Rollerblade Wheels

[anarchy]

The wheels on my K2 Rollerblades are destroyed and I need to get new ones. I went to Sport Chek and they didn't have any for my blades.

Anyone know any stores where I can go buy some new ones?

Call Lloyd's - they do sell rollerblade wheels, not sure if they'll have what you want but they might be able to order something in for you.

If you can hold off for a couple of weeks definately check out eBay - I've bought my roller hockey wheels off of eBay for years...you'll get better quality wheels for way less money.

Specifically, check out the eBay sellers rattus and TGM_Skateboards - I've bought wheels multiple times from both - awesome sellers for sure.

Thanks for the tip Oilerfan. I tried looking up those sellers but they aren't selling wheels right now.

I checked my skates and the back two wheels are 84mm/80a and the front ones are 80mm/80a but none of these sizes are on ebay??

I remember checking back in the summer and couldn't find them either. Where can I buy them?!

I use this guy to get my stuff...he's good at answering questions and gets back via email quickly.

Get the 84a or 85a hardness!

Thanks! I just fired an email to him so we'll see what he says.

84a/85a? Is that a rougher ride but faster?
It doesn't matter too much to me, I mainly use them just for recreation purposes outside in the spring/summer.

an 84a or 85a isn't too much harder than your 80a's. The main difference is that they will last way way longer, with proper rotation of course.

that's an odd setup you had there. might just be how the blades are set up (anti-rocker position). you should be able to adjust that depending on the chassis. There will be a washer like piece inset on the frame with an offset hole for the spacer, you can rotate all of these in the same direction (usually down) and use one size wheel. (you can use one size regardless)
There's a few main different setups you can use, depending on your skating style and form.

definately go the ebay route.. it's cheapest.

rollerblading season is almost here!:clap:

Hey anarchy,

I think maybe you looked at the wrong spot? Maybe your settings are only to include Canadian sellers?

There are lots and lots of 80 and 84mm wheels...with varying hardness levels - maybe this link will work for you:

There may or may not be very good deals to be found (remember that shipping will cost you about $12) but you can explore around and look...I got a set of 8 roller hockey wheels for under $30 including shipping from TGM and they were the best wheels I've ever had.
