What size trucks/ wheels would you recommend for this board?

I'm using 71mm wheels. I'm more of a cruiser so if you are wanting to do slides and such I am not sure what wheels to use. I suggest looking on some forums for a more educated answer.

I have 180mm gullwing sidewinders. With 80a sector 9 wheels. No riser, and do not get any wheel bite.

My son installed these wheels and trucks and they work great - he had so much fun designing and building his own long board. LONGBOARD Skateboard TRUCKS COMBO set w/ 71mm WHEELS + 9.675" Polished / Black trucks Package - Free shipping, Gel Blue Wheel, Black TrucksSold by: The Epic SportsSteve

I use 10inch Gullwing sidewinder trucks with 78mm wheels and I also recomend at least a 1/4 riser I use 1/2 inch but it's all preference

Its a nice cruiser so I put on some 180mm trucks and orange Orangutang In Heats, 80a 75mm. Also if you weigh over 120lbs and find it too flexy, a layer of fiberglass on the bottom gives it some strength. Fiberglass kit cost me $22 and its enough to do 4 decks.

Hi Patricia, Yes you can replace the wheels ( just for ease I always buy ones with bearing already attached). Here is a little rule of thumb on wheels, just a little guide not the rule is all hope it helps. For boards 40 inches or longer, use a 70--75 millimeter diameter. For boards 34 to 42 inches, use a 68--72 millimeter diameter. For boards 34 inches and smaller, use a 60--67 millimeter diameter. Note that a smaller wheel within the range will allow for easier pumping and quicker acceleration, while a larger wheel will allow for maintaining greater speeds.

One that could get your skinny ass to some food!Size of the pintail board is pretty standard between two sizes. It's really what kind of riding do you want to do? YouTube has good reference material for choosing a board.

I'm no expert and can only talk of personal experiences. I would recommend an 8 x 4. I tried 10 x6 and found that it is too unstable trying to come back down it tends to develop a nasty wobble and led to a crash. The 8 x 4 is nice and stable.

My little brother measured and said as long as it's the only board you plan to travel with you should be fine. Hope that helps.

You could use standard 180mm trucks. I use 9 inch standard king pin trucks for a more crusie type ride. I use 76mm wheels with no risers. I doubt you can go bigger with out them.

Yes, it would be too big. I rode this board and I'm 170 pounds. Here's a site that lets you build a board for your kid: http://www.skatexs.com/It's definitely a much pricier option. If nothing else, this might give you an idea of what you should be looking for.

Definitely. I would consider purchasing new wheels eventually though. The board is great for cruising though I have no problem with its everyday use.

well they sell nickel boards which are about 25 to 27 inches and they look exactly the same as penny boards and probably have a larger max load. if you want a certain brand than i suggest penny because i know many people over 200 pounds who ride normal 22 inch pennies with no problem

Get the 15". The tires are pretty big, so you will be farther from the ground than with smaller wheels.

any size wheels can work on these trucks. if they are however too big you will need some risers which are cheap to put between the trucks and the board to prevent wheel bite.

Same here, Just go by the tire size you have on currently. Some trucks came with 17"rims, some with 20" rims, default is most likely to say it won't fit vs having you return them.

If I was you I'd try to get a smaller board width so tricks come easier a wider board means the more power you need to use
