Wheel Hardness
-
Daddies gives you the option to pick
the hardness or "durometer" of your 70mm Abec11 Flashback or Grippin Wheels.
-
Durometer runs on a number scale
100a being super hard for freestyle type skating and 72a being super soft gum
rubber.
-
Daddies recommends 78a
durometer for beginning longboarders.
78a durometer is soft, so it won't
slide out easily when carving.
-
Kryptonics Route 70mm 78a are
available in Blue, Clear, or Red
-
Sector 9 Nineballs are
available 70mm 78a.
-
-
70's flashbacks or Grippins are
available in the following durometers. 92a, 88a, 84a, 81a, 78a, 75a, 72a.

Randal Trucks
-
Randal 150mm - 150mm axle
length, fast turning, great for carving. If you need to turn tight corners,
choose these.
-
Randal 180mm - 180mm axle
length, great for hill bombing, turns a little slower than the 150mm.
-
Randal 160mm - Great for high
speeds. 160mm axle length. Kingpin sits at a better angle for great stability at
high speeds.
Adds +$10.00 to complete price.
Please Note That Due To The Larger Hole Pattern on Randal 160mm Trucks Your Deck
Will Be Drilled To Accommodate The Trucks.
Daddy, What are skateboard
bearing spacers?
Bearing spacers are small metal tubes that fit between the bearings in your
skateboard and longboard wheels. When you mount your wheels on your trucks,
the axle slides through one bearing, then through a spacer, and through the
second bearing. PLEASE NOTE: Your trucks come standard with 4 little washers
called speed rings. These little guys grab the inner tube of the bearings,
called the inner race. DO NOT THROW THESE LITTLE GUYS AWAY. You will need
them if you want to properly assemble or (re)assemble your wheels and
bearings.
Why should I buy them Daddy?
When your axle nut is tightened down properly on your skateboard trucks,
they insure that when the wheel is spinning, the bearings remain parallel.
This will give you better glide on the flats and prolong your bearings life.
Which is nice if you have paid $120 for ceramic bearings.
If you need further
assistance we would be glad to speak with you over the phone or via email.
You will not talk to an operator, you will speak with someone who actually
longboards. 1.888.779.7062
