Isles12 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 You can probably get the hardware(axles,spacers) at https://www.inlinewarehouse.com/Roller_Hockey_Axles__Spacers/catpage-SKRHAXLES.html Bearings really depends on what you want to spend. The bones reds are pretty good but a bit more pricey. You can probably just buy any cheap bearings, you can get them at inline warehouse, amazon, or a local skateboard shop. For wheels I need more info... indoor/outdoor, how much you weigh/what durometer? And if you're in the US or Canada would help as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are indoor/outdoor wheels so they might not work for you depending what type of floor you are skating on and how much you weigh. You will need standard 608 bearings for your wheels. And you'll need whatever axles your skates have. Should be one of these https://www.inlinewarehouse.com/Tour_Roller_Hockey_Wheel_Axles__/descpage-TWA45.html 47 minutes ago, Goalieinneed said: https://www.inlinewarehouse.com/Moto_Deluxe_Bearings_Singles/descpage-MOTODBULK.html will these bearings fit the wheels i mentioned above? Yeah they should work. I would assume they're 608 bearings... it would probably say if they weren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreadlocked1 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Go with the softest wheel possible that you can afford to replace at least 2x a year if you can. Disregard weight recommendations. I played with the softest wheels at 220+ lbs and never sacrificed bite from the most severe angles. I just remembered that I went with 2-3 72a or 74a in the front and 2 - 74a or 76a in the rear depending on what I could afford, or what was available, or which skate I had at the time. 5 wheels on the Tours, 4 on the Missions, which was nice when I upgraded. I also found a good deal on bearings on eBay verus paying for set through one of the online site. Better value if you find a good dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoalieInTheDesertYT Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 So this is what I ended up going with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wheel is meant for outdoor use(ie rough surfaces), so if you're using it on a smooth indoor surface it will have no grip. 2. You need two bearings per wheel. One goes on each side of the spacer.

MTH Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Not that this applies in Goalieinneed's situation... but I run two soft wheels in the front and two hard wheels in the back. I tend to push off more on my toes - and slide/ stop on my heels. So I found that the combination of both suits my needs. Actually, since I'm cheaper than heck, I only have three wheels in my skates today. Two front ones and one hard one in the back. I keep saying I'm buying new skates - so I don't want to spend any more cash on the old ones I still use. How old? This model old. How many inline goalies can say they are using Canadian made skates? I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And those are a classic haha I used to have the player version for road hockey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can. Me. Well, when I played inline. I haven't played inline since I started ice in 2011/2 though. I used these same exact skates but with Labeda Predator chassis. I have a BNIB set of Bauer 7000 skates that I will eventually move to when I need to and I plan on converting my current 7000s into my inline skates just in case I ever do play again. Will still be made in Canada when/if I do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
