Bones Reds, best bang for your buck. I cruise like a dream with those on my Stereo

NONE! The bearings in this board are perfectly fine. Just ride it and you'll see. Why spend more $$ on other bearings just to say you have name brand bearings. Blah blah blah. Ride it and you 'll see they are perfectly fine, fast and fun!

@Austin the bearing were about the same quality as the reds bearings. Really the only difference was that they were yellow instead of red. Also the board came with yellow moranga wheels instead of yellow stims. Lastly, the bushings were garbage, but overall I like the board. It takes a little while to adjust to, but still good for tricks and pretty fun

Good board for the price. Upgrade the bearings and you'll be gravy for cruising.

my son says the problem with these bearings is they make his skateboard go too fast.They are great. I used to own a Skate shop. Bones bearings are by far the best bearings you can buy.

They are not included. But if you go to any hobby shop, the one next to my house sells bearings for $1-$5 each depending on the manufacturer. Ceramic, metal, sealed, etc. the stock ones will work if your doing a swap out.

Mine came with "bones reds" bearings, they're pretty top notch & I've used them on other boards I've bought over the past decade

yea stereo boards are cheaper than penny but i have found that they ride just as well. i weigh 180. no problems my friend weighs about 210 and rides mine sometimes no issues yet

With the 4 pack of wheels you will need 8 bearings and 4 spacers. I would buy no less than Abec 5 or Abec 7 bearings. Brand doesn't really matter,but you would come out ahead if you bought a wheel and bearing combo pack.

No they are not very good platform pedals. The bearings on these pedals only lasted a few weeks, I suggest you buy something else.

Yes, any skate wheels. These bearings are the highest tier of quality bearings. I can free spin a wheel for four minutes when clean & oiled. Keep them clean & you'll have the fastest bearings for a lifetime. There's a reason their double the price of others.

Any wheel really, abec 11 wheels is good for starters but it all depends on what you are looking to do with your longboard?

These are excellent bearings! I admit that there better when you get them fresh out of the box, but I've had them for about 8 months now and they still spin strong. Plus you get a free sticker with them which is nice.

this one from my experience!! It is a good all around board. and the only update that I recommend is new bearings. I got bones reds on amazon for like 11 bucks!

couldnt tell ya..i thought it was a error cuz it says penny/stereo,,wich are names of board company's...all these style boards are the same,,what is different is the hardware(trucks/wheels/bearings) if its not name brand,,they are generics parts...not bad ,,the trucks just dont turn/carve very well...now that i got one for the kids,i notice its better to pay a little more for a name brand ..world industries was a nice one i thought,,i just changed the bearings,,you can find em for @ 55 dollars

I honestly don't know, if I were you go to a skate shop "GOOGLE " or go to the mall they usually have 1 there and ask them, this was my 1st board that's why I bought mine complete and ready, but I'm already looking to buy another board this time I'm looking for wheels that'll spin a lot more freely so's I can coast a lot longer, sorry I couldn't have been more help ...

Hello, you should look at the instructional videos for skateboards and the lubrication thereof. I also did a google search for"skateboard bearing grease." The search turned up more articles than I cared to read. The gist of that research is that this grease is heavy. Use a bike bearing product. Lubricate the bearings as needed. The special lubricants are not all that expensive and you use a tiny amount. I suggest watching Youtube videos on how to clean and lubricate skate wheel bearings. It is a small project that will truly help all the way around. Best of luck. You will be fine.

I first started with a bearings upgrade, which totally changed the feel of the board, then I threw on a set of Gullwing Sidewinder II Trucks, I don't recommend those trucks in particular due to having two kingpins, and the board has a big disadvantage with wheelbite with these trucks, and a bit of speed wobbles. I suggest a set of Paris' or something of the like. First, I'd start with bearings, and just work from there:)
