Santa Cruz VX and Powell Flight decks are an exception to the rule but even those decks work fine with 7/8″ hardware. Same goes for an 8.25″, again there is no difference because most decks consist of 7-plys of maple. If you skate and 8.0″ deck, you still can use 7/8″ hardware without risers. There is no correlation between the size (length) of your deck and hardware size. More about that in my upcoming riser pad special. Go bigger if you love to carve on cruisers, but this post is about hardware and technical skateboarding. It really depends on your weight, truck height, style, and the hardness of your bushings. I tested many cruisers, wheels, and different setups and almost everytime you can get away with 1⁄8″ risers, even if you ride 60mm wheels. My table is a bit different compared to a couple of e-commerce sites like Tactics, Warehouse Skateboards or Skatedeluxe (EU) because I think they are off and too generic. Skateboarders only need 1/8″ risers in general, anything over 1/8″ risers is for cruisers and perhaps a few bowl skaters that love extra carvy setups. I stopped at 60mm because that’s part of my skateboard riser pad guide.
Skateboard hardware size chart Wheel size (mm)Ĩ-Ply or 9-Ply deck hardware lenght (inch) I made sure you have enough clearance so you don’t get wheel bite. There isn’t a golden rule when wheels size gets over 58mm and you start to add risers. I checked all my skateboards and cruisers to see what works. This chart is based on my own experience. Can You Ride a Skateboard With 2 or 3 Bolts?.Removing a Stuck Hardware Bolt From a Skateboard.How Do You Put Hardware on a Skateboard?.I thought old school was when you disassembled an old clamp on skate and nailed it to the bottom of a 2x4.
If you look at the first picture you will see I am using "Old School" hole spacing. My reasoning is that whomever I give this too, it is easier to keep track of them if they are installed. I don't know why you would want them but I installed them. Position the trucks and attach each with four #10 1½" round headed wood screws. Mark the pilot holes and drill them with an 5/32" drill, 1½" deep. The temple file (SVG) also includes 1/8" pilot (green) holes for mounting trucks. The dimension drawing includes the dimensions to position the holes. You need to mark the mounting hole positions on the ice cream sandwich deck. When they came I was impressed at the quality and axle tip to axle tip is 8". I got these because they were cheap and they said they would work for 8" wide decks. Trucks are the hardware that connects to the skate deck and the wheels.
