This was very good. But...the big factor you left out was body weight. The wheel durometer rating is offset by lighter/heavier skaters. I weigh 210, therefore when I use 82a, they grip like a 78a under a lighter skater. Thanks.
Hi Noam, for sure weight is a factor. Thank you for pointing it out. i should have mentioned it in the video. hope people read the comments and see yours!
@@Boomy2nicce nahhhhh we love all skaters! They aren’t 🐈🐈⬛, some people just need much more stability and of course the dancing moves people can do on quads, not my cup of tea, but undoubtedly more suited for quads than inlines
for the street it is best to take 92a / 95a, e.g. Dead - Team 58mm / 92a, they also facilitate cess slide and to the skatepark 88a 89 / 09a (max) :) The most comfortable ride for me is the Hyper - Shroom 66 mm / 92a - :D Flat the harder the wheels are, the longer their service life will be. The harder PU compound is more resistant to abrasion and wears much slower when driving or when braking or slides. the harder the wheels are, the less grip they will hold. Hard wheels, when driving, touch the ground with a smaller surface, which significantly reduces their grip. harder wheels are faster. Less grip resulting from greater hardness has a positive effect on the speed of the wheels, by reducing the rolling resistance. harder wheels dampen vibrations much worse. The comfort of driving under uneven and rough surfaces in wheels of lower hardness is much greater, thanks to a much better shock-absorbing property. :)
Cyclists tend to lower the pressure in their tires when riding over rough asphalt because softer tires absorb the small bumps better and you end up cycling faster than with really hard tires :/
This video is incredibly detailed. I was running the original USD Aeons 72mm 88a, which were smooth and fast. Love them! Threw on some cheap 72mm 90a and they are horrible. Like you said no friction, that's exactly what it is, which I couldn't figure out until I watched your vid. Time for some wheel shopping. I wish they sold original Aeons 72's separately, gotta find a different pair. Great vid, man!
This is the first video that cosigned how I feel about softer wheels. Most websites and diagrams will say the harder wheels are better for rough concrete but I live in Brooklyn NY and the softer wheels are much better for city streets and rough concrete. 58MM x 88A is my go to wheel for aggressive city skating
4:37 the opposite is true. Instead of rolling over a pebble which takes energy (more bumpy), a soft wheel eats the pebbles as if rolling on flat (less bump), that's why soft wheels actually roll way faster the more bumpy the road is.
I just wanna skate outside on the driveway for fun, but my wheels (78mm, 78A) feel really slippery, and not as easy or hard as my old childhood skates, basically, I don't want to skate for speed, just for fun.
I have 90a's and i skate on a rink, it is impossible to get them to slide but i could do it with the rink skates which i think have a lower hardness. With hard wheels they seem to grip onto the surface more, build up energy and then bounce ur feet up and down rapidly, i would compare it to scraping your nails down a chalk board but more so in how it feels. Lower hardness wheels will slide smoothly though on that surface. My point being that lower hardness is better for sliding, then again it might depend on surface, 90a's are probably better for sliding on street surfaces.
agreed.. i like super soft wheels (labeda for example) on the rink and then i like 85a outside. looking to try some 88a soon outdoors. def have to try softer for indoor and harder for outdoor
I'm curious what hardness is typical for sliding? I'd assume there's a threshold where it becomes very difficult? and maybe if it's too hard it's super slippery?
I have impala inline skates with 70mm 84a durometer wheels (also fits 72mm wheels) and Abec-7 bearings. I find these very difficult to skate on streets or asphalt. What would you recommend swapping them with to have a more comfortable experience with street skating? Hard to find a smooth open space in my city that isn’t restricted.
Really informative! One thing though - Our understanding of affect of hardness on speed has become more nuanced since this video was released. At least the latest thinking in bicycles for instance is the opposite. Where once racers would inflate super skinny tires to 110psi or higher, now they are running wider tires at 65-75psi. But it is true -To a degree - a harder (higher bar/psi) tire will equate to more speed UNLESS the surface is not very smooth (which is most of the time!) On rough roads a softer wheel will be faster. Why? Because the upward acceleration of the skater's body when a hard wheel rolls over a bump will slow one down more than a wheel that absorbs those little bumps. This is why speed skating (and track cyclists) can get away with super hard wheels and why no one but a masochist (or a kook!) should use a 95A wheel on rough asphalt!
What is the besr wheel for durability ? I heard that hard wheels tend to lose their quality after a while and get really really noisy while soft wheels stay relatively unchanged over the time and have a better preservation. This question is also directed to other youtubers or people reading the comment. Thanks !
Thank you for your graet videos! Why the number and size of the contact area affects the grip? What exactly is a grip? what do you meen by thet and how do you measure it? Is it the same as friction? Friction is just the coefficient of friction times the normal force. The size of the area in contact doesn't affect the friction force, why doe's it affect the grip? Thanks
i live in the country and don't want to spend money on gas just to go into town to skate. The roads aren't bad but they are a little bumpy. what type of wheel hardness is going to last the longest? I'd like to skate a bit every evening but I'm not going to if it means that I'm going to have to replace my wheels after a weeks worth of skating sessions. Or does wheel hardness not effect how long they last?
Harder wheels means increasing in the A? Or decreasing cuz im confused af and some ppl saying the 95A is faster than 85A and some ppl are saying otherwise im so confused everyone is saying different stuff who would i believe
In this case, I might need a soft set of wheels for the rough roads here in Nashville. I’m researching because I started on some really crappy beginner skates and they are killing my arch and I can’t roll on these rough roads. I can’t even get going enough to balance. I literally roll a foot and hit a pebble or a hole and fall over lol
I know I am 1 year late, but try to have one foot further to the front and the other more in the back. This way you don't have the center pivot point and no matter what foot gets stuck, you can always catch yourself with the other. 🙂
@Thissoul the roads we have in my country are not so smooth IDK weather it is a matter but what kind of wheels should i take so that the Irritating sound it creates decreases in a large scale and doesnt decrease my speed?
I don't think "A" scale is for Albert. There is A, B, C, D and 0,00,000 etc. apparently 12 scales in all. His middle initial is "F". Maybe he didn't like his middle name.
From what I'm hearing, there's no right answer. It's preference. Outdoors, some stores recommend hard wheels so they will last. You may prefer a softer wheel for a smoother ride and accept that you'll have to replace them more often. I would. Indoor: Do you want grip or slide? Wife and I just started going regularly to an indoor place with wood floors. I'm running 76mm 82a, 4 wheel skates. They're fine. Pretty grippy, not sure if I can slide to a stop. Not sure I want to risk an ankle trying it. I'm about to buy some light up 85a's. Hoping I'll be able to slide with them. The magnetic spacers slow the wheels down as they generate electricity for the lights so I might only light up one or two wheels per skate and use the stock spacers for the remaining wheels so I don't lose too much speed.
Hi there, loved your videos, very helpful. please help me with this question. im using Powerslide next 100 skates and it comes with 88a wheels, its very hard but i actually learnt to power break on these wheels. However, i find the lack of friction also cost me acceleration when im pushing, sometimes i feel like if i had more grip, i could push harder at every stride, gaining more speed. So, im looking at buying some new frames, 110mm with matter wheels, and im thinking if i should i get 88a or 86 hardness wheels, id like more grip, but i dont want to lose the ability to power break. PLEASE HELP!
The hardness is not a factor in how quick it cracks. The actual quality of the wheel is the reason here. watch this movie to learn more www.thisissoul.com/blogs/hardware-insights/everything-about-wheel-compounds
I skate mostly indoors. Recently I switched from a 74a/76mm wheel (which had more grip) to a 76a/72mm wheel no has less grip. Should I go back to a 74a or try a 72a
this has been an awesome and very comprehensive break down of wheels but i still have a question, the wheels behind you have what looks like one width, a width that would accommodate aggressive inline skates like roces rollerblade and k2 brand skates. but when i go online to order more wheels they look like the kind of wheels that would accommodate wheels you'd find at like walmart, like a more recreational skate. when shopping for wheels what dimension should i use to get aggressive inline skate wheels?
Hi DOC, the width of an inline skate wheel is always the same. It is an universal standard for all types of skates. Only the diameter can vary. What diameter wheel would work the best for your aggressive inline skate is determined by the type of frame you have. 58mm is a very save diameter and will fit in all aggressive inline skate frames.
He uses lots of extremes. The speed difference between hard and soft wheels is not very significant at all. The same thing is true about the idea of skating over a pebble with hard and soft wheels. In this scenario the size of the wheels plays a much bigger role (bigger wheels overtake objects better that smaller wheels). The things he is saying are true, however they are not as noticeable as he makes them seem. So don't think that you can't skate fast unless you have harder wheels (that's more up to the quality of bearings and bigger wheels help with speed too), and don't believe that you will struggle with pebbles only because your wheels are hard. If you have small wheels you will always struggle with pebbles (I'm a triskate guy (3 wheels) and the smallest wheels I have are 100mm so pebbles aren't as bad for me as others). Again, he's not wrong. But it's not as extreme as he makes it sound, and I'm sure he didn't mean it that way.
Man I think you miss to investigate about types of hardness, there are many types of it, and you need a different device depending on what you are measuring, is no the same to measure silicons, rocks, orgánics, there are different scales like SHORE A, SHORE 00, SHORE 0. Etc I think rubers are SHORE 00
A little helpful but it would have been nice to discuss the numbers as they relate to each category. Also, the background music was annoying and completely unnecessary.
Thats not true.. absorbtion makes u faster.. ofcourse up to a pont... if u skate on a round and u feel ur wheels are bouncing up and down a little.. it is much better to have softer wheel that absorbs inperfections of road to get more speed. It is the same for road cycling and that i know for a fact!! If something pushes u up it slows u down.!
You don't need to explain how a hardness measuring tool works on a bannana and your hand. You needed to show if it actually shows the number that the wheel company says they are. Obviously that did not matched or else you would have shown the results on camera :) Don't bring up that measuring tool if you are not going to show the measuring results of the wheels. Every one saw that. The rest of the video is fine, just it is clear you are stating hardness numbers from the info on the wheels and not actually measuring them.

I love this video and you want to thank you for it. So thanks and I will be making my wheel purchases from your shop.
good overview, would have been nice to hear the factors that play into wheel wear, and how to choose based on hardness / riding style.
How about wear out time on different hardness?
I think softer wheels wear out faster
Yea could be mentioned for people who dont understand that soft materials like a rubber wears out faster than plastic.
I'm curious what hardness is typical for sliding? I'd assume there's a threshold where it becomes very difficult? and maybe if it's too hard it's super slippery?

Hi DOC, the width of an inline skate wheel is always the same. It is an universal standard for all types of skates. Only the diameter can vary. What diameter wheel would work the best for your aggressive inline skate is determined by the type of frame you have. 58mm is a very save diameter and will fit in all aggressive inline skate frames.
