Wheels

The best wheels depend on where and how you skate. Softer wheels provide better grip and absorb vibrations on outdoor surfaces, while harder wheels offer more precision and responsiveness on smooth indoor floors. Choosing the right wheels improves comfort, control and overall roller skating performance.

Wheel hardness is measured using the durometer scale (A). Softer wheels, around 78A to 85A, are ideal for outdoor skating. Harder wheels, from 88A and above, are better suited for artistic skating, rhythm skating and indoor sessions. The right hardness depends on your roller skating style and the surfaces you roll on.

Slades and Iconic Rolling Parts are equipped with 62 mm wheels.

Premium Rolling Parts can accommodate 62 to 64 mm wheels.

All Flaneurz Iconic and Premium Rolling Parts are fitted with ABEC 7 bearings, while Slades Rolling Parts come equipped with ABEC 5 bearings.

Most Standard Roller Skate Wheels are compatible with Flaneurz and Slades Rolling Parts, provided they match the required dimensions and axle specifications. Always check the product description before purchasing to ensure compatibility with your setup.

Replacing your wheels is one of the easiest ways to customise your Detachable Roller Skates. New wheels can improve grip, speed or comfort while keeping the same Rolling Parts. Pairing new wheels with quality bearings can also enhance performance.
