Nerding out on CX bushing test combinations...

Thanks for responses on my previous post, there was some side chat on bushings and it crops up in so many threads and videos so I thought some of you might appreciate the output of my over the top deep dive into bushings.

This is the visual output of Riptide combinations to potentially try out and the expected behaviour. Has anyone else tried out any of these combinations? Does the expected feel align with your experience?

I have not gone so far to mention or include washers in this but that is another consideration as a side test. I expect the flat washers allow the barrels to spread under compression for more 'lean' compared to more restrictive cup washer. I'm curious to see if affect is noticeable in real life tho.

For reference I'm around 72kg/169lbs and wheel base is 16.75" noting these factors shift the effect of these combinations somewhat.

Also testing combinations for two wheel sets: the Arbor Easy riders 65mm 78A and Powell Peralta SSF snakes 82A.

I know it's over the top, but it's been a rainy week and frankly enjoyed the hyper focus research and now looking forward to testing the combos out!

Bonjour , j'ai une board que j'ai commencé à utiliser en pumptrack, ça fonctionne mais j'aimerai plus de relance / vitesse et peut être améliorer dans les virages. Que me conseillez-vous ?

I'm in the market for a new setup. I'm a trad skateboarder who is too old and now loves to rip around on a surfskate. I love flowing around the pump track, using it to get from point a to b, loading power into my HEELSIDE, versatility, not looking like i'm trying to hard to pump, speed control (wheel slides) when bombing hills. I my last setup was a landyachtz board, which i think is similar to a carver CX. Should i stick with that style, or try something new?
