About Shorty's

Shorty's is a California hardware brand, founded in 1991 by Tony Buyalos and April Hamrick around one simple idea: deck bolts that are the right length. It later ran a deck program with a team that included Chad Muska and Peter Smolik, before stepping back from decks in 2006 to focus on hardware.

Today Shorty's is best known for its deck bolts and bushings. Its bolts are half threaded to resist bending and snapping, and they use a smaller countersinking head that puts less stress on your deck. It is simple hardware done properly, which is why so many shops and skaters keep a set in the bag.

FAQs

Do I need 1/2" risers?
If you're running big cruiser or old-school wheels, around 60mm and up, or very loose trucks, yes. Smaller wheels usually only need 1/8" to 1/4".

What length bolts do I need?
With 1/2" risers, run 1.5" to 2" bolts. As a general guide, without risers 7/8" or 1" suits most decks; with 1/8" risers go 1" to 1.25"; with 1/4" risers 1.25" to 1.5"; and with 1/2" risers 1.5" to 2". Go to the longer end on thicker decks. You want the nut fully on the thread with a little bolt showing, but not so long it sticks up through the baseplate.

Allen vs Phillips bolts, which should I use?
Either works with these risers. Allen (hex) bolts are easier to tighten without stripping the head, while Phillips heads are the classic option and use the screwdriver on most skate tools. Pick whichever matches the tool you carry.

Will they fit my old-school board?
Yes. The double hole pattern lines up with both old-school and new-school deck and truck patterns.

How many in a pack?
Two, one for each truck.
