Inline hockey wheel question?

im skating on labeda grippers that are white with a white core and they say "soft" on them. What durometer rating is that? Is it 74/75/76 or 78?

I think Labeda switch to this language to stop the confusion between size and durometer. You are skating on 78a perfect for those playing on SportCourt. If you want more grip (but less speed), go to the X-Soft





X-Soft is 76a


Soft is 78a


Medium is 80a





Hardness recommendations based on Player's weight:


For play on indoor tile surfaces (ie Sport Court):


170 lbs and below = XSoft


Over 170 lbs = Soft





For play on smooth concrete or wood floors:


170 lbs below = Soft


Over 170 lbs = Medium
Reply:“Durometer”





Definition: A measure used to describe the hardness of inline skate wheels (and all kinds of other things.) The numbers go from 1 to 100. The higher the number, the harder. ... The word "durometer" comes from the name for a device used to measure hardness. ... You will find two numbers on your skate wheels. One is the wheel size, the other is the durometer rating. You can tell the durometer rating because it is the number with the "A" after it. ... Inline wheels are usually between 85A and 100A. Softer wheels wear down quicker but give better handling because they stick to the pavement better. Harder wheels last longer and roll faster.











From the above, it should be printed or stamped on there
