My 12 yo has recently gained an interest n learning to skateboard. I have a board already, but its trucks and wheels are rusting out. I would like to replace them with new ones, and I wanted to ask what would be good (economical) trucks and wheels to get?

The current trucks and wheels don’t have any branding information that I can see.

    If budget is a concern, cleaning old bearings can go a long way. Soapy water, followed by a wd40 bath, followed by some 3-in-1 oil, followed by thoroughly wiping clean and dry, can make old bearings feel much better.

    But bearings are pretty cheap so it might be worth it to get new ones.
