Compatible Truck Sizes

This complete skateboard comes pre-assembled with Habitat Logo trucks, which have an axle width of 8.0" to match the deck. If replacing trucks, the following sizes from Independent Trucks and Venture Trucks are compatible:

Independent Trucks:

• Size 129 (7.6" axle width): Slightly narrower but compatible, offering a nimble setup for street skating.
• Size 139 (8.0" axle width): Perfect match for 7.75" decks, providing a balanced setup for street and park.

Venture Trucks:

• Size 5.0 (7.6" axle width): Compatible for a lightweight, agile setup, ideal for technical skating.
• Size 5.2 (8.0" axle width): Ideal match for 7.75" decks, offering stability and smooth turning.

General Guideline: Trucks with an 8.0" axle width (Independent 139 or Venture 5.2) are the best match for this deck, while 7.6" trucks (Independent 129 or Venture 5.0) offer a slightly narrower stance for agility.

Wheel Sizes

This complete comes with 53mm 99A Habitat wheels, ideal for street skating. If replacing wheels, the 7.75" Habitat Pod Compressed deck supports the following sizes based on skating style:

• 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 deck.
• 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 a 7.75" deck, 50-54mm wheels are most popular for street-focused setups, while 54-56mm wheels are better for park skating. Opt for harder wheels (83A or higher) for street and softer wheels (80A-83A) for skatepark surfaces.
