Sturdy, sleek, sexy, something else that starts with an S.
Managed to build a great looking Sector Nine board for under $120 cause of these bad boys (got the board half priced because of some light scratching on the deck, incredible deal.) I see alot of folks complaining about the bearings (and a person or two whining that the packaging "promotes drug use" because it comes in a pill bottle, some people need to learn how to take a joke) and I can't really attest to their value - I bought a set of Bones Reds (shocker, as that seems to be the bearing of choice.) Everything else involved in this set works way better than I expected (another sentence contained within parenthesis because that seems to be a thing I'm doing alot of right now.)Seriously, for $40 this is a great deal so far. I've only gotten two hours of riding in, I've seen some reviews about the wheels chipping, but they seem pretty sturdy to me. Great amount of softness to them, but still sturdy enough. One minor flaw is that once I got the kingpin tightened just the way I wanted it, the washers by the bushings started rattling. I really don't mind, some new bushings would probably fix the problem, but some people might get annoyed by it (like the types of uptight people that leave 1 star reviews for products that they claim "promote drug use." I'm sorry, I'll be nice now.)Haven't ridden in about 15 years and I was cruising parking lots at my job with very few problems within 30 minutes cause of these awesome suckas. I'm a security guard, please don't tell my boss I was skating on the job.

NO BETTER SETUP THAN THESE
Amazing setup. I have made 4 long boards by hand, and have reordered these wheels for every one because of some key reasons.TRUCKSThe trucks feel real and solid, and have held up to being grinded on metal and left out in the rain.WHEELSThe wheels are AMAZING. They are grippy to the point where I'm not scared about them skidding out from under me while going 20mph+ around turns on asphalt. I am able to do 180 slides on them, but I don't think they are made for sliding.BEARINGSThese are FAST. I've done spin tests with kids around the neighborhood with their $200+ boards, and these bearings spin as well as if not longer than their expensive ones.The bolts and screws and such hold up as well as any other, nothing special there. I would reccommend spraying these with some zep45 if they start to slow or rust (I have left these out countless times in the rain, zep takes care of anything) which you can buy at a home depot. Also, if you scrub the wheels, the "yocaher" logo comes off pretty easily, which can be good or bad. I'd say if you are building a longboard, there is no better setup than these for the price.

Nice Wheels.
Did I know what I was buying when I picked this combo package. Yes/No! I loved the color of the wheels, and to be honest I had no idea what I was getting into.Years ago I told myself I was going to buy myself a long board. This dream was crushed once I visited a custom board shop. I knew I could get a cheap board online, at the department store, or at the local mall. I was drawn to solid wood longboards with exotic wood.So the idea was launch to build my own!Everything about the trucks, wheels, and parts was everything I needed. It was a small learning curve to install properly but it was goer lived and I was off riding.The ride is smooth, and it is very comfortable. The only downfall I came across were the screws. They were to small, so I had to buy some longer screws.My kids love the board, and now they are asking for longboards to ride and hang out which is pretty cool.After searching high and low regarding price, I think this is a good buy. I am no expert. I am a 40+ year old man reliving his youth.My board and wheels.

Worse than I thought.
I got these as a set of cheap hardware for a longboard that I was selling. The product was worse than I thought that it would be. The bearings spun poorly. It may be that they will loosen up with time, but for now, they suck. The axles were not evenly seated in the hangers on the trucks, so there was extra space for one wheel, and on the other side, barely enough room to fit the wheel and the nut. The risers that came with the set are fine, but they are hard plastic. the bolts seem okay. I would not recommend this set. For the quality and price of this product, I would just buy a whole cheap longboard and use those parts. They would probably be better than this.

Better than expected from $40 kit
It's better than you'd expect from a $40 kit. It's not wonderful, of course, but it is undoubtedly one of the cheapest, easiest and fastest ways to get your longboard road-worthy.PROS:Mailed and delivered quickly. And well-packaged! Everything was in good shape when I opened the box.All of the pieces included, and exactly as described. This was apparently a problem with some of the other kits advertised on Amazon.Mine came with a free sticker (yay!)CONS:The bearings don't roll as well as my other ABEC-7s. They're also incredibly difficult to get into the wheels, and I ended up denting the inside piece on several trying to wedge them in with the skate tool.The screws aren't long enough to go through the board, risers and trucks. I have to get longer screws before I can put on the risers and I'm getting wheel bite until then.

Good except for the bearing
The bushing are fine (they are not too hard)Everything else is fineExpect for the bearings. I would still buy the kits and buy other bearings. But the bearing are so bad I don't even know why they bother including themWheel are a bit on the hard side, but they are okaySome were so badly made that one of them had the side fall of almost on it's own.If this is a gift and you want that person to not like skate/longboard. These are the perfect bearing. They roll hard. They are off center, they feel like rock instead of balls. The grease they come with feel more like glue than anything else.

Great buy, small issue with wheels
Overall impressed with the product, great set up for the price. The trucks are solid and bushings seem to be updated since the comments I read previous to buying, much softer than I expected. Bearings are also better than expected. I would probably rate the entire product and experience a 5 star but as you can see in the picture a wheel has cracked I believe it’s an impurity in the wheel as I have only ridden a few times since receiving product. Out of the box the wheels seemed good quality and have ran smooth until this slight disappointment.

Excellent Trucks and wheels, unusable bushings and throwaway bearings
These are very well manufactured trucks. Bushing seats are better manufactured then some brand name trucks. The included bushings are total garbage however. They are hard like a 103a street wheel. Put some 80a riptide fatty bushings boardside and a 80a venom barrel road side and these are as good as a truck twice its cost. The wheels are generic but do the job as a cruiser wheel. The bearings are the usual horrible 10 cent Shanzai specials. Let's be honest here you are getting the trucks and wheels for less than the cost of what trucks normally cost there's going to be filler in here.

Quite Decent
Put these on my skateboard deck to make a sort of hybrid short-longboard (a shortboard if you will) and they've been pretty good so far. The kingpin rattles a bit when it's not super tight but for adequate turning it's almost required they be so loose. The rubber wheels are also missing small chips and few sizable chunks, though this only affects the aesthetics of the board and not the usability (it's an old s***ty board anyways though so no points off for that). They offer a soft, quiet(ish) ride and are pretty adequate. For the price having everything you need but a screwdriver and a deck makes this a pretty good choice for a casual boarder like myself

5 Stars
Obviously not the best quality but for what you pay for its great! My brother is just starting to longboard and he was looking for trucks and me being me I said I would check amazon! and I found these, installation was pretty easy and the barrings and wheels are great! The trucks came a little bit too over tightened but thats nothing a few tools can't fix!
