That compound is soft! if you must run a compound that soft you will need as much diameter as possible to stop them dying when you stop skating, they won't have much in the way of roll i wouldn't think. Mind you, i've never skated a wheel that soft …

Facebook sucks! I don't have an account and frankly, anyone who promotes solely through facebook will reap what they sow. too many crazies on there..... If you do promote through facebook that's cool, just remember to post on forums too because most…

That second pic looks like you could almost read "HYPER" something on it? Cannibals maybe? Blue hubs are odd, maybe home anodised?

Maybe they didn't.....LOL You're right! They definitely no longer have that long nose, that's why i would have modded them, i do mount my boots forward, somewhere between "sport" and "Aussie" mount... Wifeys Raffaello's are the s…

didn't know they did a Giotto Wheel, my plates were definitely a toe stop plate, my hacksaw, grinder and dremel fixed that though... When i was looking for a quality plate for outdoor use there wasn't much around and EVERYTHING was toe stop, the wif…

"what is the flip mod? I run my Giottos both indoor and outdoor. I like them so much that I’m considering another set (shorter than my current 180 set) as outdoor-only." A flip mod is where you chop the casting off for the toe stop mount …

Never seen that contraption before, looks interesting, probably a doddle to use. I use this, saw it on the same amazon page you linked to https://www.amazon.com/Sure-Grip-Bearing-Press/dp/B014V0LNKU/ref=pd_lpo_468_t_1/146-3572046-3107467?_encoding=…

Yep, inlines may be faster but i grew up on Quads and they are Waaaaay cooler!

" The Roll Line Giotto's will also work well on a sport court or fairly rough concrete. Just don't try those in the rink." How come? I have a pair of Giottos that i have done the flip mod on, (i don't like/use toe stops) and they're mainl…

Yep, it has an end with a shoulder to pull the bearing from the wheel hub, and then a shaft to "load" the rear bearing, well and front bearing which you then close with a lever to press them together, in Australia they're about $40 so i w…

For outdoor use you don't want anything too expensive/fragile, as others have said i wouldn't spend on ceramics. Your best option is to use a specific skate bearing rather than an industrial type bearing like Bones Reds, they're cheap as chips and a…

I don't see any need to add weight to wheels by installing spacers, the hubs are an interference fit for the bearings and i for one can't see spacers making any difference at all. You can build any test rig you like and generate data to "prove&…
