Question regarding wheel sizes - Mission Axiom A4 skates

[tehxero 0]

So I'm looking to buy the Mission Axiom A4's. My old pair of missions used the 72-72-80-80mm Hi-Lo setup (can't remember the model of those skates, they were black with a red/silver design). The A4's come with 76-76-80-80. I have a few sets of spare indoor and outdoor wheels from my last pair of skates that are brand new but are 72-72-80-80. Will I be able to use the spare 72mm wheels in the A4's, or do I need to replace those wheels with 76's?

No, you will not be able to use the 72mm on the new skates.

i had the same issue as you. i didn't want my 72mm wheels to go unused. so i skated 72-72-76-76 in order to use the 72mm wheels up. you can use any combination that will fit provided the diametrical difference between the front and back wheels is 4mm. 76-76-80-80 is just the largest that will fit.

Check if your local shop stocks the exact wheel that you have in 72's and maybe they would do an exchange for a 76. I would do that for people when they would ask me. Otherwise you can shop them around the rink to see if anybody is looking for a set. But what Willy said would work too.
