I come to you all in the truck thread seeking advice.
I've moved back on to some thunder 151s, that I was running bones in before, but I'd like to move to some cylinders for stability. What bushings would suit the thunders best? Thinking about some Indy barrels for simplicity.
ace bottoms with a shaved down stock top has been sooo good for my 151s. not as simple as just buying a set and throwing them in but it was well worth my 15 minutes tinkering around. coming off the stock conicals, i was able to set up for tricks without all the wobble and still have them loose enough to get that surfy turn that feels thunder like with a hint of ace.
there is a noticeable balance deadzone at first but it works perfectly once the bushings are broken in.
The Ace bottom bushings are a magic bullet for me. They feel how a soft bushing should feel, but never does. I have 5 pairs of trucks and they are all better with an ace on bottom. I don't think they even realize what they have. I use them in my Krux and if it weren't for the bushings I'd probably skate Ace or Thunder.
Notice how no one ever talks about swapping the bushings on Ace anymore?
Unfortunately the sizing is a little weird, so I'd suggest anyone just get one of each type of ace bushings and figure out what size combo is best in your trucks.
