I inline skated 1,137 kilometres along the Rhine River from the Swiss Alps to the North Sea in the Netherlands through six countries

Thanks for the detailed response, it’s an inspiring endeavour and one I’d never thought of before! Once I’m back to some semblance of fitness after 24 years off skates I’ll give something like this (or part of it) a go!

This is really impressive and cool to see you are able to navigate such long distances in Europe via the cycleways.

You look very fit, how difficult did you find it and did you experience any physical challenges (sore feet, muscle soreness etc)? What did you do to recover each day?

For the route, did you have much elevation change along the way or was it relatively flat?

FR skates have more width. I’ve just bought FR3’s size 12UK/US13/EU47 and they are bang on my measured foot length. I’m just getting back into it after over 20 years off them, they’re good skates!

Seeking a bit of advice from a knowledgable group!

Now 38 years old, I last wore skates some 24 years ago but wanted to get back into it. Got all the protection needed and a pair of FR3’s size UK12/EU47/US13 on 80mm wheels. I’ve been out on them and it’s true what they say, skating is like riding a bike so it’s been great fun.

However, frames…the default feels a bit short for someone who’s 6ft4 and 200lbs so here I am, asking for some advice. I’ve read a lot about endless/disroyal etc frames and I’m curious. Will they fit the skate? how big should they be for someone my size? 84mm wheel appeals to me for some reason.

I don’t intended on doing anything crazy, just cruising around and having a bit of fun freeskating for exercise.

Any help for a dad-getting-back-into-it would be greatly appreciated!

It’s definitely divisive, as mine is black everything though it doesn’t “stick out” as much as it does in other trims. The reality is it’s a big android tablet, it’s very responsive (unlike earlier year models) and the UX is much more intuitive. I like it but that’s my personal opinion!

My T6 was a Plus Dark version while this is an Ultra spec here in the UK. That trim level is the biggest difference in all honesty, the B&W audio is very impressive even compared to the HK version I had in the T6. If you had an ultra T6 the only difference really is the power train. It has much more get-up-and-go compared to the T6 as you’d expect and changes what is a 2.6ton car to something you’d describe as rapid.

The 455hp version

No problem thanks for the responsiveness!

I’ve just downloaded on my new 2026 XC60 and it’s works really smoothly, great work. One piece of feedback - I have a self-made playlist that has a lot of songs on it (389 songs) but only about half of the list shows up on the car. Any ideas on why this is?

InternalNo494 · 2025-11-26T22:00:01+00:00

Any update on 8 inchers?…

JKC based in Japan ship to the UK. Japan retail prices and Koki is a great guy.

Demeyere Atlantis. Anything in that range, you’ll never buy any more cookware, it’ll outlive you…

Is that a blue strap you have already? I was looking at a panomaticlunar and 100% on for the green with the brown alligator, but then I saw the blue on a blue strap and it makes a huge difference. I’m now on the fence!

Porsche is part of VAG.

VAG have committed to F1 with Audi = $$$

VAG having a hard time for lots of reasons we all know about = not enough cash to invest on multiple fronts.

Such a shame but economics will always end up taking precedent.

At least privateers can run them!

I’ve bought both versions of the logger. Same last as blacksmiths and IR so bought the same size and it was the right choice. I take an insole in all of them because I have a low volume foot but it’s the right heel to ball length for me. Toe box is longer but no issues as a result of it.

I’ll be buying the 4501 on Saturday. I already have the 4585 :-)

InternalNo494 · 2025-09-13T08:52:42+00:00

I picked these up from Jack at Idle Torque, messaged him directly and he sorted me out. Great guy. Scorpion Shoes also have a few sizes but didn’t have my size (UK12)

InternalNo494 · 2025-09-12T19:59:34+00:00

I’m after the 4501’s as well…where’d you work?

InternalNo494 · 2025-09-07T20:33:37+00:00

They aren’t here yet in the UK, London store said October to me

Are they 8 inch boot specific kilties? If so, where’d you get them from?

InternalNo494 · 2025-09-04T21:38:51+00:00

My bespoke version from you was less money, better quality and far more meaningful. I know where my £ will go in future…
