VJSkateboard Truck and Wheel, 5.0 Skateboard Trucks (Silver) w/Skateboard Crusier Wheel 60mm, Skateboard Bearings, Skateboard Screws, Skateboard Riser Pads (Black)

So...I’ll start off by saying I’m not a skateboarder...yet. And some would say learning to ride a skateboard at 38 is unadvisable, but when you have three kids begging you to teach them, sacrifices must be made. I bought a cheap skateboard from the local box store and after riding it around the block all of 5 min I decided I needed something different. I’m not trying to do any tricks or stunts, I’m just looking to cruise. So I bought these wheels and trucks to upgrade my board and make it a little more midlife crisis friendly. Wow, what a difference! The improvements were instantly noticeable. The ride was smooth and I was rolling over sidewalk cracks, small gravel and glass like they weren’t even there. The trucks initially had a little too much play on the turns and my board got a little wheel rash (?), but a few twists on the wrench tightened them right up. After slapping on a new paint job I’m now cruising the neighborhood is style! Couldn’t be happier.

TL;DR: Perfect kit for assembling a board, though I recommend better bearings.I was gifted a cruiser board that was intended to be pre-assembled for sale, but upon applying one of the wheels, one of the bearings got smashed into the trucks and seemingly formed into the truck. No amount of hammering and vice grips would remove this bearing (I'm not sure how it got installed so poorly, but I digress). I looked for a kit that included all of the necessary trucks, bearings, etc, that wouldn't also break the bank. I understand there are better brands out there but seeing as this was given to me at no cost, spending a pretty penny on nicer equipment would have meant that I could have just bought another pre-assembled cruiser outright. This kit went together very well and included detailed instructions for assembly, so even for beginners (such as a present for a younger teen or kid) this would be easy to assemble. The colors offered for the various truck and wheel combinations are pleasing to the eye and worked well for the board I assembled! The trucks can be easily adjusted for different riding styles. My only gripe is that the bearings are not of great quality. I would recommend replacing these with BONES Red Bearings (https://www.amazon.com/Bones-Bearings-Reds-Spacers-Washers/dp/B0798WGCB1). However, the bearings also aren't the worst I have used before, so you can certainly get use out of them out of the box. Otherwise a very reasonable price for a decent kit, I would recommend!

Recently acquired a pair of older skateboards for short money, both of whaich hasd seen hard use. Replaced the trucks and wheels with this kit on both boards and now have 2 boards with free running wheels that ride smoothly and seem able to handle street and sidewalk for not a lot of money.Wheels, trucks and bearings feel solid and high quality and the instructions are super clear, though first set I forgot the spacers as I wasn't expecting them to be in the bag with the screws and nuts but it wasn't as big job to undo the wheel nuts pop out the outer bearing and drop the spacer over the axle.Bought one set and was so happy with the result bought a second and would be happy to recommend these for anyone looking to refurbish an old skateboard.

My daughter had a great time installing this kit in her skateboard and they look really nice. The price seems to be just right. The only thing i would take into consideration is that these wheels really move very easily. It has turned her board into a rocket. So i would be careful with beginners.

My daughter said they were good on the 8.25 board she has.
