RollerBones Team Logo 101A Recreational Roller Skate Wheels (Set of 8)

The wheels are very good for my style of skating. I am heavy, 220 pounds, and the wheels are soft enough to provide very good grip yet hard enough that the do not drag. I enjoy skating rather fast and need dependable traction to avoid obstacles, these wheels are perfect. Very happy :)

I just received the wheels today. I noticed a hole on the bottom of one of them. I was sad because I really excited to use them this weekend and because I had paid for expedited shipping! Is it normal to have holes on your wheels?

These wheels were hard to put in on my skates, not because of the size or anything but it came looking like the wheels mold or the machine that cut the middle hole wasn’t sharp or hot enough (I don’t know) but it had rubber shaved around them. I had a hard time putting the bearings in because I had to clean those rubber shavings off. Still it looks ugly.

I roller skate at the rink so it’s absolutely perfect for the hardwood floors way easier to turn around now. Make sure to buy bearings and a bearing tool/press. I didn’t realize you needed one so I hammered my bearings in lol but the wheels and bearings still roll smoothly.

Definitely a good purchase. Im a beginner skater and my skates came with 87a indoor/outdoor but I mainly skate indoor . I bought these to roll faster and the roller bones bearing for a longer roll and I can feel and see the difference.

I was afraid at first, that they’d be too slick or pick up too much speed for my 51 years, but they make all the difference in the world! I used “Reds” for my bearings (you’ll need 2 eight packs), a nice smooth roll and all the control is on you. The wheels arrived two days earlier than expected and everything went perfect! New plates and trucks next!

Im not big on reviews..but I had to for these wheels..I was on my second pair of skates and was still not pleased..got me some Chicago skates because Im not experienced enough to invest a huge amount in some skates but someone said it might be the wheels. I agonized on which ones to order since Im working from no skating experience but read the reviews and got these skates and the Rollerbones bearing...man listen. Im gliding like butter on my skates..so glad I order these.. the new wheels and bearing was more than the skates and totally worth it.

So for $50 for 8 wheels this was a pretty good buy. While the purple photo shows a 98A on it, mine definitely came in with 101A on them like the title said. These were great for the skatepark. I had only ever had outdoor wheels with 78A hardness, and switching to these wheels gave a huge change/increase in speed in the park. Not a whole lot of slide but since Im not using these for that exactly, its fine with me. Definitely gotta break them in a little more but I think these were well worth purchasing.

I bought the 57mm and the 62mm 101A for indoor use. I like the 57mm better because they allow me to be more agile. The 62mm are faster but a bit too fast for an indoor rink.

Roll well
