On a full se with some venture hi.
Curious what pairings you guys have had that has worked well
Using a flat washer on ALL (to prevent binding) and with Riptide Pivot cups:
I tried:
Stock purples
Bones: Medium and Soft
Indy 88a (red) conical and barrel bottom
Ace low tops / regular bottoms (remember ACE are dual duro
The ACEs bushing seriously outperformed everything else, no questions. They made the Venture swerve a more surfy swerve and the hope is that with these washers to give them an even more responsive feel on top of the dual duro mechanic.

damn those array washers look great. i really want to try a set
Waiting in the wings for either some 6.1 Ventures or these fabled Indy Mids (and ACE bushings as noted above): Riptides, the muir skate washers and those Acer racing low profile Ti nuts (FWIW the KP nuts are 2g lighter each (and about 2mm lower than regs), axle nuts are about 1g lighter than regs but much thinner, with these you can really stack the speed rings to push those wheels out).
can i get someone to mail me a set of array washers from muir? i checked and its going to cost $97 american to ship them up to canada. if anyone is willing to hook it up i'd be greatful.
97 dollars is insane.
I was thinking more board truck combos but now I almost want to buy a set of these washers
its only because they dont have other options to ship to canada, their best response was to sign up for one of those out of country po: box services. if any pals are willing to be the middle man ill pay for shipping, just wanting to see if these end my truck madness.
I got you. DM me.
Fwiw..
Array washers are 1.5mm thick, right?
That's 0.059" and should be thicker than normal cup washers. I can measure later..
Also not good to use Ti nuts on Ti threads (axles, kingpins). There's a chance of galling and damaging the threads.
The low lateral loads involved should make this a non-issue but thought I'd mention it.
Normally the thing to do would be use anti-seize but that would make the nyloc less effective.
Since we apparently geek the the same..
I was thinking of spacers instead of 3 speedrings on the inside..

It's just an easy site to search and they have pics/dimensions.
Look for a local industrial hardware store that'll sell retail without an account.
