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

These wheels are great! I put them on my Moxi Jungle skates because the outdoor wheels that they came with were far too grippy and slow for the rink. The rollerbones glide over the floor like a dream! I can get up to a nice speed with minimal/moderate push. The 101a’s were slick at first, but they were quickly broken in and I was able to cross over etc. without losing too much grip. I was able to use the same bearings that came on the original 58mm outdoor wheels. (Had them pressed in at the local skate shop, I couldnt skruggle them on by hand) (...yes skruggle..) I didn’t think I’d love these wheels so much, but I do! These were a great investment.

1 year update review.These wheels are such a great deal for what they are. I’ve been riding the same pair for almost a year now. 90% rink and 10% park skating.These wheels are still rolling strong. With occasional rotation they have worn very evenly. Aside from horribly flatspotting one wheel during an emergency stop, I haven’t had any problems with them. They are a really hard wheel and you will feel it in your feet if the surface is not really smooth.I love the way they slide when I want them to and they do have a nice “bark” when doing hockey stops and powersliding through the corners at the rink. I would recommend them for anyone thinking of transitioning to woods or fibers. This wheel has just enough grip to maintain confidence but can still slip and slide when pushed.YOU WILL DEFINITELY WANT TO USE A BEARING PRESS TO GET THE BEARINGS IN (If you skate a lot, just buy one, makes life a lot easier.)

The pink is a hot pink which is exactly what I wanted. The batch I received had these little divots around where the roller bones is printed on the middle part of the wheel which in no way would effect the smoothness of how they roll on the wood floor. I gave it the full five star since that was just a cosmetic issue and wouldn’t have anything to do with the performance quality. They look fantastic on my custom Moxie skates! Just a little side note, I had to run these on the sidewalk so they wouldn’t be so slick, they worked perfectly after I this and had great grip on the wood skate floor.

I am part of a roller derby league that skates at a tennis court. The surface we skate on is like sand paper and really runs down other wheels I've used that are lower durometers. These are really great wheels for the treacherous surface we skate one and they seem to be sturdy and well made, I can even to hockey stops in these wheels. Surprisingly, for how hard the wheels are, I don't feel all the bumps on the surface. Some of my friends have mentioned that these work well for skate parks. Just FYI, I had to put the bearings in with a bearing press.

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 I'm not using these for that exactly, it's fine with me. Definitely gotta break them in a little more but I think these were well worth purchasing.

Love these wheels. They are like skating on a dream. I also bought the rollerbones bearings as well. Totally worth it. There's not much else to say other then I'll buy these again when my wheels need replacing.

I initially bought the 98A in 62mm which are fine wheels. But I wanted a little bit maneuverability and a little bit of slide, so I picked up this set of 101A 57mm and the ride is perfect. I can practice my (weak!) dance moves or I can fly around the rink with ease. We have a vinyl floor and the slide is nice and predictable. I can grip and release easily. These suit my skill level and I couldn't justify the price of the Art Elite. Yet ;-)

Tested them out last night at a rink with a hardwood floor. Wheels with a lower durometer tended to feel a little sticky at this rink. These wheels are FAST. I had to use very little effort to keep my speed up. Just note that wheels that are this hard will sometimes start to slide when you are doing really fast and tight crossover turns. I had to really dig in for my T-stops, too.
