RollerBones Team Logo 98A Recreational Roller Skate Wheels (Set of 8)

These are something I wish I had purchased years ago. Smooth, good grip, but it slides easily on hard, smooth, and even concrete. Can easily roll over annoying cracks and pebbles! br>br>When I first began learning to skate, all of my resources advised that I begin with 78A outdoor wheels. So I did. I struggled to learn to skate on those jumbo jellies, and I was terrified of the advanced 98A hard wheels. br>br>After getting tired of my big 'ole outdoor wheels, I decided to purchase RollerBones wheels. With these wheels, I felt instantly at ease, stable, and capable of simple transitions and braking! br>br>I'll give you a call- For best 78A wheels, we recommend Radar Energy 57 outdoor wheels. But you can't go wrong with the RollerBones 98A for both indoor and outdoor use, not to mention the unbeatable price; I just wish they came in more colors!.

I bought these primarily for rink skating, and because the rink surface is polished concrete, I needed something that was hard and slick enough for some jam/shuffle skating with turns and spins, but also had enough grip to keep me in control. This is a fantastic, low-cost option. br>br>The colors are pretty accurate to the photos; I ordered the lime green and it's a solid neon lime, and it looks great with my royal purple Moxi Lolly boots. br>br>With these wheels, there are a few caveats, or things I had to do differently than with softer, wider wheels. I prefer my trucks to be loose with wide wheels because it helps with spins and crossovers, but I discovered that the smaller size required tighter trucks to maintain stability. It wasn't difficult to get the bearings in, but seating them all the way in so the spin was free was a little more difficult, as the front bearings required a little more prodding to seat properly. br>br>However, I'm pleased with these wheels in general. A good balance of grip and slickness, and $40 for a set of eight wheels is hard to beat. I only wish they came in packs of four so I could mix and match them; otherwise, I'll probably end up with four different color sets and mismatch them all, haha.

I ordered the purple 57mm 98a. Oh. My. Gosh. Fantastic wheels for skating on an indoor rink! They're such a good deal for the excellent quality of the wheels! They provide adequate grip while also allowing for a smooth slide. I still feel very stable, and I enjoy the slide because it allows me to quickly switch from forward to backward motion. As well as spins. I don't feel as "anchored" to the ground as I did with my previous 96a wheels. The speed of these rollerbones wheels is incredible. A long and quick roll around the rink requires very little effort. These wheels come highly recommended by me!.

To use at my local rink, I swapped out my outdoor wheels for these. The flooring is similar to that used in rollerblade hockey. It's a dream to use. It's not at all slick, and it has enough grip to allow me to do fast crossovers and keep my wheels on the edge. With little effort, you can go fast in these, and they come in a variety of colors to match your skates. These come highly recommended by me!.

Powell - The success of these wheels can be attributed to Peralta's urethane formula. These wheels have performed admirably on a variety of indoor surfaces, including unfinished maple, painted wood, and terrazzo epoxy tiling. The 98A wheels have just the right amount of bite and traction while also providing some shock absorption. This quality alone will increase your confidence and control, resulting in a more enjoyable skating experience. These wheels have a glass-like finish and are extremely durable. You don't have to believe me when I say that I've been skating for over 40 years and that these are my favorite wheels.

br>So far, these have performed admirably. They feel much lighter and more agile than the stock wheels, and I feel like I'm going faster and higher with less effort. br>It took me a few tries to get the bearings in straight (8mm reds), but I think that's just my inexperience since this is my first time changing wheels and installing bearings. So far, everything has gone well. br>br>.

These wheels are fantastic. My roller skates are basic. I wanted to upgrade my wheels so that I could have a longer roll and a little more control than I had before, and I knew I wanted RollerBones but couldn't decide which model, color, hardness, or diameter I wanted. I chose these after doing some research. I put these wheels on after replacing my bearings with Bones Redz. My skate is in incredible shape. The roll and length of the roll are better, and they are faster without requiring as much effort from me as before. My skating experience was improved thanks to these wheels.

I'd just gotten a new pair of skates from the rink, but I didn't like the wheels that came with them, so I looked them up and read the reviews before ordering them. When I first spoke with the rink's owner, she thought these would be too hard and slick for me, but I think they're fantastic! On the painted cement floor, they have just enough grip and slide. I'm comfortable with them, and they roll smoothly, and the price was excellent!.
