Blueshockey6 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2010 I'm looking for some wheels that will last awhile.. Has anyone used 82A wheels? I'm 6'2-240 so I tend to go through wheels pretty quick playing 4 nights a week. Thinking about giving these a shot..http://www.hockeygiant.com/rshrntwhl.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ground Zero 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2010 You should go with with Labeda's Asphalt wheels. What kind of surface do you play on? I'm 260 and play on asphalt painted with street Ice and the wheels hold up pretty good.http://www.hockeygiant.com/labasrolhocw.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thepandamancan 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2010 Those should be fine. It's what Hockey Giant suggested to a friend of mine who weighs a little less than you and we play on painted concrete. The wheels have lasted him well with proper rotation. Having a 84A wheel might give you more longevity, but you may run into grip issues after several games.

Go with 80A at the most.I was able to play on sport court with some old Kuzak Kontak 77A indoor wheels for a good 4 hours of play 3 weeks ago. Surprisingly I had no issues with wheels cracking/chunking or grip problems. I doubt that these wheels can be found anymore. Those should be fine.

After about 15 games my wheels start to crack down the middle and it's time to re-up and invest money on new wheels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most indoor wheels are between 74a and 78a Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
