LabedaAsphalt Outdoor Inline Hockey Wheels

The TLDR:These wheels will not hold you back, if anything, you will.The Long Summary (which I think you should read):Wow. These wheels and bearings are bliss in a package. I've had my old wheels for about 4 years so you can imagine the wear and tear. Grimy bearings, busted wheels, and gritty, noisy rides. I decided I needed to bite the bullet and invest in some new wheels and bearings- man, am I glad I got these.When I first got my package, I was dismayed to find out I had only received 7 wheels. I couldn't skate with 4 wheels on one foot and 3 on the other... believe me, I've tried and it's not too fun. Maybe the 8th got lost in shipping or was never put in the package in the first place. Nevertheless, I contacted the seller, letting them know I only got 7 wheels and asked if they could help. They got back to me in 2 days, apologizing profusely, promising me they would send me my 8th wheel ASAP. Sure enough, a few days later, I receive one single wheel, therefore completing my purchase.I assembled the bearings in my wheels, which was a breeze by the way, and installed them into my rollerblades. I went outside to test them out... oh crikey. They were amazing. The wheels glided silently. The bearings were well oiled. Not to mention the increase in speed. The time it took me to go from a static position to a fast cruising speed was cut in half to what I was previously used to on my old wheels. I had just enough grip on the pavement. My skating playground is the city- sidewalks, roads, cobblestone, ledges, ramps, you name it. The wheel hardness is just right for me to make sharp jab turns and not slide out but is slippery enough that I can easily switch into backward skating with ease. If you're a fan of jumping over things, on things, or down things, these wheels are the ones. I have never had any issues with sticking a landing. I've always felt secure, regardless of how smooth or rough the pavement is. For reference, I use K2 Sports Women's Andra's Fitness 2012 Inline Skates.I must admit, I was a little dubious of these wheels because I'd never heard of them before. I'm quite picky; I didn't want to dish out a big chunk of money only to be riding on some cheap, plastic wheels. I wasn't sure if they would hold up. Surprise, surprise- they have. I've had these wheels and bearings for about a month now and I've gone out rollerblading at least 20 times (two of those times in the rain). There are no cracks or signs of fragility in the wheels themselves and the bearings are doing a wonderful job of keeping out the tiny rocks and grime. Just thinking of these wheels makes me smile.Heck, I might just go for a rollerblade ride right now.

I've used my in-line skates for cross county skate skiing training on pavement for 16 years during the spring, summer and early fall. I estimate that I skate ski on my blades about 1,500 miles a year. Multiply by 16 years and I have about 24,000 miles of experience. These are the best wheels I've ever had! What surprised me is that they (80mm 85a) are both extremely durable and have fantastic grip (I do tight slalom turns, in one lane of the road down steep hills to control my downhill speed). (Speaking of speed, my GPS recorded a top speed on a recent workout on a very smooth bike path in the mountains of Colorado at 29 mph. Kinda scary, but my skates were solid!These wheels lasted way longer than other wheels I've ever used and I just ordered some more for next summer.

Installed these in March and it's now September and they are still in great shape (with of course rotating them about once a month) . Smooth on asphalt and long lasting which is what I wanted. Will buy them again when these wear down! I rollerblade about 45 miles a week so that should help as a guide to how much they are used.

Wow, what an upgrade! I knew my blades needed new wheels, but I didn't realize what a difference it would truly make. I only ride on paved trails or streets in LA, & as you can imagine these can be super rough or with many cracks. These wheels gave me a new found confidence with how smoothly they go over cracks or rougher paved areas along with how nicely they grip to the road. Yes, they're pricey, but totally worth it IMO. I bought these before they went on Prime and shipping was still very quick. Placed the order on a Monday & received them by Friday.

Amazing wheels. Much more grippy and are holding up very well. Pricey, but those who roll outdoors know that wheels are easy to shred, and I'm having trouble shredding these. I've also skated indoor rinks with these and they feel just fine (after some break in. I'm not sure I'd roll on an indoor floor with these before breaking them in a bit outside.) I've done one rotation so far in about three-four weeks, and they're due for another rotation. However, I feel like they'll last pretty long before I need another set. I'm unsure if I'll go with these or pony up even more for a more expensive set from another brand, but I'm happy.

Got to replace the stock wheels on new Rollerblade Zetrablade that wore out after a month. They grip asphalt real good, and like someone said, it's like skating on ice with wheels made of ice. I'm a new skater, first day at park on asphalt trail some lady says: "Good luck with those wheels, buddy." Knew I'd be in for a treat. Roll with caution first time on these, but once they've broken in you'll enjoy the ride.They glide great indoors at rink and brake real good using any of the stops. I think price is fair enough for the quality. But that orange! Can live with it but wish they'd come in white or gray to complement my skates. Pics attached. Two months in with rotation, they're good as new. I'd buy again.

These are better than the stock wheels. I skate daily and wore the stock ones down fast. I rotate wheels measuring the diameter with a caliper and keep a fleet of wheels (16 wheels currently) to pick from. I install them largest to smallest from back to front. I have to rotate them every 2 skating sessions on hills and ever 4 on flat trails. These tires hold up well to a lot of use and a lot of downhill and uphill with sliding stops and back and forth and sliding to decelerate on the way down a hill. Hills destroy wheels quickly. Also they are exactly 80.0 mm new with no variation, while other "80 mm" brands vary and tend to be 79.6 mm new +- 0.2 mm.

Definitely the best wheels have used in terms of durability and roll.
