[Thunder 148s](https://www.legacyskatestore.co.uk/collections/thunder-truck-co/products/thunder-trucks-pair?variant=42024922634) and [54mm wheels](https://www.legacyskatestore.co.uk/collections/skateboard-wheels) for now. ---

Or, Independent 144 trucks. And yeah, 54mm wheels will do the job. Spitfire Formula Ones will last you a long time. ---

Should have started with a shop board then. ---

How much was that board? Have you just blown a ton on the part you replace most often? Not sure there really are cheap truck options without getting something which is only going to hinder. Indy/Thunder/Venture/Ace seem to be peoples go to. Buy whatever is cheapest. ---

Trucks are pivotal… literally. ---

Yeah, you just spent a hell of a lot on a board. Supreme is a good company, for sure…but you probably should have spent £45-£55 on a regular board rather that a wall hanger. That would have left you money to buy decent wheels and change to go towards trucks. I take it you have grip tape? You’ll need bolts, bearings, wheels and trucks. What sort of budget do you have left? ---

Definitely not too old. Don’t buy boards off of Depop, though. Go to a skateshop (when they are open) or order from a skateshop online. Depop is a total rip off…You just paid double for what you need. I take it you have grip tape? You’ll need bolts, bearings, wheels and trucks. What sort of budget do you have left? ---

Trucks, Fixing Bolts, Grip-Tape, Bearings and Wheels to complete I’ll give you the bolts and grip if you buy the wheels, trucks and bearings from Legacy and if you use POSTSUCKS its free postage Get some £20 (picture) wheels, £10 (cheapshots) bearings and £50ish trucks look at venture 5.2, or film 5.25 for your deck width ---

Griptape usually comes for free with a board. I just ran through a shop local to me and picked up a pretty standard setup - but one which contains components you’ll possibly not veer from for the rest of your life. £166 total, including a board. So, basically £100. ![Screen Shot 2020-05-05 at 19.01.55](https://uksf-media.lon1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/original/2X/1/1012733d474ded2ee05737762c857dce02991c77.jpeg) Don’t buy off of De-fucking-pop. Edit: Just saw Rons post after writing the above. Legacy is a good store. Go there. ---

> [@PurpleCodinee](#): > > £100 You bought a Supreme board from a reseller for twice the price, and yet you want to get the cheapest trucks and wheels? Is this for skateboarding on or for Instagramming? Please be honest. ---

Think he maybe made a mistake not knowing the normal price for a deck, could get a whole setup for not much more… ---
