[Brian Gilbert]

hey guys whats up? mike ohm was nice enough to give me a green stimulator for my top bushing( when i say top i mean closest to the board, is that right?) and brian parsons gave me an old clear blue bones hardcore for the bottom. i was wondering what is the closest thing thats readily avalible, that would match these, i noticed gary fluit says khiro is real close to stims also which duro would i get to match the ones i have/my weight and hight. im 6ft 1 in, abot 180-185 lbs. any help would be awesome. later guys

Hey Brian,
Khiros are probably the closest thing to stims that are readily available right now. Though I think there are still a few places where stims can be found. The Radikal bushings are good too, though they need to be shaved down to fit in a standard truck.

It's hard to say which Khiro would most closely match your green stim since some green stims are 'soft' while other greens are 'medium'. I'd guess a blue or red khiro (barrel not insert). White Khiros are the softest bushings out there, great for a front slalom truck.

Usually the bushing closest to the board is refered to as the bottom bushing, since your board is usually upside down whenever you're messing with the bushings.
