Riptide Longboard Bushings 0.75" (19.05mm)

Bushings are cast from polyurethane and determine the steering behavior of your trucks. They are extremely important and easy to upgrade.

Here at Longboard Love, we carry the largest selection of shapes and hardness levels.

Tall Barrels offer more lean than standard 0.6" bushings and are often used in higher end precision trucks such as Bear Kodiaks, and Zealous Trucks.

Getting the correct height of bushing is crucial to the geometry of your truck performing as it should. The board-side (bottom) bushing is especially important since it affects how the pivot nose sits in the pivot cup. The wrong height can lead to the pivot nose not touching the cup, binding against it, or other serious issues, especially in RKP trucks. The height of the Road-Side (top) bushing is more determined by kingpin length. 

KranK™ Formula: Performance Under Pressure

Our highest rebound formula to date, KranK is designed specifically to change under pressure and is controlled by the amount of clamp pressure you subject it to when tightening the kingpin nut!

The effective range of control is from barely snug for the loosest feel to 2 full turns for the tightest feel. KranK will turn the same or less than the same durometer of other brands which is also a departure from APS and WFB.

As for washers, flat washers work great with this compound, but for the greatest control and range of this performance feature, use cupped, precision flat or precision cupped washers.
