yeah i just goggled the ks scimitar and that came up, im still waiting for it to arrive
stock randall bushings and OUST moc7 bearings ive never heard of these but they had them on the KS site so i bought em
if you get new bushings, get pretty stiff ones. but make sure the front ones are stiffer than the back ones, makes carving soooooo much easier and smoother. i ride a landyachtz dropcarve with ltd edition pink randalls and seismic speedvent wheels.
what kind do you recommend im using this for commuting and my town has HUGE hills that i can go down every day after school
im about 135lbs 5'6 and still growing.
doesn't really make that much of a difference, i'd suggest you get a kit though that has all the different colors, so you can mix em up. you could have like two different colors in the front and two different ones in the back, and you can keep switching them out until you find a set up that you like. just gotta keep trying new combinations until you find one that makes riding for you feel better and smoother. it's all about preference. y'know?
barrell or cone does matter. alot. Double barrels provide a more stable, less turney ride for downhill. Barrel cone combo provides more carve and nice stability. Double cone setups are super carvey but not stable at speed. Also "the colors" correspond to the Durometer of the bushings. Lower durometer means softer while a higher durometer means harder.
