The more you know, the further you roll!

Did you know that taller wheels are recommended when skating outdoors?  Think about a car – when you are closer to the ground, you feel more bumps, but not so much when you are higher up. Similarly, a taller skate wheel will roll over bigger obstacles with ease, while a smaller wheel will stop more easily when it hits something.  Not only do the taller wheels roll better, but they provide a longer/faster roll as a result.  

When skating outdoors with larger wheels, it’s not uncommon for the wheel to make contact with the bottom of the skate boot. Minor rubbing on the edge of the sole can happen, but normally will not cause a problem. With that being said, contact with mounting hardware could cause a problem.  If a wheel makes contact with the mounting bolt, the bolt will dig into the soft urethane and make a groove on the outside of the wheel. However, there can be an issue if the bolt digs too deeply into a wheel.  If this happens, the wheel will suddenly stop, and the unsuspecting skater will fly forward. 

There is an easy fix for this. Typically the skater can tighten the trucks, causing the trucks not to turn as much.  The recommended solution is to install firm cushions on the skate. Sure-Grip offers a premium urethane cushion, available in a harder durometer. By going to a firmer cushion, you will normally resolve any clearance issues.
