Re:Wanted; more wheels! - 23:38 03 May 05 I'm surprised as you got your skates after me (I think!) and I'm still on my original wheels... and you had hockey wheels in for a while!!

Anyway, What sort of spec are you after? Really cheap that you can change more often or more expensive that should last longer?

A very quick search on the web and the cheapest by far were Proline, still expensive when buying a lot though!

Re:Wanted; more wheels! - 07:24 04 May 05 I got some well cheap ones from kateskates.co.uk. Purposely cheap thouhg, the quality wasn't great. Good enough for inside though. They get mashed really quickly outside as I discovered at the weekend... ! Skate Monkey !

Re:Wanted; more wheels! - 08:23 04 May 05 I would advise caution when buying cheap wheels!

If you remember, last year I put some cheap wheels on my K2s and couldn't believe how much slower the skates were. I thought it must have been the bearings so I put my good(ish) bearings with my cheap wheels and they were still slow. The only solution was to get some good wheels! (which I then trashed at Eastbourne

) Any married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing

Re:Wanted; more wheels! - 00:51 11 May 05 Just found this info on another forum.

Lidl are doing a Skate wheel set that includes:

4x Transparent high rebound 80A PU wheels
8x ABEC5 quality chrome steel bearings
4x Aluminium spindles
2x Hexagon keys

Price per set - £5.99 (While stocks last)

£11.98 aint too bad for a (cheap) set of wheels, bearings and accesories!! Hmmmmm, new LCD screen for £150 or new PC (inc LCD) for £250, hardware is so cheap! - Twitter Status
