Skateboard hardware

 Skate hardware is used to attach the trucks to the board. Each truck needs four screws and lock nuts. The length of the screws you will need depends on which style of riding you prefer. 


Skateboard hardware is available in many different lengths and often contains one different colored screw which you can use to mark nose of your skateboard.


Hardware will certainly be useful over time as well as other screws. If you find out that the screws are dropping or that they are rusty, it's time to invest in a new set.

Steel quality is not too high. ABEC 3 - are generally inexpensive, but they also allow a smooth and fast ride. ABEC 5 - standard for most types of skateboarding. Higher speed at an affordable price.
