Lately I was asked (for the thousandth time at least, I lost count) pieces of advice on skate wheels: What are the advantages and drawbacks of the different existing diameters, hardnesses, widths, materials...? Then I said to myself that it might be a useful article. So here it is!

| My fav' bout wheel so far... |
I will not give names of brands and models, simply because I don't know them. Even with inline wheels, I don't really know what is on the market because I tend to skate with what I'm given. However, I know how it works and once you've got the keys, it is just a question of logics.
I'm conscious that there are already millions of articles on the subject, that is why I am going to keep it simple, clear and sober.
There are endless options because there are as many different uses, needs, types and styles of skating...
You have to find your own recipe according to your feelings and your aims.
There is no truth, only your OWN sensations should prevail. Get tips from whomever/whatever/wherever you want, but in the end, choose for yourself.
