Which inline wheels should I get? what sizes?

I don't need bearings. I have mission hockey skates with two differant size wheels. Which sizes should I get? what kind and where do I buy them (website). I recently brought them out for workout purposes so I won't be indoors but on typical sidewalks.

Which inline wheels should I get? what sizes?
If your hi-lo chassis takes an 80mm wheel, I'd go with those in the back and 76mm in front. If the chassis tolerance is lower, go 76mm in the back and 72mm in front.





Get at least an 80A durometer (wheel hardness) if you're skating outdoors (up to 84A or 86A if you weigh less than 170lbs). I always used Hyper wheels and never had a complaint. You should be able to find decent selections at hockeygiant.com or hockeymonkey.com





Both these outfits have stores in Southern California and service the inline hockey community.





Good luck.

Reply:if you are skating outside, make sure you buy harder wheels, soft wheels will wear down quickly if you are skating on streets/sidewalks.





Its probably smarter to buy larger wheels as well because they wont get caught up in cracks and pebbles, etc that you will see outside.
