## Description

Crafted for quick turning response and smooth edge-to-edge transitions, Orangatang Knuckles are the ultimate high-energy bushing upgrade for carving, pumping, dancing, and freestyle longboarding.What's included?Two insert barrel bushings, two gumdrop bushings, two large cup washers, and two small cup washers.SPECSDiameter: 0.95”Height (gumdrop): 0.64”Height (insert barrel): 0.59” barrel + 0.075” insert = 0.665” totalFormula: Randy Thane (extremely high rebound, ideal for responsive, energetic turning)Durometers: soft (orange, 87a), medium (purple, 90a)Compatible with most longboard trucks (including Paris, Bear, Randal, Carver, Gullwing, Tracker, Caliber, etc).RESPONSIVE DESIGN — Two unique shapes for highly responsive and customizable turning. The inner diameter features precise tolerances for a snugger fit around the kingpin. The insert barrel features a small “step” to fill the gap between the kingpin and the hole of the hanger, reducing play in the assembly for a more precise response. The gumdrop is a smooth and subtle blend between a barrel and the more traditional cone shape, providing enhanced agility. The rounded edge allows for ultra-smooth turn initiation and improved interface with the washers.HIGHLY TUNABLE — In the standard configuration, the insert barrel is placed on the bottom and the gumdrop on the top. Also try double insert barrels (the height of the insert is half the thickness of a Paris bushing seat) or double gumdrops. Replace the included cup washers with flat washers for a less restrictive, highly linear turning rate.KNUCKLES vs. NIPPLES — Nipples provide maximum rebound for pumping and carving, lively yet supportive turning, and reduced wheelbite. Knuckles provide easier turn initiation with less resistance, quicker edge-to-edge response, and a greater ultimate lean angle.

    I really like these!
  

*by A***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2019*

The unique gumdrop shape of the roadside bushing creates such a smooth, even, natural turning sentation that is quite breathtaking. I highly recommend you give them a shot!Edits:I weigh 135-140 lbs and use the purple knuckles on:- Paris V2 trucks [on Loaded Tarab flex 2]- Bear Grizzly (181mm, 52degree) trucks [on Landyachtz Hollowtech Stratus]The knuckles do not appear to be compatible with Atlas trucks

    Better than Nipples, Freaking perfect
  

*by R***I on Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2020*

I have an icarus with paris trucks and caguama wheels. I am new to longboarding and am focusing on cruising, carving, and learning to pump. I am 135 lbs.At first, I bought the yellow nipples because many sites advised that it was the right durometer for my weight and riding intentions. But they were too hard. When i tried to turn, they would fight back and force me to center, actually making me lose balance and fall off the board.Then i tried orange nipples, per the company's weight chart. They were much better. I didnt have to fight to turn, but they would push me back to center before i was ready. I wasn't done with the turn or carve. I was just rebounding back at the bushing's will. I could keep my balance and learn. But I still didnt have 100% control.Third time is a charm - I bought the knuckles in orange, something I didnt do from day 1 because i was afraid it would be too turny for a n00b. And they were perfect. They arent too turny. I can stay on the board. I dont get wobbles going fast. When i turn or carve, I dont return to center until I want them to. Freaking perfect. I hand-tightened them as much as i could, then did one full 360 turn with a skate tool. Since they are paris trucks, I ended with no thread, just flush kingpin with nut, easy to make consistent. I have only been skating for 2 weeks.Lesson learned -1. stock bushing suck2. you have to try 2 or 3 sets of bushings, diff durometers and shapes, to find the right one. and its worth the money you waste. It makes the biggest difference. And there is no harm in having some extra bushings as spares and experiments in the future.3. cone and barrel shape is not too unstable for n00bs. in fact, its standard.

    Better than Nipples
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2020*

It’s not often that I will admit something is better than Nipples... but I guess there is a first for everything. The knuckles are much more responsive than the Nipples and have a better turn radius. However, they are not as stable. I do not recommend these for downhill.
