i must be the only person that things Riptides make Indys and Thunders worse. More spongey feeling, less firm snap back to center. if anyone wants my Indy cups DM me and I'll drop them in an envelope for ya
In Thunders, didn't like how they felt (also can't abide using barrel bushings in them either); however, in Indys, riptides are sooo good, they accentuate that smooth long turn indy has.
Dear god this bushing is killing me any idea to fix this? Flat washers work?
Firstly, having three pairs of ATGs, I've never had this happen, stock or otherwise.
Secondly, get rid of the Tensor [top] bushing(s) if you want to turn/have responsive trucks; while 90a they feel harder, and that top bushings design really limits this trucks ability to turn. Throw in Bones med or soft, NO washers and you're set.
Lastly, with a hard bottom/soft top combo you've slowed the trucks ability to return to center quickly (this is why ACE come soft bottom, hard top as it provides a deep ability to turn (bottom/boardside) with a fast snap back to center (top/roadside). Bones soft bottom/med top is really good in these trucks; since you are running indy blacks, a med bones bottom, hard top would do ya (or just get a harder indy top).
