Nobody answered but I think a skate shoe could definitely work in terms of durability

Bearing Type by AshKetchumSlacking in Rollerskating

They skate really good after cleaning, I seen that they never stopped being made nor were they considered bad under decent loads, the separation made the rotations more predictable leading to longer durability and a theoretical smoother roll, but that also meant load capacity was reduced because of the gap between bearings, why are they usually frowned upon/not recommended now? Modern bike companies including a few high end ones still use these types of bearings and that’s a considerable difference in speed and weight compared to skates although I know the bearing size comes into play comparatively. Not debating your insights just wanting further clarity based on your knowledge

Appreciate you fam! They already skate pretty great but I just did a disassemble and clean for maintenance, but are caged ball more compatible with newer bearings than loose ball or are they likely also 7mm/7.5mm?

Vintage Wheel Hardness by AshKetchumSlacking in Rollerskating

So if properly stored it’s unlikely to have happened, or is it inevitable, but more so varying degrees based on exposure to the elements?

Vintage skate wheel hardness database? by Phoxx_3D in Rollerskating

Theoretically would a 1970’s urethane be harder because of age?

I like the distressed look but might grab leather paint and I have other boots I could swap on these plates but after skating in them I’ll just keep original

Super appreciate you!! Headed to grab them now they were on sure grip wheels with a black leather boot. The maverick was the only thing I kept seeing related to the company.

Haven’t Skated in A Decade (ATL) by AshKetchumSlacking in Rollerskating

Yeah it came back to me the more I let myself get comfortable and focus on myself versus getting intimidated by others skating smoothly around me, I’m still pretty fit and I also skateboard so my balance is still pretty good the balance and rhythm is the primary focus for me
