Three Configurations Of Roller Skate Wheels

Configuration method:

All roller skates have more or less differences. From the design of the roller skate body to the configuration of roller skate bearings, they all have their own different characteristics.

The most important difference among the different families is the difference in the gametes of the roller skate wheels. Here are five common wheel configuration methods for roller skates: Flat Dearessive (BANANA of frame) Banana (banana wheel) Hi-LoSupHI-LO

1. Flat

For most roller skating players, this configuration of roller skates Flat is the most common. The characteristic of this configuration is that 4 wheels touch the ground at the same time, and the roller skate wheels can have variable diameters, but the diameter of these roller skate wheels must be uniform, otherwise it will not meet the name of roller skates Flat. Currently the most popular configurations of roller skates Flat are as follows: 80/80/80/80 and 84/84/84/84. The advantage of this configuration is that it has better speed and stability. Great lightness and dexterity.

2. Degressive (BANANA of frame)

This design with forward decline is mainly due to the design of the roller skate rack. For roller skating shoes, this so-called roller skate banana rack is the basic configuration. The characteristic of this configuration is that the most front wheel of the roller skate is off the ground, and the other three wheels touch the ground at the same time. The advantage of this configuration is that when the center of gravity of the foot is forward, the last wheel is released, and when the center of gravity of the foot is backward, the front wheel is released. , of course, the most popular roller skates Degressive configuration is as follows: 80/80/7272 and 87676. This configuration is lighter and smarter, which is conducive to emergency stop and turn, but also has its disadvantages: lack of speed and stability .

3. Banana (roller skates banana wheel)

This configuration of roller skates with banana wheels is mainly used by flat players. In this configuration, the two wheels in the middle are slightly larger than the roller skate wheels at the ends. This configuration is beneficial to reduce contact with the ground. The currently popular configuration schemes are as follows: 78/80/80/78 and 76/80/876. The advantage of its configuration is: the roller skates at both ends are flexible and light, and the disadvantages brought about at the same time are the lack of speed and stability. Think about it, it is used to play flat flowers.
