Longboard wheels and bearings are essential components that impact a longboard's performance, stability, and overall riding experience. Understanding these elements empowers you to customize your board for various terrains and personal preferences.
Benefits of Longboard Wheels and Bearings**
How to Choose the Right Wheels and Bearings:
* Consider terrain: Softer wheels absorb shock well for uneven paths, while harder wheels offer better grip on smooth surfaces.
* Determine size: Wheel diameter determines speed and stability. Larger wheels are faster but less maneuverable, while smaller wheels are more agile but slower.
* Choose bearing type: Ceramic bearings offer exceptional durability and speed, while stainless steel bearings are cost-effective and provide good performance.
Wheel Size | Pros | Cons |
---|---|---|
60mm-70mm | Agile, maneuverable | Slower, less stable |
70mm-80mm | Balanced speed, maneuverability | Moderate stability |
80mm+ | Fast, stable | Less maneuverable |
Bearing Type | Pros | Cons |
---|---|---|
Ceramic | Durable, fast | Expensive |
Stainless Steel | Cost-effective, reliable | Not as durable as ceramic |
