Chaning wheels
Question
I'm looking to replace the wheels on my skates. I play roller hockey, and as a defenseman, I was told that I should buy smaller wheels (58mm) to get lower to the ground and be more stable. I just noticed that my chassis are that of the high/low kind. Can I use 4 wheels all of the same size in these chassis, or do they have to be gradually smaller back to front? Thanks!
Answer
Not sure what you mean by high/low chassis.
I have seen hockey players with multiple different configurations; small to large, small-large-large-small, etc..
If you have large frames on your skates, smaller wheels will help a little, but maybe smaller frames are the answer.
I would ask a few more hockey players and see if they have the answer for you as I cannot make a great recommendation here as everyone does it differently.
