Orangatang Knuckles Longboard Skateboard Truck Bushings (Set of 4)

The unique gumdrop shape of the roadside bushing creates such a smooth, even, natural turning sentation that is quite breathtaking. I highly recommend you give them a shot!Edits:I weigh 135-140 lbs and use the purple knuckles on:- Paris V2 trucks [on Loaded Tarab flex 2]- Bear Grizzly (181mm, 52degree) trucks [on Landyachtz Hollowtech Stratus]The knuckles do not appear to be compatible with Atlas trucks

I have an icarus with paris trucks and caguama wheels. I am new to longboarding and am focusing on cruising, carving, and learning to pump. I am 135 lbs.At first, I bought the yellow nipples because many sites advised that it was the right durometer for my weight and riding intentions. But they were too hard. When i tried to turn, they would fight back and force me to center, actually making me lose balance and fall off the board.Then i tried orange nipples, per the company's weight chart. They were much better. I didnt have to fight to turn, but they would push me back to center before i was ready. I wasn't done with the turn or carve. I was just rebounding back at the bushing's will. I could keep my balance and learn. But I still didnt have 100% control.Third time is a charm - I bought the knuckles in orange, something I didnt do from day 1 because i was afraid it would be too turny for a n00b. And they were perfect. They arent too turny. I can stay on the board. I dont get wobbles going fast. When i turn or carve, I dont return to center until I want them to. Freaking perfect. I hand-tightened them as much as i could, then did one full 360 turn with a skate tool. Since they are paris trucks, I ended with no thread, just flush kingpin with nut, easy to make consistent. I have only been skating for 2 weeks.Lesson learned -1. stock bushing suck2. you have to try 2 or 3 sets of bushings, diff durometers and shapes, to find the right one. and its worth the money you waste. It makes the biggest difference. And there is no harm in having some extra bushings as spares and experiments in the future.3. cone and barrel shape is not too unstable for n00bs. in fact, its standard.

It’s not often that I will admit something is better than Nipples... but I guess there is a first for everything. The knuckles are much more responsive than the Nipples and have a better turn radius. However, they are not as stable. I do not recommend these for downhill.

I have tried the both in Paris trucks and Calibers. On both, I preferred these to the stock bushings. They give life to sometimes stiff Caliber trucks and make for smooth, controlled carves. As far as Paris trucks are concerned, they help dampen out Paris a little bit so that the carves are less wild and smoother. I really want to try these on some Bear trucks, but haven't gotten around to it yet. I would definitely recommend giving these bushings a try.

Turns so good you can't stop turning! With the bushings on tight, maybe too tight, the bushings keep "oozing" out if the metal retainer so the trucks stay stuck in a turning position. If I loosen them they slide out of the metal retainer and get caught on the lip and stay stuck in the turning position also.... I'm pretty sure I installed them correctly, I even checked the photos on here to make sure.

So I'm new to longboarding. My board came with double barrels that were pretty hard. This is a night and day difference. The turns are crisp and bouncy. I can turn way better now. I have a greater range and at the end of the range the washers help spring it back to center. I have to learn to balance and control the board still, but these are a great step in getting me going!

It's amazing on my dropthrough dervish!Honestly, it's one of the bounciest bushings i've ever used, carving, pumping, and simply cruising has never been soo fun

Put on my V2 duel+ boosted. They're awesome, super surfy carves. I have a natural fear of transitioning to toe edge at speed and these help initiate the transfer and get me committed.

Fit Paris truck's and the majority of eboard trucks with long kingpins. I have hit 30+ mph and they have given me no speed wobbles even when pretty loose on my cruiser board. Would be even more responsive on shorter more concave boards. Carvey bushings that do what they're supposed to.

Nice and turny ! A little on the pricey side but probably worth it.

Highly recommended, great improvement for slower speeds over the nipples

i bushing in sè per sè sono buoni, morbidi al punto giusto, ma cercate un'altro rivenditore.

Reçu dans les temps fonctionnel, rien à redire.
