Inline: Wheel Set-Up

Wheels setup
If you want grip, you should consider a 5-wheel setup. A 5-wheel skate offers you: potential grip, skate length, less deviation of the skate during hard pushes. A 4-wheel skate however, has a short wheelbase, is potentially lighter and offers the ability to skate with higher cadence particularly when accelerating. The particular new Hi-Lo setups – 100, 84, 100, 100, for example, allow 165mm mount boots to use 100mm wheels, and provide the low deck height and control of the 84mm/165mm mount skate with the short wheelbase and large diameter wheels of the 4-wheel, 100mm skates.
