You're not going anywhere without wheels and bearings. They determine how quickly you skate. If you are putting together your own setup, read our guide and match them to how you skate.
The size or the diameter is given in millimetres. We have skateboard wheels between the sizes 48 mm to 60 mm diameter. A larger wheel will be able to go faster but will take longer to accelerate to top speed. Smaller wheels accelerate faster and offer more stability.
Slower wheels for more stability when landing and rapid acceleration. Great for street skating.
The hardness (durometer), is indicated by the A scale which goes from 1A for soft to 100A for very hard. Some manufacturers use the B scale as well, this is considerably harder. 80B is equivalent to 100A.
A harder wheel will slide much more than a grippy softer wheel. For you, we have sorted these wheels from very soft to very hard.
These soft wheels are excellent for cruising as they absorb impacts from cracks and bumps in the road. They have most grip and offer the smoothest ride.
Keep the ball rolling - bearings are an integral part of your setup. Trust us, without your bearings running smoothly you’re not going anywhere fast. They are sold in sets of 8 as you need two for each wheel.
One size fits all - bearings are designed to work with all skateboard wheels.
Bearings are round casings containing eight or nine lubricated balls depending on whether they are steel or ceramic. They help to spread the weight of the rider and reduce friction between the truck and wheels. Durable and reasonably priced, steel bearings are the most common bearings .
Friction causes metal bearings to heat up and expand, which can cause them damage. That’s why proper, regular maintenance of your bearings is so important. The effects of friction are far less damaging to ceramic bearings so, naturally, they last a lot longer.
