I just got a set of Khiro bushings with the aluminum inserts. Are washers on the truck still necessary or can you put the kingpin bolt directly on the aluminum insert?

Washer can be omitted, unless needed to keep the stack height correct.

washers are def. not necessary, but you can use em to tighten up the set up a bit more if you like.

which duros are you using for slalom? i think the 60a duro would be a nice front bushing for younger, lighter kids getting into it. the bones soft blue (76a) are nice for us regular weight people that want a soft cushy bound. try those too if you like khiros, each brand has some duros that the other doesn't.

Cool!! Thanks for the info. I'll take the washers off and see how it feels.

I like Bones alright. As a matter of fact I was skating them when I got these Khiros. As you can probably tell by the picture, I'm a pretty burly dude and as such, am pretty hard on my bushings and pivot cups. I go through Bones bushings pretty quickly.

I'm skating medium & soft (red and blue) on the front and medium hard (red and yellow) in the back. On first impressions (going down my street and pumping back up) I really like the Khiros. They're a bit stiffer than I'm used to, but had good response and "power." By the way, how do you pronnouce them "kiro" or "keero." Just curious.

I've heard it pronounced k-eye-row (like the city in Egypt).
dunno if that is correct...

I pronounce it Keero but everone I've spoken to says K-eye-ro.

Hey Claude,

Do you have the barrel-shaped bushings or the conical insert ones or both?

I've had some trouble finding the khiro barrel bushings in soft duros.
