Longboard wheels
March 11th, 2009
Get the best wheels for your longboard. Among all the parts of a longboard, the wheels are the most used and must be replaced periodically. Longboard wheels are made of urethane composite and are measured by durometer. A lower durometer means the wheels are softer and they grip the road much tighter.
The higher the durometer, the harder and faster your board will be. So if you need speed and agility on the board, choose the higher level of durometer. But if you want to have more grip on the road and much softer wheels, choose the lower durometer level. As you develop your skills riding the longboard, you will be able to find the balance between hard and soft longboard wheels.
