Replacement Wheels
Question
I have a pair of Inline Roller Blades that were given to me sometime ago. THey are in still good condition but I need to replace the wheels. I cannot tell the size of wheel I need since they are completely worn. All I know is that is is a Reebok Boot and own the wheel housing is ABEC 5. Can you help
Answer
Hi Brian,
It would be pretty hard to guess what size wheel came with the skates without seeing them but I'd suggest you take one of your skates to either a roller rink or retail sports store and they should be able to help you.
Most skates can handle a couple different size wheels, so see what they suggest and get the size you like. If you're skating for exercise get the largest wheel that fits your skate. You'll get a good workout and roll further for your effort.
If the skates have been sitting for quite a while, you may want to put a couple drops of light weight oil in each of the bearings. If you do the maintenance now, it will save you from having to buy new bearings down the road.
Good Luck......I'm sure one of those 2 places will be able to help you out.
