I once saw a sticker in a shop window
That said:
We've got everything you need, and if we don't have it, you don't need it!
Very bold, I was inspired.
And so it is that we try our best to hold ourselves to that level of product knowledge and stock holding at Vandem.
If we're missing something you do need, let us know and we'll get it in - which is exactly how we've ended up with todays haul.
If you don't know what bushings are or why they're an integral part of your board, check out the video and words on this page first!
Something New
Venom HPF Tall bushings now available, as requested.
Duros from 73A - 97A, amazing! But don't jump in too fast - each bushing is 20mm tall which won't fit in every truck. There's a good chance you already know if these are what you need, and you'll be riding Caliber 44s, Bear Kodiaks, Rogue, Ronin or Arsenal trucks.
More niche? Perhaps. But someone needs them, so we're stocking them!
Old Friends Return
After Powell Peralta changed UK distributor, we struggled to get hold of the epic Powell Hardcore bushings for a long time.
However we believe in the power of pestering, and finally they caved.
These are unique for that red ring in the centre - a bonded, moulded insert that's stiffer than the urethane itself. This really benefits trucks with very open bushing seats (Paris, Bear) by keeping everything in line and reducing slop.
It also allows you to run a softer bushing to get all the benefits of the extra turn and lean, without sacrificing stability. Very good bushings.
The Perpetual Favourite
Some of the biggest truck brands in the world pump out trucks with plasticcy, nasty bushings in and then rely on other brands to pick up the pieces.
Other brands such as Venom, Powell, RipTide... and Sabre.
Standing alone as a brand that fully supports their own - and other - trucks with a full range of UK designed, USA made, high quality bushings from 86A - 99A.
So if there's something you need that we don't have, let us know and we'll rectify it sharpish.
But I reckon when it comes to bushings, we have it pretty sewn up!
And now out into the wind I go,
Matt @ Vandem
Now there's a brand that understands urethane.
Don't just take our word for everything - hear what Abuga from Downhill254 has to say on the matter.
