STF is a high-rebound urethane formula that is designed to resist flat spotting and provide a smooth, long-lasting ride.
Wheel size depends on personal preference and the type of skating you'll be doing. Smaller wheels (50mm-53mm) are good for street skating and technical tricks, while larger wheels (54mm-60mm) are better for ramps and vert skating.
Yes, Bones bearings come pre-lubricated with Speed Cream racing lubricant.
You can clean your bearings by removing them from the wheels and using a cleaning solvent such as rubbing alcohol or acetone. Once they are clean, apply lubricant and reinstall onto the wheels.
Bones wheels can be used for cruising, but they are designed more for skatepark and street skating. For cruising, you may want to consider softer wheels with a higher durometer rating.
