Choosing the Right Roller Skate Wheels

Roller skate wheels come in a variety of shapes, sizes, hardness levels, and designs. Here are some general guidelines for selecting the best roller skate wheels:

• If you're skating outdoors for recreational purposes, on surfaces like the beach or concrete, opt for fairly soft roller skate wheels around 78a hardness. These wheels are versatile and perfect for fun-filled skating experiences.
• For indoor skating, it's best to consult with fellow skaters or rink staff to determine the appropriate hardness level based on the rink's surface and any coatings applied. Typically, a durometer range of 92a to 100a is recommended for indoor skating.
• Consider your body weight when choosing roller skate wheels. Lighter skaters can use softer wheels, while heavier individuals may benefit from harder wheels. For example, a lightweight skater weighing 50kg/60kg or 110lb/140lb would typically opt for 92a wheels on a grippy floor. For skaters weighing 70kg/80kg or 150lb/190lb, a 95a wheel or higher is suitable. Skaters weighing 90kg or 200lb and above can consider a 98a wheel.
• If the skating rink has a slippery surface, softer wheels provide better grip, while harder wheels are preferable for grippy surfaces, offering enhanced speed.

Roller skate wheels are measured for hardness using the Shore scale. Harder wheels tend to have less surface contact, resulting in a slipperier ride compared to softer wheels. It's important to find the right balance that provides comfort and performance during use.

Two scales are commonly used for roller skate wheels:

A scale: used for urethane compound wheels

D scale: used for plastic compound wheels

These different materials require separate scales to measure their hardness accurately. Additionally, hardness measurements may vary between U.S. and European standards.
