Need some bushing help please (I know I'm late today, I'll re-ask tomorrow if I don't get any replies)
New rider here, 260 pounds. Been riding a Landyachtz Switch 40 with stock bushings. I guess the bushings are just too soft for my weight, because they started making some strange popping noises, getting stuck in a "squished"position, not rebounding, etc. Seemed to happen regardless of how tight or loose I have the kingpin.
Went to the local skate shop and told them what was going on, they recommended these: http://www.amazon.com/INDEPENDENT-BUSHINGS-Standard-Cylinder-Skateboard/dp/B00NPC9CCC?ie=UTF8&keywords=Independent%20standard%2094a%20bushings&qid=1464577192&ref_=sr_1_2&sr=8-2
These are definitely harder bushings, however I don't like to have the kingpin really tight, I like to be able to turn and I don't do anything over 15 mph really. When I loosen these bushings to the point it feels right, I actually get a rattle from the cap. My weight compresses them down far enough that there is a small gap for the cap to rattle around in.
So can I get some recommendations from you guys? I want something that will stand up to my weight without malfunctioning, but soft enough (or the correct shape maybe?) that I can still get full range of motion for turns.
