(I own 78a, 84a 95a in various sizes.)Ī Complete from Churchill will run about $120 with Randall Trucks. Personally, I commute & feel that a large size is better for that. Downhill/Slider (80-87a durometer) are popular.
You get like two options: Cruiser (75-79a durometer rating) wheels are soft and good for long distance commuting, but are hard to slide. (Used from someone at the skatepark?) Might as well get decent ones to start. ($15) Get low grade ones if you need to go slow. More exist & some people yell if they are not included.īearings: "Bones" brand are the most liked. (Caliber and Bear are the next two, some say bear is hard to get bushings for.) (about $50 for a set) Churchill RKP are supposedly not bad ($25) but you will probably have to get new bushings. Randall & Paris are preferred because the bushings are easy to replaced. Probably 180mm (~9" axle), but it should match the width of your board. You can get two types, but most longboarders like Reverse Kingpin Trucks. (That I know of.) (55+) This can be quite large: See The Board Guide on the right for a long detailed description.
