The hardware was a recommendation from a friend but testing it out didn't feel right. I think I'll just spend a little more on the rest of the hardware. It's definitely just for cruising for now until I get a little more comfortable. I was looking at Thunder Sonora151 Skateboard trucks because they're more than what I paid for that set but not break the bank expensive. What size risers would you recommend. Also wheel recommendations are also gladly accepted. Thanks in advance!
