Santa Cruz VX and Powell Flight decks are an exception to the rule but even those decks work fine with 7/8″ hardware. Same goes for an 8.25″, again there is no difference because most decks consist of 7-plys of maple. If you skate and 8.0″ deck, you still can use 7/8″ hardware without risers. There is no correlation between the size (length) of your deck and hardware size. More about that in my upcoming riser pad special. Go bigger if you love to carve on cruisers, but this post is about hardware and technical skateboarding. It really depends on your weight, truck height, style, and the hardness of your bushings. I tested many cruisers, wheels, and different setups and almost everytime you can get away with 1⁄8″ risers, even if you ride 60mm wheels. My table is a bit different compared to a couple of e-commerce sites like Tactics, Warehouse Skateboards or Skatedeluxe (EU) because I think they are off and too generic. Skateboarders only need 1/8″ risers in general, anything over 1/8″ risers is for cruisers and perhaps a few bowl skaters that love extra carvy setups. I stopped at 60mm because that’s part of my skateboard riser pad guide. Skateboard hardware size chart Wheel size (mm)Ĩ-Ply or 9-Ply deck hardware lenght (inch) I made sure you have enough clearance so you don’t get wheel bite. There isn’t a golden rule when wheels size gets over 58mm and you start to add risers. I checked all my skateboards and cruisers to see what works. This chart is based on my own experience. Can You Ride a Skateboard With 2 or 3 Bolts?.Removing a Stuck Hardware Bolt From a Skateboard.How Do You Put Hardware on a Skateboard?.In our skate & product tests you'll find detailed reviews of various deck technologies. Many skateboard deck constructions are about decks that retain their Pop longer. Which skateboard brands offering decks with the most Pop can't be answered, because it also depends on skaters and their setup. Decks that lose their stiffness have less Pop over time. So the meaning of Pop depends strongly on the context. "The Pop angle" (very technical approach, involving many components and rarely used) The angle between the skateboard & the floor when the tail is pushed to the ground.A skater's bounce - "Gilbert Crockett has Pop.The stiffness and responsiveness of a deck - "The deck has Pop.".There are a few explanations for Pop, which are more or less common in the skateboard scene. Basically Pop is related to how high skateboard tricks are performed. "What is Pop?", "Which decks have the most Pop?" and "When does a deck lose its Pop?" - again, it's difficult to give a concrete answer.
