New setup for my board

Hey,

With the new bowl being built in bushy I wanna update my setup a bit, just wondering what you guys recomend for wheels, as in diameter wise?

Also I need to buy a new set of bearings, looking for something in the 30euro range that are relitavely good and long lasting, Ive been using Reds for the last two years and Im happy with them but was looking at maybe Rukus abec7s? What do you think?

Cheers

Rukos 7s are pretty much the same as Red, u can get Bones Swiss bearings in G1 for 45 euro at the moment i think, and theyre probably the best bearings you can get, ive been skating them since november and they're amazing!

THanks I might try out the swiss.

About the wheels... Wwhich are better for skating a pool 52s or 54s os somewhere in between?

I am using Black Panthers ABEC 3's on Independant trucks and Colin McCay 54's and they are amazing for me. Sooo smooth and fast...

Go with the swiss they've been around for years and still going strong. Because you'll be skating 'crete hold on to your old bearings and use them for street?? maybe!!!
I have a set of bones skatepark formulas wheel that i used in R+R(RIP) and a set of spitfires for street! Only takes 5mins to change them!!!
I'm going to invest in an old school board for skating at the park; better for my clumsy big feet!!!!

bowls = big wheels/wide ass deck.

Cool, Yeah I was thinking bout maybe just having t2o setups, my present one for street and a new one for the bowl, big wheels, swiss bearings, Royals and a nice old school deck.

royals are quite low are they not?
if youre gona get two setups try and get wide indys on the bowl board..

Not sure bout the height, Ive only ever skated with royals though, I swear by them. Ill look into something else though aswel. Yeah I prob will need something wider if Im getting a big old school deck and higher if Im using 54mm wheels.

I've only ever skated independants! Wait, i remember having a pair of thunder trunks back in the early nineties!! Indy's should be compulsiry with every set-up!!
