ABOUT WHEELS
IT IS POSSIBLE (AND SOMETIMES RECOMMENDED) TO MIX AND MATCH DIFFERENT TYPES OF WHEELS.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT THE WHEELS MUST HAVE THE SAME DIAMETER
SHORE HARDNESS SCALES
GENERALLY, THE WHEEL WITH THE SOFTEST HARDNESS OFFERS MORE GRIP AND SHOULD BE
PLACED AT THE PUSH POINTS.
THE HARD WHEELS ARE USED AS SCROLL WHEELS TO IMPROVE SPEED AND MAXIMIZE MOMENTUM. DEPENDING ON THE QUANTITY OF DIFFERENT HARDNESSES AVAILABLE AND THE TYPE OF FLOOR, IT IS POSSIBLE TO MAKE MANY COMBINATIONS OF WHEELS.
HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES:
TWO (2) HARDNESSES AVAILABLE
THE CHOICE OF THE CORRECT HARDNESS (BOTH THE SOFTER AND THE HARDEST) DEPENDS MAINLY ON THE TYPE OF FLOOR (SLIPPERY VS TIGHT) BUT ALSO ON THE SELECTION PREFFERED BY THE INDIVIDUAL ATHLETE.
THREE (3) HARDNESSES AVAILABLE
THE THREE WHEELS MUST BE IN SUCCESSION ON THE HARDNESS SCALE. EX: 47-49-53 OR 49-53-57 OR 39-42-45. (INDEPENDENTLY OF MAGNUM, GIOTTO, OR DEVIL). COMBINATIONS WITH LARGER INTERVALS (SUCH AS: 36-47-57 OR 42-49-60) ARE MUCH LESS FREQUENT AND, IN GENERAL, NOT RECOMMENDED. THE CHOICE OF THE CORRECT HARDNESS (BOTH THE SOFTER AND THE HARDEST) DEPENDS MAINLY ON THE TYPE OF FLOOR (SLIPPERY VS TIGHT) BUT ALSO ON THE SELECTION PREFFERED BY THE INDIVIDUAL ATHLETE.
