| So when I bought wides from BrokenKnuckle FB's, I didn't realize that their bushings were for looser trucks. I ride 100% tight, so the rubber bushings that came with it ripped almost instantly. Any ideas for replacements? I'm choosing between FlatFace User Bushings (most durable FF's) and FlatFace Teflon's (squishy, but most people complain that their too tight  ). Thanks  |

| If you ride 100% tight why not just use tech deck plastic bushings? |

Tried it out, unexpectedly decent. But what I've noticed with this before is that they start loosening after a few flips (it might be my bolts or pivot cups, tho) |

| FF Teflon bushings are hard but still allow you to turn. |

| To fix the whole loosening of the bolts for the TD bushings just get your hands on some lockbolts From brr and you'll never have to worry about them loosening on you again. |

| Since I fitted the Teflon bushings onto my Indy wides I haven't had an issue with the but coming loose at all, and the kingpin doesn't dig in and scratch boxes and rails like they used to with the stock tuning as these are bigger so take more space up on the kingpin.
They're tight, but you still have control and the trucks still lock into grinds well enough too.
At £2 a set that's not bad.
Also, if you could get a set of stock BRT bushings those would be fine as well. |
