Compatible Truck Sizes

The Chocolate Hecox Essential Conical 52mm wheels are best paired with decks from 7.75" to 8.25", ideal for street-focused setups. 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.

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 8.0" trucks (Independent 139 or Venture 5.2) suit wider 8.0" to 8.25" decks for added stability.

Wheel Sizes

The Chocolate Hecox Essential Conical 52mm 99A wheels are included in this set and are ideal for street and park skating. If replacing with other wheels, the following sizes are compatible with typical 7.75" to 8.25" decks:

• 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 this wheel size.
• 55-56mm: Suited for skateparks or mixed terrain. Larger wheels offer faster rolls and smoother rides over cracks or ramps, best with mid or high trucks and risers if needed.
• General Guideline: For 7.75" to 8.25" decks, 50-54mm wheels are most popular for street-focused setups, while 54-56mm wheels are better for park or transition skating. Opt for harder wheels (83A or higher) for street and softer wheels (80A-83A) for skatepark surfaces.
