Smaller Wheels?
Hi :-)
I have K2 Alexis Boa skates with 84 mm wheels. They are good for distance skating, but I think the wheels might be too big for me.
When I compare ice skating and inline skating, I feel like I just can’t move properly on the inline skates. I can cross my feet, but it feels horrible. I can hardly skate backwards, and I can’t do backward crossovers at all. On ice, I can do that for hours.
Can I simply get new wheels?
What might be a smart wheel size for me?
Some background:
I’ve been ice skating and inline skating “all my life”, but unfortunately I took a ten-year break during adulthood and started again two years ago.
I’m also not an expert on skating tech, but since I know how to clean my skates, I guess I should be able to change the wheels without doing any damage ;) I’m just really lost when it comes to what would be right for me.
Kind regards,
yfb
