Can you buy bones washers by themselves? Using with stock bushings better off?

I would say anything 14-14.38 would be a good wheelbase with venture depending on preference of course. Any higher than that would be crazy long! I have every model of venture except the hollows but I’m sure they are great. Been banging raw ventures and titaniums in my 2 current setups. I’m also on 8-8.25 like you so venture is great trust me

Using with stock bushings better off?[close]the other dude above a few posts kind of answered the solo washer question. i personally like the feeling of the stock bushings as opposed to fully going with the bones set. one thing worth noting is that i did have to tighten my trucks after i swapped. when i was riding the bushings totally stock i was maybe 2 turns from the kingpin being flush, once i put the bones washer on, i tightened them up to actually be flush

I got the 5.6 for my 8 board and next board i have is a primitive 14 wb, 8.125. Im really really crious and OCDed about this. Mayby should i have bought 5.2. Im thinking of mayby grind down my axels on the 5.6 just a tiny tiny bit so they fit 8 boards better and 8.125. If there is room for it with the wheels going on with the nuts all the way in. Wouldnt do it myself, i would go to some blacksmith or ask my dad he knows how to do these things right. Or its a bad idéa? Ocourse i wouldnt do it right away would skate with them alot first. Sorry for moaning about this everywere on the forum. Truck nerd and only have OCD when it comes to skateboard. Edit: I forget to say that i dont have the trucks yet, ordered from Germany or mayby it was UK. And im a bit afraid they wont come anyway soon cause of corona and shit. But i think they said on their webside skatedeluxe. Dont worry stay at home we still send out products, but mayby they ment only in their country.

Lotta good venture threads on tactics 20%off right now, go cop!
I've had 2 sessions on my 6.1's. Dead stock.I agree with Rob that they're like a toss up between Indy and Thunder. I really like the stability, while still being able to turn where I want for the most part. And to me, they don't wheelbite as much as Thunder. Granted, I don't skate tranny at all.
I wish venture would make an all hollow truck with the standard team baseplates.
