My skates rock?!

[Loony 0]

I have '00 Mission Proto Si's and I just put new Hyper Razor Edge wheels on them. I was banging them on the floor checking to make sure the axles were on tight enough when I noticed the front wheel on BOTH skates is higher. It's like instead of my front wheel being a 72mm(HiLo 80/72) it's a 71mm. Is this normal? It's got the stock Mission Violator chassis.

Thanks!

The front wheel on the skate is off the ground by design to give a very slight rocker... There is nothing wrong with the wheel or the skate...

I see you work for Mission...cool! :P

Could you possibly explain the advantage to this? Thanks!

Do a search for rocker in the roller hockey forum and you should find plenty of info and FWIW I don't believe the newer Mission frames have the rockered front wheel anymore.
