Roller Skating / Quad skates / Inline Skates 4s and 3s

I believe so and more efficient effort wise, hence covering more mileage. I also want the challenge of uneven ground.

Tactile paving at pedestrian crossings for instance. I’ll have to hop over the potholes on the road though 😂 and most customer reviews have been

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

However, on the streets they will get alot of punishment, wear and tear. I will need to pay attention with wheel replacements / switching middle and front wheels was recommended from a buyer.

My recent purchase has a wheel hardness rating of 82A which is very high, hopefully I will manage.

Also I read that these skates are prone to dial wire lace breakages if set too tight, the type of wire lacing you find on some cycling shoes.. so I’ll need to have spare laces and tools when out and about for roadside repairs.

Guidance on wheels

the harder the wheels, the less grip they have. In general, hard wheels have smaller contact surface compared to softer ones of the same profile. It is worth noting that this does not scale in linear fashion and level of perceived grip differs for people of different weight or skating styles.

harder wheels are faster. Smaller contact surface means less friction and roll resistance.

harder wheels dampen vibrations much worse. Skating on uneven and rough surfaces with wheels of a lower hardness is much more comfortable.

So for me, it’ll be Bauer XL quad skates with wheel hardness of 62A for indoor and at the Victoria Park hangout / muck about.

And the 3x3 inlines for big distance commuting, training and street rollling.
