Board has problems rolling...

[AnthonyFromMacedonia]

Hi guys whatsup i ride a cruizer board and i wanna start skating. I recenetly bought a $20 No Fear Skateboard Which had really bad Bearings and truck but i replaced them with propper skateboard trucks and ABEC 5 bearings but my board doesnt really roll lot when i skate it and its really really loud. I dont know whats the problem the wheels are not too tight and they spin great when i lift the board up, but when i skate it they just dont go. Are the wheels too hard or something or what? The surface i skate on is regular street concrete. Can someone help me? Cheers!

The board is set up 100% correctly. I think the problem is that my wheels are plastic. I think they are. They are loud and dont roll well. When i hit them from the ground they almost cracked. Do urithane wheels feel the same as plastic?

Nope. Found it. It was the plastic wheels

Yeah those cheap boards come with terrible components, even as a first set up they're no good.

The decks are also very poor quality so would recommend getting that changed as well as soon as possible.

Welcome to skateboarding!
