Rotating wheels

[theone96 0]

I am an ice guy who has just picked up roller hockey. I was wondering how do you rotate the wheels? Do you just flip them over?

^^ If you understand that then that is what your skates look like now(its supposed to be 2 skates) lol, im not even sure i understand that! :D

But you need to do this to them ONLY if you have the high low chassis with 2 different size wheels eg.72 72 80 80

The idea is different positions for the wheels will vary the ware on the better.

So if the writing on your wheels is facing outside once they have been rotated they must be facing inwards(so not fliping is involved)

At least thats the way i do it

Thanks

I do have the Hi-Lo chasis. That makes sense.

I do mine like this:

[1]-[a]

[4]-[d]

[3]-[c]

But it's just easier to do it that way and the only wheel I wear out unevenly is my back right one. So occasionally I'll move it over to the left skate.

For outdoor wheels, I go: (and usually after one or two skates)

My indoor wheels on sportcourt, I usually just flip outside to inside on the same space, and might rotate:

Every once and a while.

haha, wow, all of your methods are very complicated

i simply switch my wheels around so that the face that was on the outside then faces inward

lol yeh i couldn't think of another way to explain it

but if you do that then generally your rear wheel shriks loads
