7/8" Phillips Grip Tip

7/8" Phillips Bolts

• Slappy Grip Tip bolts feature a textured top surface for extra grip.

The Slappy 7/8" Phillips Grip Tip Bolts (Single) from Slappy Trucks. These 7/8" Phillips-drive grip tip bolts mount your trucks to your deck with a head your tool actually grips. Run 7/8" hardware on a standard build and 1" if you ride risers; if you keep stripping heads, switching between Phillips and Allen drive is the move.

Slappy sells its parts individually on purpose - you replace the piece that wore out instead of buying a bag of things you did not need. It is the cheapest way to keep a good pair of trucks feeling new, and the reason an ST1 setup can outlast several decks' worth of skating.

A good rhythm: give the setup a once-over whenever you re-grip. Check that hardware is snug, listen for squeaks that point at the pivot, and feel for slop in the turn that points at bushings. Five minutes with a tool keeps small wear from becoming a dead truck mid-session.
