Buy 80 mm wheels for inline skates
Wheels with an 80 mm diameter are a common size on recreational and fitness skates. They are agile, accelerate quickly and give a controlled feel on cycle paths and in the park. If your skates come with 80 mm wheels as standard, you will find suitable replacement wheels from Rollerblade and Powerslide.
Two wheels, different characters
The Rollerblade 80 mm wheel with 82A is a rather soft wheel. It absorbs bumps and offers good grip, which gives beginners and recreational skaters in particular a sense of security. The Powerslide Infinity 80 mm is designed for standard 608 bearings and therefore fits the bearings found in most inline skates.
When is it time to change your wheels?
- The wheels are visibly worn at an angle or into a cone shape.
- The skate becomes unsteady or slides away in corners.
- The wheels have cracks or chunks missing from the urethane.
Rotate your wheels regularly so that they wear more evenly. The guide Inline skate care and maintenance explains how to do this.
Moving up a size?
If you want more speed and smoother running, take a look at 84mm wheels. Whether your frame can take a larger wheel is usually stated in the manufacturer's specifications. You will find all sizes at a glance under Inline skate wheels.
