My setup

I’m always trying new wheels or new trucks, and so I will update this page each time I settle on something. You can find a link to reviews of some of my setup in the list. If you are interested in a review of one piece of my setup or if you have any question, feel free to contact me.

M5 10.9 steel hardware
M5 10.9 steel hardware, nice and strong.

 

I’m using Bones Red bearings on all my board, or sometime Bones Swiss bearings.

I’m also using locally sourced hardware for several reasons:

  • I have access to many different sizes and it is really useful when you are trying big wedge on your longboard.
  • I’m sure that the quality is good so I’m not scared of breaking any screw. I’m using European 10.9 steel, and it won’t break easily.
  • I like to use metric screws wherever I can.
