looks like the krux bottoms are about 2-3 mm taller than the stock venture purples. is this going to throw the geometry off at all? they seem pretty tight with the nut flush but i can't actually skate em today because it's been raining on and off.
DLX supercush, indy aftermarkets, and doh-dohs fit Ventures perfectly. There's tons of options. If you want to pack out some krux ones though, go for it, it shouldn't be that bad.
I wanted to try something different and it seems like the krux cushions get a lot of love on here. i'm curious if the formula is really any different than the indy aftermarkets.
Picked up some aftermarket indy 90a cylinders today, they're about 1-3mm shorter than the krux, whereas the indy conicals are the same height as krux, not sure why the aftermarket cylinders are shorter than the conicals...and the conical tops are shorter than the aftermarket cylinder tops...also, the stock indy cylinders are the same height as the krux. Anyway...
Been running my 144 Indys with bones mediums (no washers) and 144 thunders with 88 conical indys (and bones washers top and bottom), skated each for a week straight.
The Thunders really feel great with these bushings, probably the most dialed I've been able to get them, but for now I'm switching back to indys as I've been skating a 90% transition park and I've come to find that what I really like about thunders is the reset to center whereas the indys, with conicals, feel a bit wobblier on return, so I'm trying out 90a cylinders and 88a tops (with washers) for a bit more stability.
