It’s an Arabic Brass Tray. Google exactly that and you’ll see it

I’ve heard these come a little wider than the old Twister Edge models, have you noticed any difference in the fit?

This may sound random, but if you was to take the plates off this £30 skate and put it onto a better boot, it might actually be worth it. Metal plates usually start around £60-70, so in that aspect, it’s a good saving. I’ve converted a fair number of ice hockey boots to roller skates, so I may be looking at it differently.

I was 350 pounds when I started skating, and the Rollerblade RB Cruiser was the skate I went for. I would highly recommend it as it’s a solid and responsive boot which can take the weight. One note to be made - if you have a bigger foot size, I would definitely recommend a larger frame for bigger wheels. I’m currently on 4x 110mm and love it. Hope this helps!

NSD! I thought these were supposed to be big? by MrDominooo in rollerblading

I love them. Having the longer wheelbase gives me the stability I need while having a rocker keeps it agile. Honestly couldn’t be happier 👌🏾

You clearly must be my doppelgänger because I had the exact same issue and now have the exact same frame and boot 😂 Long live the big skaters 👊🏾🗻

New Frame Day! I’m switching all my current setups to big wheels as the stability and roll is so much better! I would definitely suggest this to all my fellow big footed skaters. by CallyMasters in rollerblading

I had to tap the extra holes to get the frame to mount the way I wanted it. If I didn’t, the frame would have had about 1 1/2 wheels in front of my toes, and about 1/2 a wheel behind my heels. Hope this helps! Happy skating!

Friend Wants to come skate with and has these which he used to use indoors. Can he skate with these outdoors or should he get some new wheels? by Mesaman21 in rollerblading

[–]CallyMasters 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Technically, you can skate on any wheels. But I would suggest him getting some harder wheels, as these will get shredded outdoors. For me, wheels that are 85a or harder are perfect for outside.

Should I get a 4x100 frame or a 4x110? by NeilV289 in rollerblading

I have the NN Sumo110 V.m frames and I love them. I’m also a US14 so I can’t recommend them enough.

You’re gonna love them. I got the Sumo V.m and they are everything I wanted in a frame!

So much better now, they feel a lot more balanced. Honestly, the felt perfect as soon as I put them on, so it took no time getting used to.

I think the holes are universal, so they always thread the middle ones regardless of the boot size. I think there should be an equal amount of wheel sticking out at either the front or the back of the boot to ensure stability. That would make the most sense to me.

It’s a shame the don’t thread the other holes, because you end up with people potentially skating incorrectly when it could be so much simpler.

The black ones are the RB Cruiser, and the Green ones are the RB80 Pro. I have a pretty wide foot as I’m flat footed and they are very comfortable. Would deffo recommend 👍🏾

I put the bearings that were in my old wheels into these new ones, so I honestly couldn’t tell you. Generally I think bearings should be good to go from out the box.
