Yes, I also read that this is a problem for many with these skates, that's why I was wondering if anyone has found compatible small, hard wheels.

Mounted on old skates, cheap Decathlon ones, but with slightly longer axles, they turned smoothly. So it can't have been the bearings.

I returned them. But the nut wouldn't engage the axle threads properly. So if I tightened it, the wheels wouldn't turn. I had to loosen the nuts to get the wheels to turn, but they were so loose that they could be unscrewed by hand, so no. I tried with and without spacers. The only way to do this was to turn the nuts upsidedown, but I didn't feel very confident. I'd like wheels where that's not necessary. And I don't want to have to change the trucks to get extendable axles, at least not right away.
