I knew it!
I had that exact method pictured in my head, same tools and everything.
Thanks Vlad!
Now, off to buy some strikers.

The cost of making one ABEC11 bushing (including my day-job weekend pay and all the applicable depreciation, material and gas/traveling expenses) is a little over $30. I’d rather keep my day job.

These bushings are a great alternative to waiting for your Radikal bushings’ order for over a month and getting half of what you paid for… in an overnight Federal Expensive envelope.

Also, Stims are hard to find and aren’t wide enough for my trucks.

Hey Vlad,

It looks like your missing the opportunity to start a new cottage industry.

I deafinatly need some of those to match my grippins! To repeat Justin's question, how'd you make those?

How exactly did you make those Vlad?
I need some new bushings for my trackers and i love the abec11 urethane.

One 77mm Striker makes 4 Radikal or 5 Tracker/Indy size bushings.

Taller = greater compression range, ABEC11 urethane = superb rebound, green = color harmony with your favorite slalom wheels.
