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 spacer Wallets. The skateboard wheels come in different sizes, from 48 to 100 mm, and different hardness. Most skateboard wheels, like mentioned above, are made from urethane, and have a hardness rating stamped on the wheel for example, 95a or 100a always with an “a” after the number. The higher is the number the harder the wheel. For example, a 101a wheel is harder than a 95a. So a good choice for street riding might be a 100a or 101a. A 95a would do well on ramps and in a skateboard park.
