Great point! Bearing's definitely need to be rolled for maintenance regularly, if they sit too long with old dirty lube in one spot they will wear out fast when they are used next! Will make sure to add that to my end of season maintenance video. Thank you so much for joining and for the on-point comment! Have a great day!! -Jamie
Thanks for this information and instructions, and I've got to confess that it was difficult not to admire your beautiful garden and backyard behind you - wow! Really nice!
@@TheLastHonestInfluencer OK great. You convinced me to keep mine on permanently. I was actually inquiring about remove and replace entire brake assembly (during wheel rotation). But I figured it out: Removing involves using a flathead screw driver to pull tab down from top of brake assembly then pulling brake assembly off with muscle grease and flat head screw driver. Putting back on: I used an orbital sander to sand down the same tab by 1/8" and sanded the side ridges to slightly round off the sharp edges of rubber. tmThen finally shoe-horning the wheel and brake assembly back on. Took about 90 mins to figure out. ... also I used a Fat Wrench set to tighten wheel bolts to hand tight @ 30 inch lbs with end of bolts coated slightly with blue loctite. 👍
That’s quite the operation! I always leave my pads on to save the wheels, I think that’s the convincing rationale you’re speaking of. Learned that one the expensive way…
Supreme wheels are great but you should try the Hydrogen Pro wheels. The regular Hydrogen wheels are very good for 80mm but they don’t make the Hydrogen Pro in that size but since you skate bigger wheels you should look into the Hydrogen Pro’s
Absolutely! Will be replacing the Supremes with Hydrogen Pro for sure, thats an excellent call. Thinking they should last a lot longer. At this rate I better order them soon!
That's actually a great idea. Oil is really inexpensive and it would be easy to do. Going to give that a try with an old set I have, if it works out it'll make a great video! Thank you so much for the idea!!
It's true less wheels means more pressure on the other wheels but also hardness doesn't always mean they will last longer... Think how hard chalk is but how easily it wears.
Good point. Every wheel wears different. The numbers are superfluous really. I've had 85a's wear out faster than 80a's. Depends on the quality of materials used I think.
I noticed you keep your brake on - do you use it as your primary braking method? I have started drag breaking but I'm noticing a severe amount of wear on my 82A wheels by doing this.
That is exactly why I keep the brake on and ONLY use the rubber brake to slow down or stop. They look stupid, but man, I'd way rather spend 12 bucks on a rubber stopper than $100 on new wheels every month. No exaggeration when I stopped dragging to slow down and stop my wheels started lasting 1,000-2,000 more km.
@@TheLastHonestInfluencer Yea I hadn't considered the wear it would cause (makes sense) but I took my skates off this past weekend and was like "oh shit". My right skate (which I pretty much exclusively drag brake with) was like...massively warn down on the inside. I need to rotate them before I go back out but I think I may also need to upgrade the wheels and bearings anyway.
@@alpal4000 same thing happened to me my first year skating dude. It took me a few sets of wheels to clue in 😂. Same thing here I was annihilating my right wheels and needing to rotate them weekly. Using the rubber brake to stop is a game changer if you're skating for fitness.
You should be able to get minimum 1500km out of a set of quality wheels if they are rotated often and you use your brake for stopping unless you're skating on a cheese-grater path or something. Less than 1000km is unacceptable from fitness wheels rated 82A or harder imo! Pretty disappointed with the Supreme wheels from Rollerblade so far. 1000km might be all i get out of them.
rolling them for maintenance is a must. nice info. joined, c u.

Thank you for the kind words Sean, much appreciated. Glad you found it helpful!
Thanks for the info and for the app. I’m new to this sport
Cheers man! Enjoy!!
Looking to do some heavy skating this summer. I have a old pair of k2s that need wheel replacement. Thanks for the helpful vids brother.
Sweet! Skating is the best, new wheels are a close second. Stoked to hear you found them helpful thank you for the comment and happy skating my dude.
Beautiful share my friend! Amazing wheels, very nice talk about, sounds great!
Like #22!
Have a nice day to you!
Thank you Lisa!
New subscriber here. Thanks for this video!
Thank you for the sub! Much appreciated!!
Wow man. I learn so much from your channel. Great tips bro!
Thank you brother man! Really appreciate your support!! Thanks for coming back, have an awesome day!! -Jamie
@@TheLastHonestInfluencer I will and you do the same.
Do you have a video that shows how you took you brake off (and especially) how you put it back on?
Absolutely! Glad you asked: How to Change or Replace Inline Skate / Rollerblade Brake Pad

Hope that helps! Any questions feel free to ask!

I wonder if leaving the bearings in jar of light oil would improve bearing wear and speed rotation ?

@@TheLastHonestInfluencer yes the cores also matter, the compound and probably a bunch of other factors. I think the supreme wheels are just fine

I'd be happy to get 1000km out of a set of wheels!

You can rotate my wheels any day
ok but you have to buy me dinner after
