Your board wheels begin to shape as you take a turn, and after a while, they become cone-shaped. It’s quite common for them to wear unevenly because you probably favor one side more than the other. Depending on how frequently you ride your skateboard, you can change your wheels every 2 or 3 months.

 How do you know if your skateboard wheels are in good condition?

In general, harder wheels are faster, while softer wheels are slower with the added benefit of having more grip. Softer wheels are better for street skating, while harder wheels are better for smooth surfaces like skate parks.

 What is the cost of replacing skateboard wheels?

Skateboard wheels are typically priced between $20 and $40. Skateboard bearings have an even broader price range, ranging from $10 to $100.

 Do skateboard wheels deteriorate over time?

The urethane in the skateboard wheels degrades over time, which is why they turn yellow. Urethane is susceptible to UV rays from the sun, and the material will begin to deteriorate aesthetically over time. However, as the bleach wears off and the urethane degrades, the’real’ color of the wheels emerges.

 What can 58mm wheels be used for?

55-58mm wheels are ideal for skating slightly rougher terrain or bowls and ramps at a skatepark. Wheels 59mm and larger are typically used on cruiser boards, where the emphasis is on riding rather than flip tricks.

 Are 54mm wheels excessively large?

If you want to skate a wide range of terrain, 54mm is probably the best all-arounder. This size appears to provide the ideal balance of speed and acceleration for the majority of skateboarders. This is the Goldilocks zone of wheel size selection.

 Is 100a suitable for street use?

Softer wheels provide more grip, making them a good choice for street skating, but they are slower than harder wheels, which are better for smooth surfaces, such as skate parks. A skateboard that has a wheel a hardness of 78a, for example, would be considered very soft, whereas one with a hardness of 100a would be considered hard.
