Speed Skating Wheels

[-Mark Kuhna]

So I was browsing around google the other day and came across of bunch of sites that sell speed skating wheels, there were a lot of 100mm 85a-89a wheels that were spoked metalcore. Has anyone tested wheels like these before, and If so could you give some feedback on the wheels you tested? I'm wondering this because they sell wheels for very cheap. (Sometimes as low as $5 a wheel) And thought it might be a cheap alternative to expensive wheels. Feedback is very much appreciated, Thank you everyone.

Some sites that sell wheels:

Cores on these look really weak. So you will either have to never ride flyout and be super smooth or hot glue the core.

In my post I wasn't necessarily pointing at those specific wheels, but speed skating wheels in general.

I agree with Kyle about some of the wheels. But if theyre that cheap, give them a try.
I remember when i first got into riding I always wanted to try the Matter wheels, but then someone told me the cores werent solid, the big bulky part of the core is hollow apparently.

I know what you mean, but speed skating wheels in general are fairly weak. They might make good temp wheels though.

Wouldn't a wheel such as this, 93a, be extremely fast because of the hardness? I'm not that great with knowledge on scooter wheels..

Someone should test these out. I'm interested in seeing how these compare in speeds to Eagles. Mabye I'll get some.

I'm pretty interested in seeing how they compare too. If you ever do a review please tell me If I had some extra money I'd be some but im short on cash right now :/

Gyro wheels were strong ish then the cores bent and warped.
Most speed skating wheels are too weak, but feel free to test some out, they're normally fast as hell.

they have agent oranges and green machines on there omg lol

Sadly only 90's though

 

[nitroRCs]

If you hot glue the core they should last a bit longer..

 

[matr!]

Use gapfiller, but get the good shit though. You can get this selleys shit that sets really hard. Great for filling cores and keeping the wheels fast

[Garrett B]

[Rob.]

Matters are hollow.
also:

it's warped.

I demolished these.

 

[matr!]

But rob?

What about hotglue/gapfilla?

Really depends on the rider. I only ride speed skate wheels. I have the AM Wings on my current scooter and they are my favoirte wheel. I don't like metal cores and don't have any need for them. Note I don't ride street either.

110mm 85a is my favorite size and firmness for wheels.
