FILA SKATES Children's Wheels Set for Skates

Skate wheel set, size: 8 x 80 mm / 82A.

• The features that make FILA Wheels stand out are its production process, the quality of the materials, the diameter, the hardness, and the profile.
• PRODUCTION: Polyurethane cast wheels instead of injection moulding in PVC. The better the polyurethane, the more durable, faster and better performing the wheels will be. The degree of rebound a wheel provides is a key element to understanding the level of quality of a polyurethane. Wheels with the best rebound provide the best performance.
• DIAMETER: Wheel diameter affects many factors. Small wheels offer faster acceleration but a lower maximum speed. They allow for a lower centre of gravity and are more nimble when changing direction. Beginners usually use small wheels (80mm). Large wheels accelerate more slowly but allow for higher speeds and more riding comfort because they absorb ground vibrations better.
• HARDNESS: Hardness mainly affects grip and wear resistance. On smooth, slippery surfaces a softer wheel (78A) is ideal, while on asphalt a harder wheel (85A) is preferable.
• PROFILE: Wheel profile has an effect on functionality. This elliptical profile is ideal for fitness training and high speeds. Quads use wheels which are smaller (so they don’t interfere with the shoe when turning) and wider. All this is interconnected with the technical characteristics of the chassis, steering truck, and style of skating.
