55 AF1 8.5"
Ref. T15483575206272
The 55 AF1 8.5" trucks attach to your deck for street, park, or bowl skating. Sized for an 8.5" setup, this model lets you mount your wheels and bearings so you can dial in your complete and head out to skate.
Description
When you assemble a skateboard, matching your trucks to your deck width determines how your setup aligns. The 55 AF1 features an 8.5" axle width, which matches an 8.5" deck. Sizing your trucks to your board width keeps your wheels aligned with the outer edges of the deck. This sizing suits skaters who ride street spots, practice at the skate park, or skate transitions in a bowl.
If you are updating parts on an existing complete or building a custom setup, mounting your trucks is part of the build. Place the baseplates over the truck holes on your deck, attach your hardware from the top, and tighten the nuts underneath. Insert your bearings into your wheels, slide them onto the axles, and tighten the axle nuts so your wheels roll freely.
Having the correct sizing under your deck helps you as you learn flatground tricks, drop into ramps, and practice grinds. Whether you are a beginner or an improving rider, pair your board setup with a helmet and pads before you head out to skate.
