One 77mm Striker makes 4 Radikal or 5 Tracker/Indy size bushings.
<b>Taller</b> = greater compression range, <b>ABEC11 urethane</b> = superb rebound, <b>green</b> = color harmony with your favorite slalom wheels.

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

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.

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