- Опубліковано 2 лис 2014
- Eventually, inline skates need to replace wheels. Sometimes you can get larger wheels, or maybe you want smaller wheels? Do you even know what wheel size you want or need?
IW is here to help clear up the confusion and let you know how the wheel size will affect your skating.

Wow you explained in such a good way
Perfect explanatory! Finally easy to make sense of all them wheel diameters
Thanks for the video, I am a new beginner and it helps me a lot. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
Omg. Thank you for putting this on here!
really easy to understand thanks a million !
I'm learning so much! Thankyou. I don't know why more people take up skating?
Is there much difference in the feel of 80mm vs 84mm? I just purchased some 80mm skates but I’m thinking I maybe should have gotten 84. I’m a beginner to inline skating but have been a competitive figure skater for 15 yrs so I’m not totally unskilled
OMG..it's very helpful to me..I love u
Since this video there now is a lot of triskates out ther with 3 wheels on each frame. This has allowed for more folks to enjoy larger wheels (speed, getting over bumps/cracks easy)... While still using a short maneuverable frame. No longer are large wheels on 4x100 and 4x110 skates, but now you have 3x100 and 3x110. Skating 3x100 is WHOLE LOT easier than skating 4x100. Just some added info. More info on 3-wheel advantages on our site. Link below

Very well explained.
I need a combination of speed and manoeuvreability ( my priority being manoeuvreability ). However, I don't want my skates to be slow either. Should I go for the 90mm wheel size?
84mm even. I came from a roller hockey background and enjoy the 4x84 setups the most as they get me good speed, but I can control as they are similar to my 4x80 hockey skates. 4x84 or 4x90 would be the sweet spot for manevuerablity and speed. Now there are triskates too.. 3x100 is surprisingly maneuverable as the frames are so short. It similar to that of a 4x90. Triskates are super fun and easy to skate since the frames are shorter than 4 wheel frames, wheels maintain roll better since they are larger, and they also get over cracks and bumps easier (smoother). So don't shy away from those, especially a Powerslide triskate who has them more dialed in than some other brands that are now following their lead. Thanks for watching! InlineWarehous.com
Would be nice to have a follow-up video. Things have changed so much in the past few years.
I'll get it on the docket. Thanks for watching,
i got the black with red lining exo 4 wheel blades and today my right side back wheel busted allllll up and the third one is soon to bust. i was wondering if u know any good wheels i got the K2 78mm80a or if i should just buy new blades.. ? i want to go faster as i travel long distances after working out . what would you recommend ? im not looking to buy the 110mm maybe 90mm as i said i would like to go faster but dont know if the wheels would bump or even fit together . please help
Thanks
Does the same rule apply to motorcycle wheels too?
I’ve had the same pair of skates for like 12 years. I don’t use the brakes I use my front wheel by turning my skate to the side. I free skate so jumping and mid/high speed. Which wheels should I get?
What is your wheel size and I can get some recommendations your way. If 80mm, check out the Rollerblade Supreme Urban. Linked below if it works. Fuller profile and durable at 85A. No wheels can withstand the t-stop as it grinds them away pretty good, but these are good. The Hydrogen Urban also good. www.inlinewarehouse.com/descpage-17HU.html
www.inlinewarehouse.com/Rollerblade_Supreme_Urban_Wheels_80mm_85A_8pk/descpage-0684.html
Powerslide Spinner wheels (new version) on their way and not on site yet. They are high end wheels built take on sliding and freestyle urban skating.
Are 4 x 100mm good?
I have used inline skates a few times at a roller rink and I'm ready to buy a pair of my own. I'm still a beginner but have been getting more comfortable with inline skating at least at the rink.. I'd really like to use them more for fitness outside (we have a nice 'rail trail' by where I live which would be perfect) and just general use and to occasionally go to the rink with the kids. I'm thinking 80 or 84mm. I was wondering your thoughts?
80mm probably more enjoyable in the rink. 84mm more enjoyable outside. Smaller just easier to navigate and bigger better top speed for longer/straighter skating. But you can get away with 84mm inside too, it just a little more cumbersome is all. Many 84mm wheels are harder to withstand outdoor elememnts. 80a good for indoor where you want harder for outdoor. K2 has some soft 80a wheels in both sizes I believe. Thx
@@InlineWarehouseFitness Thanks for the reply! I suspect the skates may see a bit more outdoor use than indoors as I want to incorporate inline skating with my workout. I was looking at the Rollerblade Macroblade 84's. From the reading I've done so far it seems Rollerblades are a little kinder on folks with wide feet (I wear a 10 1/2 wide shoe.. still trying to figure out what size skate I'd need... looks like maybe 11 to accomodate the wider foot?). I see they come with 84a in terms of hardness, which appears to be durable for outside as you've said. Would I / should I swap in softer wheels for the odd time I might bring them to an indoor rink? Or can I get by with how they are setup for a few hours of doing some ovals & dodging the occasional 10 year old that wipes out directly in front of you? Thanks again for your detailed reply! I SO am loving the fitness prospect of inline skating!
@@james1787 11.0 would be my recommendation and those are good ones. I would try the wheels and see how it works on the surface. Hard wheels can slide on certain surfaces whereas they hold up better outdoors. Soft stick better indoors and as they grip more, will wear down faster outside. harder is faster as well. But try out first and go from there. Thanks for watching
I'm from Paso Robles, and I recognized this area (0:34) to be Avila Beach! I looked you guys up and your in SLO?! :D
Yeah! We sure are! Right off of South Higuera!
Awesome! I'll have to stop by sometime!
+Inline Warehouse - Fitness I bought 90mm inline skate and I m beginner so can I use 80mm wheel in 90mm frame n later on again I can use 90mm wheel.. plz suggest me.. is 90mm wheel frame compatible for 80mm wheel.??
It's not recommended since it can cause the brake to engage while skating and can also allow debris to get caught between the wheels since there will be large gaps. If needing to try a smaller wheel we would suggest 84mm wheels but even those can cause the same issues. Have you tried the 90mm wheels yet? Starting slowly with those guys and taking your time to learn may be your best bet!
Hello, I currently have the Twister 80 2015 and the top speed on them sucks going down hills. I'd like to have a faster skate butt I don't want sacrifice the maneuverability of my shorter frame. Any recommendations?
The Social Virgin I would try a 4 × 100 frame
Check out the new triskates. You can go 3x100mm and have frames that are no longer than you 4x80mm. Powerslide has the most to offer in triskates right now. Sorry for the late response :(
Is 80mm wheel with 82A good? Plz reply because i am going to buy skates for me
Yes. Different brands will perform, feel and wear differently even if at the same 82a. Just like bearings, not all ABEC7 will perform the same. But 82a is a good hardness for outdoor skating.
Awesome video, thanks!
Informative and concise, just as UA-cam should be.
72-110 mm
small:
easier turning
faster wear
faster acceleration
slower top speed
big:
slower turning
slower wear
slower acceleration
faster top speed
Does 82mm are ok for beginners? I haven`t skate for about 10 years so i can say I'm a beginner again and I'm finding hard to stand and move without breaking my neck .I`ve got a pair of Rollerblade Fit now and they are still in the box.Help!
82mm will be fine. There aren't a lot of skates coming with 82mm wheels these days so I'm curious as to what you are looking at. 80mm is where skates start out these days, with 82mm not being much different. You then just want something supportive and comfortable while you learn. Pick a flat surface. A good tutor is Asha.. Look up skatefresh in youtube and you will see some good videos to help learn to skate.
82mm is fine for beginner. You'll do fine! Find a flat surface and take it easy as you get your skate legs. You'll have a blast!!
please tell which skates are best for rough roads
Large wheels are best for rough roads to smooth it out and get over cracks and bumps more easily. Off road SUV skates use tires if doing real rough, even off road. But skates with 90-125mm depending on your leve. You can go larger on wheel size if doing 3x skates rather than 4x. Meaning 3x100 will skate like 4x90 and have the benefit of getting over rough surfaces better.
Can you use the same bearings size with different wheel sizes?
Yes. All wheel sizes use the same bearing size. Years ago there was a micro and standard hub wheel, but the micro is all but obsolete. So the standard hub is all you see now.
hi
is "surface contact with the road" a good thing?
It depends. If looking for stability and grip like freestyle and/or trick skating, more surfact contact wanted. If looking for speed, a smaller footprint or bullet profile is used to have less contact. Less contact generaly allows for more speed. There then of course the differences in urethane and engineering as high-end wheels work to have great speed with little surface contact, while also maintaining grip.
@@InlineWarehouseFitness hmm thanks for the reply ill keep that noted haha
Which wheels are good for racing purpose?
MPC and Matter are the two leading race brands. Wheels can get very expensive on the high end side. Black Magic and G13 wheels for example are great racing wheels.
wich is best for TOTAL beginners?
Smaller wheels are typically best for beginners as the speed stays controlled, the deck height is low (stable) and the skates are supportive. So 80mm would be a good size if your first pair and just starting out (if looking at fitness/recreations skates). Thanks!
+Derby Warehouse thx! damned then... just bought 72mm... oh well... i buy bigger when i have learned the smaller one´s
You should choose the smaller wheels of 80 cm because they are stable and eazy for breaks and very nice for the begginers and i also purchased the smaller wheels inline skates and i am also new at inline skates and i purchased it at first time and your question was so good please read the answer carefully thankyou
Overlooked 125mm all together... (Did they not exist in 2014?) I'd better not mention my 150mm Roadrunners!!
Late 2015 I think it was when they came out. We have the 150mm roadrunners here at IW. We also have the GRAVEDIGGER 200. That's right baby.... 200mm air tires. :)
I don't know that they'd fit in my Kaze SUV frames. (Which is what I put the Roadrunners into) Pretty sure it was you guys who just sold me my Roadrunners anyway. Forgot a spacer in the order.
If my rollerblsdes came with 84 mm wheels csn that frame support 76mm wheels as well ?
Sorry for the late reply. They can, but I would not recommend. It would leave a large gap between the wheels and also make the brake not able to work. But you can....
@@InlineWarehouseFitness thanks for the info !
So do you recommend 80mm? I have my rollers but about 6 year no taking it. It means l will have to start as a begginner and lm a bit ove weight...
Pls tell me that are 100mm wheels are same as 110mm wheels?
If not pls tell me the difference
The main difference is obviously the size. With most 100 and 110 wheels, they tend to be poured with the same hub sizes, so in those instances, the 110mm may have more flex, but that's not a standard design. Really it just comes down to having a frame that supports the wheel size. If you can go 110mm, you should go 110mm.
Inline Warehouse - Fitness thx for that and I want too buy 110 mm or 125mm wheels skates at the lowest price available .Pls help me with out
If heading to our Inline Warehouse - Fitness site, click on wheels and use the filter on the top left of menu. You can select 125mm and see all in that size and shop by price then. Or 110mm or whatever. Best to view the wheels so you can pick the ones you like. Thanks!
Stan Chaves I live in India and my wieght is 85kg and I want to buy skates 110mm inline so if I gonna buy from your sites will be they reliable to hold my weight if I jump or do stunts and I am buying them for long and speedruns about 10-20 km so will be they good enough . I am national lvl skater and most of my friends say that online stuff is not good,sorry but I didn't mean to say that your site is not good but I am just asking and my budget is till 280-290$.so pls awnser all my questions sir thx. Pls recommend me a perfect match.
my wheels are 62 mm and about 15 years old is this a good size if im getting back nto skating and how do i know what size my skates can go up to
62mm sounds like an aggressive street skate as that a small size which is typical for trick skates. If skating for fitness, recreation or transportation...You will want to get somethign with a much bigger whee (80mm + depending on skill level and environment you are skating). As to how big you can go, frames often say the max size on the side. If not, then you can eyeball how much room is left not just between wheels, but above so they don't hit the bottom of the boot. Most often skates using small wheels like 62mm, do not allow for much bigger wheel sizes if at all. You may have to change the frames so that you can skate bigger wheels, assuming you have removable frames. If not, new skates altogether. Give us a call for help beyond that as new frames with wheels are avaialble, but you can also get into new skates for around the same price. Thanks.
Inline Warehouse - Fitness well I do have verry small feet so they are kids skates but they work well
Consider getting adult skates as you will be amazed at how much better they will feel. Larger wheels maintain the roll easier, and get over cracks and bumps more easily. I'm sure we have some in your size. Check out the Powerslide Bionic at 3x110. Sounds scary, but shor triskate frames are easy to skate..
they sound good but my feet are so small that they fit in the second largest kids size so im not sure they will be in my size
What is your foot measurement with socks on?
Can I fit 84mm wheels on blades that came with 80mm wheels originally?
Very few skates that come with 80mm will allow 84mm, but there are some. The frames would have a max wheel size printed on the side. If an older model that doesn't have the print, then likely it wouldn't work anyway. You can almost visually tell as well, as there likely not 8mm of room between your wheels as it is, telling you that larger would not work :( Sorry.... If having removable frames you can get a 84mm frame to put on.
@@InlineWarehouseFitness the reason I ask is I'm a beginner but I do have a sports background and used to ice skate and play hockey, but long ago.
I want to get blades that will last me and will be fun, so I'm looking at 84mm cuz I'm worried about 80mm not being enough after like 10 outings and I want to spend a couple hundred. Will I handle 84mm or should I just go with 80mm and not worry as that will give me a couple years fun?
No. Not unless printed on side of frames that max wheel size is 84mm which is for very few 80mm models.
@@freethinker4liberty You'll be able to handle 84mm fine. I'm a roller hockey guys as well and 4x84 or 3x100 is where I have the most fun.
Do they all have the same thickness?
Yeah... They are all pretty much 24mm
Thanks for the information It's really helpful. My style is I love speed but I need to be able to stop in 2 quick turns (Kind of like a " ? " shape).. I bought 100MM blades & absolutely hate them, the speed is alright but the control is absolute crap & I skate in the city, so when I get to an intersection I need to able to stop quick.. I feel like 80mm would be too slow for me but would you say the 90mm wheels would be too big? I'm considering 84mm too. the ones I'm looking at are .. 5th Element Stealth with ABEC 7 & 84mm... Rollerblade Macroblade 90 with SG9 & 90mm .. & Rollerblade Macroblade 84 with SG7 & 84mm .. sorry for the wall of text but I'd really appreciate your input
MikeMcD Are you skating 4x100? You would be pleasantly surprised with 3x100 as mobility improves greatly. Of those mentioned, the RB models are superior in quality to 5th element so I would go there if sticking with 4- wheelers. 84mm being more maneuverable of course so it just depends on what more important. Triskates have short frames where 3x100 is shorter than some 4x80 even. Next 100 for example are only 10”!! Fun, fast and able to carve it up.
Yeah I was using 4x100. First off thanks a lot for replying so quickly! I've never even considered Triskates but now you got me digging in & it seems the carving capability they offer is definitely there & worth a shot. I just watched a video on the 2018 Powerslide Hardcore Evo's & mann I'm intrigued! Only thing they are like $500, do you recommend any 90MM Triskates a little more cost efficient? I think I'd like to start there as I really wasn't too fond of the 100mm.
@@MikeyTripz 3x90 would be good. Use TRYIW10 and get a discount when you decide. The evo and the tau are very stiff and responsive urban/slalom type skates. Definitey can carve things up with those. Expect a snug fit by design. Skating with 3 wheels is great and it doesn't feel like you are on 100's when doing so.
I have 76 wheels
Are they good for fitness or slalom?
In short, it can be used for both and more! Recreational and slalom skating are the two most common uses for 76mm wheels in today's market but some people will still use them for fitness type, long distance skating as well. The best use for a 76mm wheel is better described with it's profile and hardness as they will be specialized for a specific skating type!
+Inline Warehouse - Fitness thank you very much!
You're welcome and thanks for watching!

hi.i am new to skating and just want to know what's the biggest wheel size for a inline skate.
Biggest wheel size is 125mm right now for urethane wheels. 150mm for off road SUV Nordict skates, but those 150mm wouldn't fit on a traditional inline skate. So 125mm is the answer!
What about 78mm rollerblade wheels
All of the same information applies. 78mm is no longer a very common wheel size so if 78mm but if having a question let us know. InlineWarehouse.com
Today we have 125 mm wheels
2021 the years of vegans driving monsters drinks that they throw fruit smoothing into the gas tank to work. XD
Dude.... give more than smaller and bigger.. give me some mm details
