How to scroll for a freestyle scooter

When does a freestyle scooter need to have its wheels replaced

A freestyle scooter is a sports tool that takes quite a beating. The scooter takes quite a beating, falls, and when used improperly, it also rides through water, mud, gravel, dust, or even in snow, or gets kicked by the brake. But that's not good. With such use, you'll first wear out the bearings and then the wheels themselves. their eraser.

The most common problem with bearings is that they do not rotate, or. creak. The first aid is to drip the bearings with oil (guide on how to clean bearings). If that doesn't work, there's nothing left but to buy new ones.

Wheels need to be replaced when the center cracks (if they are aluminum), or when holes or flat spots appear in the rubber (from stomping on the brake at high speed) or when the rubber peels off.

Where to Buy Wheels for a Freestyle Scooter

It is clear that the best selection of wheels for a freestyle scooter is in specialized stores. For example, at scootshop.cz :), where they will gladly help and advise you to choose the most suitable ones with regard to your budget. If you don't have a way to visit our showroom, check out our online store or advice section.

We definitely do not recommend outright saving. Wheels valued up to 200 CZK each or wheels from unverified manufacturers may not withstand riding in a skatepark or on the streets at all.

How to choose the size of the wheel

There are 4 sizes of wheels for a freestyle scooter. However, most riders use 2 basic sizes, which are wheels with a diameter of 100mm or 110mm. The other sizes are: diameter 120mm and 125mm.

For whom and for which scooter are wheels with a diameter of 100mm?

for beginners and possibly for intermediate riders
for scooters that have a fork and possibly fixed brake only for 100mm wheels

For whom and for what type of scooter are wheels with a diameter of 110mm?

for intermediate and moderately advanced riders or also for advanced street riders
for scooters that have a fork and possibly

For whom and for what scooter are wheels with a diameter of 120 and 125mm?

for anyone who wants a faster ride - especially in the skatepark
for scooters that have a fork, brake, and deck adapted for large wheels (if you haven't bought such a scooter, you can modify the parts at home - but be careful, modifying will void the warranty on the fork, brake, and possibly other parts.

How to choose wheel hardness

What is wheel hardness? What hardness of wheels to choose? The lower the indicated hardness number of the wheel rubber (86A, 88A, 90A, etc.), the softer the rubber is.

Soft rubber (86A and lower)
It is more adhesive, experienced riders will notice and feel it better than beginners.

Harder wheels (88A and above)
Wheels are more suitable for skateparks, they are faster and are actually most commonly produced. Street skaters should not buy such wheels because every bump and pebble can be felt. The rubber is less adhesive but more durable.

What brand and type of wheelbarrow to choose

The brand is a matter of preference. All the brands we sell have their fans and their critics.

The type of wheel is more important. We recommend wheels with an aluminum core even for beginners, as they have the greatest durability. Basically, it doesn't matter if you buy a spoke wheel with a spoked hub or a full core with a solid hub.

Choose the wheels based on the color that will best match your freestyle scooter. The rubber of light-colored wheels gets dirty quickly, so it's something to keep in mind :).

Shape of the rubber on wheels

We have two shapes of rubber on wheels. Pointed and rounded.

To the point: these wheels have the advantage of being fast, but they don't have as much grip on the surface as rounded wheels. They can slide.

Flat shape: these wheels are slower but have better grip on the surface. They don't slip as much as pointed toe wheels.

FAT wheels:

These wheels have a different width, namely 27 or 30 mm. The wheels are fast and have excellent grip on the surface. For these wheels, you must have special forks and decks specifically for these wheels.

Classification by wheel width type:

Wheels can have different rubber widths or wheel hub widths.

The standard width of the wheel hub is 24mm. But we can also encounter a width of 28mm or 30mm

The wider the wheel, the more grip it has on the surface. (does not slip) Also maintains speed better. (faster)

What is the lifespan of a wheelbarrow:

This is very individual. There are riders who know how to treat their machine and all its components, and their wheels last for many months or even a year. These riders know how to land tricks without skidding their scooters. Wheels clean, do not ride in dust, dirt, mud, rain, snow, or on gravel, etc. A freestyle scooter serves such riders primarily for riding in skateparks and on concrete plazas designed for our sport.

But then there are riders who are the exact opposite and can destroy the wheels in just a few weeks.
