How To Choose Skateboard Wheels Right

Introduction
  • Skateboarding is a popular sport among the
    youngsters. Skateboard wheels allow the skaters
    to move around with an amazing speed. Skaters do
    try to experiment with various wheels while
    skating. When it comes to choosing the best
    skateboard wheels, the choice depends on multiple
    factors, specifically the surface it will be used
    upon. Picking a new set of wheels requires you to
    assess these factors like size, the degree of
    hardness, diameter, durometer, durability, and
    colors. These wheels are usually made up of
    polyurethane as its structural material. Size of
    the wheel is determined by its diameter and the
    hardness of the wheel is assessed by its
    durometer. The interests of the skaters determine
    the selection of perfect skateboard wheels. A
    huge range of wheels are available in the market
    and skaters can pick up anyone depending on their
    skating skills and needs.

Bearings of skateboard wheel
  • The skateboard wheels and bearings are embedded
    into each other. Most wheels need a set of 8
    bearings. On both sides of the wheels core two
    bearings are fixed. To enhance the performance of
    the wheels most of the skaters insert a spacer in
    the middle of two bearings. Bearings come in
    different materials and price range. Beginners
    can also opt for cheap skateboard wheels that are
    decent in quality. Skating surface Another
    crucial factor while picking the wheel is to
    consider your skating surface. Very hard or
    slippery surface requires softer wheels as
    compared to softer or grippier surface that needs
    harder wheel options.

The weight of the Skaters
  • Though there isnt any set rule that describes
    the relationship between the physique of the
    skater and wheel size, it is vital for selecting
    a wheel. Every skater may need wheels with
    different durometer according to their own
    desires. In general, the higher the weight of the
    skater, more hard is the requirement of skates,
    simply because the bodyweight will put pressure
    on the wheels. The opposite holds true for
    lightweight skaters. Parameters like diameter and
    durometer might not create much difference for
    the beginners but as you master the skating skill
    choosing the correct wheel becomes important.
    Bulkier skater must choose larger wheel size
    unlike skinny skaters such as kids, who may need
    a smaller size of the wheel.

Contact Patch
  • Contact Patch is the area of the wheel that
    actually touches the pavements. For large
    longboards, one needs a bigger contact patch.
    These larger contact patches help in distributing
    the weight of the skater equally on to the board.
