With every deck change, or just re-use it till it breaks?

Sometimes I re-use old ones and sometimes I buy new ones. I buy new ones around every second or third deck. I have a lot with me when I skate though, so I can change them if they break.

With every deck change.
That's the benefit of living in a 1st world country. Ya can get new hardware for each deck ;)

I rarely change hardware, actually.
I just have like 3 full sets, and if some break, I just get an extra one.

The only time I ever change hardware is if I get a new complete. I have never had any of my hardware break so I've never had to replace any.

I've had the same deck for 3 years, so I haven't really changed any of my hardware. My bearings are good, my autobahns are fine and I have spare pigs, my trucks are beautiful, and overall I love my setup. No need to change nada.

Hardly ever. I change hardware every time I buy a complete board which isnt that often

i always change hardware when i get a new deck since it only cost a dollar extra to get new shorty's 1'' hardware

when 2 or more break. I like colored shortys hardwear :)

i never even knew that hardware could break you must have to skate pretty hard

i never knew hardware could brake? either your pushing the 200 pound mark or your using your skateboard for more than just skating.

I change it when the tips start to cave so you always knows you can always take it off again, which ends up being every 2-3 decks. Plus I'm cool with the guy at the local skateshop and he usually just gives it to me for free

when it breaks, or doesnt stay tight

until they stop turning...so i've had my reds for quite a long time. But i think i should replace them soon. haha

I usually just change them when they break, i have like 70+ pieces that i have gathered over the years though. I always keep a lot of extra stuff with me in case something does break. I hate trucks that shake on the board, its annoying and ****s me up.

whenever i feel like having new colors.(like once a year)

never had to replace my hardware

i usually just re-use them, but obviously if i get a new complete i'll get new ones then use those from there on out.

I buy hardware with every new deck.
I mean its 2 bucks.
Changing stripped hardware sucks...

Does anyone know the difference between SHorts, and Shorty's "Lil' Hardware"? Besides $2 in price difference?

I've noticed that the "Lil" hardware has bigger heads on it, which I like. Seems like I can tighten it more.

Anyway, I'm just blabbing about details now. I gotta shuttup and go skate tonight.

I never strip my hardwear, so i can go along time until they break.

I just replace them with every deck change because I never have any problems with them normally and when I get a new deck I just think "why not?" because... well... it's a new deck.

I change it when the head of the screw wears out. Shouldn't really happen, to be honest - would it kill them to make it out of a tougher metal? Meh, I guess better to mash the hardware than your screwdriver!

BTW, surprisingly enough you can buy hardware in hardware stores on the cheap. Just bring in a spare nut and screw to show 'em and you're in.

when i buy a complete or until i cant tighten them anymore cause they got striped lol

when it breaks

when i lose one cause i like having all the same size hardware

when it breaks or every 5-6 decks

Mainly when I feel the need to have new hardware.

When it breaks or falls off

When I break my deck.

I have like 3 or 4 sets so whenever one of the screws breaks or gets stripped i replace it.

lol I havnt switched my Independent hardware for more then a year, exept I think for one bolt that fall off.

I dont see any reason do switch them exept for falling off/breaking,
and good hardware mostly dont break.
