I have aggressive inline skates and i need new wheels?

is it true that the bigger the faster or the smaller the faster

I have aggressive inline skates and i need new wheels?
Bigger is faster, but does it really matter on agressive skates?





Don't fall for ABEC nonsense. ABEC has nothing to do with speed and is only tangentially related (in the same way that price is) to quality. Some of the best bearings (Bones, TwinCam, ZeroDrag) are not even ABEC 1 rated.





If you have a specialty store locally, talk with the people there about the wheels that they have. The big box sports stores (Dick's, Sports Authority) rarely have knowedgeable people or parts that are on the better side of the middle.





Otherwise check out www.inlinewarehouse.com or www.skates.com
Reply:if you are a good inline skater you will want to get new bearings (5's or 7's) and gel wheels (not rubber or plastic) be wary of the 7 bearings if you do tricks, they dent very easily as for the "smaller" or "bigger" wheels go with what feels the best but you will want to put at least 5 bearings in the wheels itself if you plan on jumping and 7's if you just skate and go fast. you can find the bearings and other items at most sports locations and you will most likely need some oil too if they aren't pre-oiled and make sure to switch your wheels inside out (out goes in and in goes out) for maximum length every month i think it says on the package along with oiling your bearings and cleaning them out every month depending on usage you may want to do it every 2 weeks
