Skateboard Parts & Hardware

Essential skateboard accessories to keep you rolling

While the deck and trucks get all the glory, the "small but mighty" components keep your skateboard moving. At Skate Warehouse, we stock skateboard accessories like precision bolts and cushions that hold your setup together. High quality hardware ensures a rattle-free ride and provides the structural integrity needed for heavy sessions.

Customise your truck performance with new bushings 

Your bushings are the urethane components that dictate how your trucks turn. Swapping factory hardware for premium options from brands like ABEC 11, Enuff and Tracker can change a stiff setup into a highly responsive carving machine.

• Barrel bushings: Provide more surface area for stability and resistance, making them ideal for high speeds.

• Conical bushings: Feature a tapered shape for a deeper lean and sharper turn, perfect for technical carving.

Selecting different shapes allows you to fine tune your skateboard accessories to your exact weight and riding style.

Choosing the right hardware and mounting kits

Selecting the correct bolt length is vital for a secure and safe setup. Standard 1" bolts work for most traditional skateboards, but you must account for any extra height added to your trucks. If you are installing riser pads, 1.25" or 1.5" bolts from brands like Mindless or Choke are necessary to ensure the lock nut has enough thread to catch securely. These skateboard accessories are essential for preventing your hardware from vibrating loose while you ride.

The importance of pivot cups and tubes

Maintaining your truck health is essential for consistent steering and board feel. Pivot cups are vital skateboard accessories that often get overlooked until the ride becomes unstable. Worn-out pivot cups from brands like Independent or Ronin can cause metal-on-metal grinding and sloppy turns. Replacing these small components is a cheap and effective way to make your old trucks feel brand new again while protecting the lifespan of your hangers and baseplates.
