Compatible Truck Sizes

The Bones 1/8in Riser Pads are compatible with a wide range of deck sizes, typically 7.75" to 8.5", depending on your wheel size and setup preference. Compatible truck sizes from Independent Trucks and Venture Trucks include:

Independent Trucks:

• Size 129 (7.6" axle width): Ideal for 7.75" decks, offering a nimble setup for smaller boards.
• Size 149 (8.5" axle width): Perfect for 8.25" to 8.5" decks, providing stability for larger setups.

Venture Trucks:

• Size 5.0 (7.6" axle width): Suitable for 7.75" decks, delivering lightweight performance and responsive turning.
• Size 5.8 (8.5" axle width): Ideal for 8.25" to 8.5" decks, offering a stable setup for street and park skating.

General Guideline: For a 7.75" deck, trucks with a 7.6" axle width (Independent 129 or Venture 5.0) are the best match, while 8.5" trucks (Independent 149 or Venture 5.8) suit wider 8.25" to 8.5" decks for added stability.

Wheel Sizes

The Bones 1/8in Riser Pads are designed for wheels around 53-56mm to reduce wheel bite on decks from 7.75" to 8.5". Compatible wheel sizes include:

• 50-52mm: Ideal for technical street skating. Smaller wheels lower the center of gravity, enhancing control for flip tricks and grinds on ledges or rails. Recommended with low trucks to avoid wheelbite.
• 53-54mm: A balanced choice for street and park skating. These wheels provide a mix of speed and maneuverability, perfect for most skaters using these risers.
• 55-56mm: Suited for skateparks or mixed terrain. Larger wheels offer faster rolls and smoother rides over cracks or ramps, with these risers providing necessary clearance.
• General Guideline: For 7.75" to 8.5" decks with these risers, 53-56mm wheels are most popular for street and park setups, while 50-52mm wheels suit technical street skating. Opt for harder wheels (83A or higher) for street and softer wheels (80A-83A) for skatepark surfaces.
