Riptide Longboard Bushings 0.6" (15.24mm)

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. 

Barrels offer more stability than Cones and are often used for a broad range of skating disciplines depending on the skaters skill level and personal preference. 

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.

Performance Under Pressure - The KranK Formula has quite a bit of adjustability. You can tighten the kingpin nut up to two full turns after snug to 'harden' or 'loosen' the feel of the durometer.
Keep in mind that the rounded edge typically goes towards the hanger of the skateboard truck and should fit snugly into the bushing seat. If there is some slop, you can try flipping the bushing over so that the shaper edge is against the hanger. This will often remove most of the slop for larger bushing seats. 
Two Barrels can be used together, or you can mix and match Barrels with any other shapes.

 

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.
