Got this stuff... What else do I need?

**93Diskont.** · 07-30-2009 05:12 AM

Hey guys, I'm buying my new trucks/wheels etc. today.

I've got:
Longboard Hardware - Bolts
Holey Longboard Trucks (pair)
Lush Longboards Magma 70mm 78a Wheels
Bones Swiss Reds

I'm fitting them to an LBL Komodo (whenever it arrives...) but to my current board before that.

I was wondering if I'll need anything else?

I'd seriously consider getting a bunch of bushings.
They can alter the way a board feels dramatically, and on the scale of things they're cheap.

Probably wouldn't recommend getting premium ones just yet, once you've got it dialled you'll have a much better idea what shape/duro to get when you decide to lash out.

I'll be buying Khiro's when I get some more cash, however I'll be sticking with the Holey stock bushings for now - will I need anything else, however? Any more bolts or anything (there are 8 in the pack).

I'll rip the risers off my previous board too, they're pretty good.

Khiro Flathead Hardcore Hardware - Stoked Longboards

Khiro TrussHead Hardcore Hardware - Stoked Longboards

Longboard Hardware - Bolts - Stoked Longboards

What do I get to fit my Holey's to my Komodo? Sorry, this is my first time building a board, I'm a little apprehensive!

Holey trucks only use holey bushings, khiros dont fit

**Cruzer** · 07-30-2009 05:31 AM

Any of that hardware works

**93Diskont.** · 07-30-2009 05:31 AM

Ah. Well, that's something else I don't need to buy. What about the bolts? Which should I get?

**93Diskont.** · 07-30-2009 05:32 AM

Personal preference? Should I go with the Khiro's? If so, which size?

goes from 7/8'' to 3''

8 is all you need.
You might want to do a little searching here regarding holey kingpins-
Sometimes you need a bit of extra length to run twin-barrel bushings, I'm a Randal guy so my holey knowledge isn't real exhaustive.

Other than that i'd say make some gloves and if you don't already have one buy an EPS lined helmet.

What size risers are you gonna use

**93Diskont.** · 07-30-2009 05:38 AM

about 1/8'', my risers

I have a set of Holeys, the reason you can't use aftermarket bushings is the narrow, deep bushing seats. Also the bottem stock bushings are .75 inch bottem, and .50 inch top bushing, khiros are .55 inch

**93Diskont.** · 07-30-2009 05:40 AM

So should I just get the 7/8'' Khiros and order my stuff now?

1 1/4 inch hardware will work

Yeah, stupid design if you ask me - but what would I know.

Okay guys

Re-evaluated list:
Holey Longboard Trucks (pair)
Lush Longboards Magma 70mm 78a Wheels
Bones Swiss Reds
Khiro Flathead Hardcore Hardware 1 1/4''

I'm going to buy a new set of 1/8'' Khiro risers, too (seeing as I'm buying the Khrio Flatheads)

Sound good to you guys?
