Need Some Help

[chilaxin12 2]

I've been playing ice hockey for all of my life, I have become the occasional roller hockey player and this summer I plan on playing a lot more roller hockey and I'm skating on some ancient missions that need to be replaced. I plan on buying some ice boots to use but I want to know everyones recommendations as far as wheel bearings and chassis. The rink I normally play at is sport court, and I would only be using the skates indoors. I weigh 190lbs. I'm looking for a set up that is good both performance wise and on my wallet. Thanks

you shoud give sprungs a try and i favor rinkrat wheels. a abec 9 bearing should be fine also.

For wheels I would go with rink rats I use the hotshots. And as for frames I would try the Labeda Hummer frame or since you have played ice all your life the Sprung frame.

the hummer will require dremeling some of the footbed out to fit the wheels

If you're not looking to spend a lot of money, you can use the components from your current skates along with an ice boot.

What kind of skates/bearings/wheels are you currently using?

As long as the chassis aren't bent/cracked, they're reusable.

I think i'm going to go with some sprungs mounted to some flexlite boots with some of those rocknrons bearings, does anyone have a good recommendation for a wheel and a good hardness to use for playing on sport court?

76a hornets is what i use but it depends on yuor size and weight.

Given your size is close to mine and my personal experience on Sprungs, the Silver Hornets (78A) are probably the best bet.

I'm also right about your size, and on Sprungs - been using 78A HotShots and I'm happy with them.

Rink Rats are good, but I have found the Rivisions to be better!

Same grip but more consistant, and last longer.
