Venture 2020

[j....soy.....]

I think I’m running bones hard on bottom, broken in mediums top….seems to work fine.  I like the conical, no washer , gives the truck a tiny bit of flop if you really need it. 

Bought a black long sleeve…..

[Slugboi22]

might be a silly question but what size flat washer would you get for 5.6s? I’ve been neglecting going to a hardware store after work and would like to pick some up soon here…

not silly but id bring a roadside bushing to the store. i have different flat washers that fit flush on different brand bushings.

[intendedreceivers]

Inner diameter for washers needs to be 3/8 in. for the kingpin, and the the outer diameter should be 3/4 in. (Small cones/top bushings) or 7/8-1in. (Thicker cones—like Thunder, or standard barrels/bottom bushings).

[munchbox]

try and find bones flat washers
see them in skateshops spare parts bins all the time

Any recommendations on bushings for 5.6 v-hollows?
Smaller lightweight person here, like to ride on the looser side.
Tried the loose kit, was great first but crumbled quick.
Bones never last me long enough, feel great at the beginning, but then just loose all stability.
Currently on Indy conical soft, but the feel squirly after some months (+ the current heat).

don't think bushings matter per sub-type of truck, but you could do 88a supercush if they are around at the moment

Supercush/DLX Bait & Tackle 88A are my favorite, but honestly, if you’re light and you like loose, I think the newer stock Indy bushings (started maybe late-2021?) might be even better. I feel like there are enough people out there who don’t ride the stock Indy bushings that you can always find a set somewhere.

90a indy busings are pretty much the same.
i recommend 88a indy w/ flat top washer

[l1ll1ll1]

thx for the tips!
didn't think the type of venture truck matters, but sometimes people on this message board have interesting ideas I'd never think of... so I put it in.
Gonna check for Indy bushings

[mstuntbless]

For all of you venture junkies…does the baseplate stick out past the wheels so you get that nice nose/tail slide lock in like on Indy? Or is it more or a thunder situation where the wheels are hitting the ledge?

you lock, then it gets more and more slid away. like on indys.

Fuck yes, they stick out even more than an Indy IMO. Was skating a crusty street ledge today and I had no problems with slides, the guys rocking Indys were getting stuck pretty hard.

Super weird coincindence...
Just found a set of brand new 88a Indy bushings in my spare parts box, but they are the barrel ones (so standard Indy form, one cylinder one conical). Gonna give those a try when I change my wheels and have to touch my trucks anyway.
Did you mean the 88a Indy conicals or cylinder?

5.2 low here, cylinder and nut flush(was), haha
flat washer helps too, when maxing out turing, std washer clipped to the inner side of the tuck (you might some scratches), and flat washer won't bite into top bushing.

^thats good to hear. I skated thunders for a few years…then switched to Indy. I like the Indy grind and baseplate slide but they are so heavy. I was thinking about pulling the trigger on some 5.6 Yuto forged hollows…thinking they might be a good middle ground between the 2

The 88A Indy aftermarkets have a notoriously shitty reputation. Worst bushings anyone’s ever skated. The stock 90A Indy bushings are looser feeling than the stock 90A DLX bushings. They ain’t the same.

is there any green coloured aftermarket bushings?

White Indy super soft. Cylinder style.

Those are the next best to the loose trucks kit. They don't crumble at all. I've ran the same set for 3 winters off and on. still looking good.

There's a few others pals who rock um.

Last year I was in the lowering kit. They are crumbly but it still feels good.

Damn, thanks!
Have the feeling these temperature changes in central europe fuck up bushings so quick. Hate changing them, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

[LebowskisRug]

Nah DLX bushings kinda crumble. Myself and my Thunder friends also have issues with crumbling and splitting, but for some reason NHS and Ace bushings don't do this.

I rocked the white super softs during the winter as well and can recommend it. BUT when it's not freezing or even hot, those are almost like having no bushings at all. Bones mediums work all year (until they explode for no reason)

[j....soy.....]

Is it commonly the top or bottom of bones which go?  Top right?  Wouldn’t a move be to mix them up ie. venture loose top, bones med or soft on bottom?  It’s not for everyone and I don’t weigh anything but I prefer conicals, it’s just more responsive…..

[KidCarl]

Has anyone on venture 5.6's replaced the kingpin with a hollow? I want to give it a shot but don't want to buy too long of a kingpin.
