Re:Wheels - 23:03 13 Apr 08 Do they have to be 76mm?? 76's seem to be harder and harder to get

I used to love the Salomon Wheels they lasted so much longer than any other wheel I tried but they are getting harder to get hold of. Proline look like they still have some Salomon FSK 76mm/83a White wheels.

Other than that, Hockey Range have some Red Star and Decathlon have some own brand. I don't know what these are like though and be aware that wheel hardness seems to be like clothes, one manufacturers 84A is different to another's. The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.

Re:Wheels - 13:03 14 Apr 08 We were chatting about it yesterday when looking them up and i was wondering if they did have to be 76's? There where some 78 black ones which where harder, they should still fit shouldnt they? http://www.flickr.com/photos/17950423@N08/

Re:Wheels - 13:13 14 Apr 08 They are Rollerblade Twisters aren't they??... although I still have no idea! LOL

I have some 80mm (may be 79 now) in my skate bag. Your welcome to try and see if they at least fit! The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.

Re:Wheels - 19:32 14 Apr 08 My skates came with Seba 85A wheels. They're a bit slippy indoors, but great outside. You can get 80mm and 76mm from CBR Marble arch. It seems they are re-branded Hyper +grip wheels?: http://www.serpentineroad.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=28419
Beware of the cheaper Red Star wheels... I got some of the cheaper 82A ones. They're really slippy indoors or out and have worn down quickly...

Re:Wheels - 21:58 14 Apr 08 I might have some new 76s floating around that you can have. They're cheap, but will do. I'll have a hunt, although a lot of stuff is packed.. ! Skate Monkey !

Re:Wheels - 20:15 15 Apr 08 It's always worth rotating wheels to make them last longer
