Recently, while at the beach, bought a used longboard w/ oversize trucks. Need oversize bearings (3/8" bore R6RS) and wheels. What do you recommend?

Personally, I would purchase some standard trucks to fit standard 8mm bearings, because in the long run, your bearings can break, get dirty, or you might just want faster ones, and it would be much easier for you to find bearings, wheels, and bolts in that size, and there's more variety in the 8mm size. I don't really understand, do 8mm or 7mm not fit your trucks as in their bore is to small?

The sizes are universal. With these trucks I would suggest 70mm orangutan wheels, bones reds bearings, and any hardware set will do. And if you don't have grip tape on your board, or you want new tape. I would suggest Black Diamond tape.

the tires are 37cm. i own a hobie islander 16ft long with outriggers. i just couldn't pull the yak over the soft sand, so i returned them.

The measurement of bearings is based on the truck stem size more so than the wheel size. If you have 8mm, then it should work, but I would call a skate shop to confirm as I used them for quad skates.

I fly to Baja Mexico twice a year, and my Bazuka Pro case holds 4-5 7' heavy conventional rods and also I include a 7 1/2' Shimano spinning rod with NO problems at all. Just wrap all the rods together and adjust case to fit the longest rod. It will give you years of service. Plenty of room for your spinning rods.

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.

The wheel brand 'Road Riders' are a good place to start. They were one of the first urethane skateboard wheels from back in 1975 when it started and now are making wheels for longboards. For a longboard you don't want a wheel under 60 mm. My Road Rider Sideshows are 72mm.

They are smooth. Bearings? I don't think they will be too big, there is a lot of padding and adjust.

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

I have the Bob and it has been great on the beach. The large wheels are what really make a difference.

I have 65 mm wheels and there is about 18mm clearance from the top of wheel to the board in a max turn . I think the 80 mm wheels will work . The trucks you use may change the amount of clearance

I just realized which trucks you were buying. Any standard 70 mm wheel and bearing kit is great. Get a riser and bolt length depending on how you are mounting them and how thick the riser is. I would recommend a full kit that includes everythung. Bearings are standard sizes. Sorry I didn't read through before answering.

These take the standard 608 bearings with most modern skates. If you have the mini-bearings of old...there are still new wheels out there for mini-bearings, but you may have to find them on other inline-skate specific sites. Good Luck.

I guess so, because I have a lot of friends longboarders that use those big wheels. And they use this same bearings, and they told me that these bearings last a lot even more than mines cause I use 53mm Bones Wheels cause I'm skateboarder. :)
