The WFB formula will have a white powder residue on the surface. This is a good thing and is expected! This formula has a unique lubrication added which does not bond with the urethane. Photographed products had been washed beforehand, so do not worry if your product arrives with a white powder on the surface.
WFB rides a couple of points softer than they test, so please order accordingly.
Keep in mind that the rounded edge goes towards the hanger of the skateboard truck and fits snugly into the bushing seat.
- WFB Formula - Longboard Barrel:
Don't be afraid to mix and match a softer durometer bushing into the Road-Side (Top) position with a harder durometer in the Board-Side (Bottom) position. This can provide additional stability while still allowing for some carve.
- Very Hard durometer bushings (95.5a) are typically for heavier riders or for riders looking for a very tight setup.
- Hard durometer bushings (93a) are typically for average weight riders and allow for a nice tight set-up with very little wobble.
- Medium durometer bushings (88a) are for medium weight riders & for those looking for a bit looser setup than the hard.
- Soft durometer bushings (83a - 78a) are for light-weight riders & those looking for a loose setup.
- Very Soft durometer bushings (73a - 68a) are designed for very light-weight or young riders but are also useful for those looking for a super loose setup (slalom).
