Frequently Asked Questions
How wide should skateboard trucks be?
Truck axle width should match your deck width within about a quarter inch. An 8 inch deck needs trucks around 8 inches wide.
Do I need riser pads?
Riser pads prevent wheel bite. Use them with wheels larger than 56mm or if you ride loose trucks.
What size wheels for street skating?
Street skating typically uses 50 to 54mm wheels. Larger wheels are better for cruising and rough terrain.
