    Smile Any tips and opinions on

    Hey I am fairly new to the sport and I was wondering if you can help me out some questions I have for my new board. I have a surf one august II (8.875 x 43.75)

    The Robert August has Randal 180mm trucks,
    # Length: 43.75""
    # Width: 8.875"

    I ride it quit often and recently i faced some problem regarding the squeaking sound, and having to kick to often around my school.

    Can I please get some suggestions on which trucks, and bearings is best suited for me along with the right wheels for cruising. I do ran across some streets that have nasty cracks and rough surface. Can i get some suggestion on that too. thank you

    the randals are a good choice, but u can also go with bears or paris, the red bones are a cheap and good bearings
    about the wheels, u might take a look at the lemon bigzigs, they are big and durable

    randals are good but i think paris ride better imo, the stock bushings are also much better.

    The bearings you are talking about are bones reds (bones being the company and reds the model of the bearing) those are good cheap bearings but I'd go with milehighskate bearings over those, theyre cheaper and last much longer from my experience. You can buy them at www.milehighskate.com

    As for wheels, don't buy big zigs you'll most likely get wheelbite due to the size of them. 70mm Zig zags (they do also come in 66mm if you need smaller than that) would be a better size and get the lime durometer over lemon if your facing rough roads. Personally i'd highly recommend earthwing smokers (or road rages if you want a 66mm wheel) the new earthwing thane is awesome and the wheels ride fantastic.
