Can skateboard trucks be used on long boards?

Answer 1

It depends. Without going into too much detail, all trucks are essentially the same, aside from length. If a truck is too short for a board, the wheel will hit the deck and cause wheel-bite. Wheel-bite can stop your board entirely when making a turn, potentially causing injury. If you can't afford to purchase longer trucks, buy some risers. Risers go in-between the deck and the truck to lift the deck and prevent wheel-bite. Just make sure that you purchase corresponding hardware to accommodate your new risers. Good luck.

Answer 2

Yes, if you purchase or have any skateboard trucks they will fit any wheels. the bearings are the part that actually connects to the trucks. the bearings go in the wheels; the wheels with bearings go onto the trucks and are bolted on.

Answer 3

Voodoo 13: Most Skateboard and longbord trucks and are the same. If the trucks are wide enough for the longboard you can use them no problem. Longboards are generally wider at 8" - 10" - the trucks will need to be able to clear the wheels from the deck or you'll need to compensate with riser pads..

Answer 4

yeh all trux are different for all boards so ofcourse they are.

Answer 5

no decks go by width so if the width in like 7.75 or 7.81 you must get a 7.75 truck because the with differs by 1 centimeter.
