Essential Cruiser Parts
Bushings: Enhance Your Turning and Control
Bushings are the rubber rings inside the truck that allow it to turn smoothly. They are essential for your skateboard's responsiveness and control. Different durometers (hardness) affect how easily your board turns.
Bearing Lube: For a Faster, Smoother Ride
Bearing lube reduces friction and maintains the smooth rotation of skateboard bearings. Apply it whenever you clean your bearings to keep them performing well and prolong their lifespan.
Griptape: Keep Your Feet Securely on Your Board
Applying griptape involves cleaning your deck, carefully aligning and sticking the griptape, and then trimming the edges with a sharp blade. Make sure to smooth out any air bubbles for a clean finish.
Rails: Protect Your Board and Improve Your Slides
Rails on a skateboard are plastic strips attached to the underside of the deck to protect it from damage and enhance performance. They help the board slide more smoothly on surfaces during grinds and slides, reduce friction, and provide a better grip for your hands during grab tricks. Additionally, rails can improve stability and control, making them a practical addition for skaters looking to prolong the life of their deck and enhance their skating experience.
Truck Risers: Get the Perfect Height and Avoid Wheel Bite With Our Truck Risers
Truck risers are pads placed between the skateboard deck and trucks to raise the board. They help prevent wheel bite and provide a smoother ride, especially for larger wheels or rough terrain. Whether you're looking for skateboard bolts, bushings, grip tape, bearings, rails, or truck risers, we have everything you need. Order online or shop in-store at one of our Boardstore Sunshine Coast locations to find the best hardware for your cruiser skateboard.
FAQ
How do I know if my skateboard hardware is compatible?
Compatibility depends on your skateboard deck, trucks, and any additional accessories like riser pads. Make sure the bolts are long enough to pass through the deck and trucks and secure them tightly.
How often should I replace my skate hardware?
You should replace your hardware if you notice damage, rust, or wear that affects the stability and safety of your skate. Also, regularly check for loose bolts and ensure all components are secure.
Can I mix and match hardware brands?
Yes, you can mix and match hardware brands as long as the sizes are compatible with your deck and trucks. However, sticking with one brand can ensure consistency in quality and fit.
