Longboard Buying Guide: Washers

Washers

Use the right washers to get the best performance out of your bushings.

Washer Selection

In order to complete your new bushing configuration, you’ll need to secure the bushings using some washers on both ends.

Barrel & Cone ("Standard") Bushing Combo

For a standard bushing combo we suggest using a large cupped washer to hold the barrel bushing in place, and a small cupped washer to hold the cone bushing in place. Cupped washers grip the bushings and reduce the "slop" in the turn. Simple as that! You’ll need a total of two large cupped washers and two small cupped washers for your board.

Super-Tech Bushing Combo

If you’re gonna get super technical (or asymmetrical) with your bushing setups, just remember that it is wise to have one flat washer and one large cupped washer for each barrel bushing, one small cup washer for each cone, and one flat washer per stepped bushing. Remember: Cupped washers do not work with stepped bushings!
