washers in general.
- Hardness:
- The first release of Nipples will feature three hardness ratings: soft, medium, and hard. The reason we’ve chosen to use a relative hardness scale for our bushings is that Nipples feel and respond differently than many equivalently rated bushings, due to their dimensions. The Nipples feature a slightly larger-than-average diameter that is intended to provide more leverage against the hanger and more meaty volume to compress in every turn. Combined with a double barrel configuration, this allows for a predictable initiation and very consistent resistance throughout the hanger’s travel, even in softer durometers.
- Recommended weight ranges for lower speed (under 20 mph) riding are below. For faster riding, we recommend going harder.
- Soft (orange): 80-180 lbs / 35-85 kg
- Medium (purple): 160-230 lbs / 70-105 kg
- Hard (yellow): 200-270 lbs / 90-125 kg
- Compatibility: Nipple bushings fit Paris, Tracker Fasttrack, and Gullwing Charger II trucks. They are not compatible with Bears or Gullwing Chargers. Nipples work with Randal trucks, but they do not sit completely contained in the bushing seat. Since the Randal bushing seat is so low, however, it does not interfere with the performance of the bushings. They fit Caliber trucks, but the lean becomes very restricted past a certain point.
