Skateboard wheels are designed in many different sizes and hardness. These wheels are made of a rubber like material called urethane. The size and hardness of the wheels affect the smoothness of the ride on a skateboard, how well it handles, and its speed. Skateboard wheels are normally 52 mm to 60 mm and have their own ball bearings built in. skateboard wheels
Modern skateboard wheels are bidirectional, meaning that they can be attached in either direction unlike the wheels on a car or the back wheel of a bicycle. Skateboard wheels are attached to the trucks by hex head axle bolts and ABEC (or another company’s) ball bearings to provide the free-spinning movement of the wheels.
Skateboard trucks are axles attached to a base plate. Skateboard wheels don’t just keep your skateboard rolling, they are also responsible for keeping you on your feet as you tackle different terrain. Wheels are attached to the axles of the trucks with a hex bolt and there are 8 bearings, two inserted into each wheel with a space between.
The skateboard wheels come in different sizes, from 48 to 100 mm, and different hardness. The higher is the number the harder the wheel. The trucks are bolted to the bottom of the deck. The trucks are fastened to the bottom of the deck; it also acts as suspension and axles for the deck along with wheels. The wheels are attached onto the ends of the trucks and have wheel bearings as a consequence the wheels can rotate. Wheels come in different sizes and hardness to support you to modify your ride.
