New bushings and pivot cups are the fastest way to change a truck's performance. Either making an old truck like new or changing the way a truck skates. Truck squeaking is commonly caused by pivot cups and bushings. The urethane used on Riptide pivots is self lubricating which means the cups do not dry out and squeak. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe standard Carver C2.4 truck bushings are cone and barrel. Our standard cone bushings are a good replacement. If you are unsure of what duro then buy the Krank cones in a softer duro. As you tighten the nut it hardens the bushing, so you can use the kingpin nut to customise the bushing to how you like it. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIf you like a quick return to centre for fast pumping and carving then Riptide APS Barrels, you you are looking for a more fluid deep lean in your carves then use Riptide WFB bushings. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEvery product on this page is compatible and works with your Carver trucks.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2020-10-03T20:10:06+10:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"pivot_carver-cx4"},{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"bushing_cone"},{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"bushing_barrel"},{"column":"type","relation":"equals","condition":"Bearing Lube \u0026 Cleaners"}],"published_scope":"web","image":{"created_at":"2020-10-03T20:10:04+10:00","alt":null,"width":200,"height":121,"src":"\/\/hopkin.com.au\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/carver-cx4-web.png?v=1601719805"}},{"id":399573700,"handle":"hardware","title":"Hardware","updated_at":"2024-04-27T20:40:11+10:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2016-10-29T10:09:00+11:00","sort_order":"alpha-asc","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"type","relation":"equals","condition":"Hardware"},{"column":"type","relation":"equals","condition":"Bearings"},{"column":"type","relation":"equals","condition":"Bearing Lube \u0026 Cleaners"},{"column":"type","relation":"equals","condition":"Bushings"},{"column":"type","relation":"equals","condition":"Griptape"},{"column":"type","relation":"equals","condition":"Nuts and Bolts"},{"column":"type","relation":"equals","condition":"Rails"},{"column":"type","relation":"equals","condition":"Risers"},{"column":"type","relation":"equals","condition":"Skate Tools"},{"column":"type","relation":"equals","condition":"Washers"}],"published_scope":"web"},{"id":15724544039,"handle":"new-arrivals","title":"New arrivals","updated_at":"2024-04-27T20:40:16+10:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2017-11-15T21:46:04+11:00","sort_order":"created-desc","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"variant_price","relation":"greater_than","condition":"0"}],"published_scope":"web"},{"id":473694980,"handle":"riptide","title":"RipTide","updated_at":"2024-04-27T20:40:03+10:00","body_html":null,"published_at":"2017-10-23T13:24:21+11:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":null,"disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"vendor","relation":"equals","condition":"RipTide"}],"published_scope":"web"},{"id":399574084,"handle":"bushings","title":"Truck Bushings","updated_at":"2024-04-27T20:40:11+10:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2016-10-29T10:10:00+11:00","sort_order":"alpha-asc","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"type","relation":"equals","condition":"Bushings"}],"published_scope":"web"}]
APS stands for Animated Polymer System, and as the name implies, this compound is very lively and offers high rebound with lots of control and lean. For the same durometer, the APS will turn 10% to 15% more than the same durometer of other brands. In addition, the APS does not change much when you tighten the kingpin nut past snug. RipTide recommend tightening to the point where it is difficult to turn the bushing in the bushing seat by hand. Use a flat washer for more resistance and a cupped washer for even higher resistance.
SPECS:
Two cones 0.58" (Road-Side or 2nd Bushing) and 0.65" (Board-Side or 1st Bushing)
APS rides a couple of points softer than they test, so order accordingly
Hard durometer bushings (95a - 92.5a) are for riders over 80kg
Medium durometer bushings (90a - 87a) are for medium-weight riders & those looking for a lot of turn. Expect to feel the truck snap back and turn tighter.
Soft durometer bushings (85a) are for light-weight riders & those looking for a super surfy setup.
