When it comes to ceramics it's best to follow the manufacturer's specifications as they may recommend not using solvents to clean or specify using grease vs oil as well as when to clean. They'll also specify the amount of lube required & type. F…

They should spin a bit as there's very little grease in them. Just a few back & forth motion on your palm should create enough friction to get them to spin a little bit, even if it's only about 4 or so revolutions. Use a heat gun or direct sunl…

Bearings usually come pre packed with grease. What appears to be sticky glue would suggest an anti rust coating Oil wouldn't be the best idea especially if it's thin & watery like any engine oil. Even diff oil would get spat out pretty quick. Th…

Ok can't quote 404 error, what is this ametuer hour. Kick the website coders butt @muse To get seals off bearings use picks. I use dental picks. Or some other small diameter rigid pick

Never heard or seen that one. I have similar to what you describe ,however the indentations are on both sides to form a shallow valley on each side. These types of weird fastenings piss me off. I assume it's anti kiddie or to annoy people like me wh…

Boen make 7mm trucks & quick release & are available. It's possible the trucks will fit other brands as i 've seen it done on youtube. The only issue is whether boen will reply. I add that as i emailed them back in april to buy some skates h…

This is most likely why & should solve it. Basically your plates are mounted wrong , not by much tho https://roller.sk8.berlin/place-the-plates/ I'd also be inclined to have the plates farther forward .In my case 10mm from center of original mo…

Your a lucky bugger since your UK based i'd look at boen. I had a set of boen speed skates around mid to late 80's they were fine for outdoor use & a bonus was quick release axles (those axles apparently can fit other branded skates according to…

Yeah those wheels at 125mm are bloody tall & look insane. I'm not sure if i had inlines i'd want 125mm on them. I'm short & just like a hobbit i like being close to the ground lol

Ricardo is an ex speed skater . He also goes into wheels & gives pro's & cons of smaller vs larger wheels however i assume you've already looked into that. The few inline vids i've watched the norm appears to be 90 or 110

Decided over covid to get back into skating after a 30 year hiatus. My right butt cheek is now much better lol after going arse over kite landing full on weight on it. Now nursing after that unfortunate event 3 weeks ago a slightly strained right th…

Form doesn't mean anything if your fitness is sub par along with your level of stamina. The fitness side of things will take of your speed. The stamina part comes in for keeping up the pace to pass cyclists lmao. Ok admittedly it only happened the o…

Yeah they'll be fine & real fast. I've got a giant bruise & pavement marks on my right butt cheek to prove it lol. However like dvw mentioned soft for outdoors. It's been years since i lasted skated we use to use lipbomb which were narrow bu…

Is it too late to send them back & get a set of arius plates instead. The arius don't have that protrusion of the kingpin & nut as there isn't one. I've recently purchased a set that have 57mm softish crappy wheels lol & there is 24mm cl…
