Review on 🏍️ Cruze XR Hightop Roller Derby Skates for Men: Superior Performance on Wheels by Vinny Howard

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good skates BUT please read!

So overall I really like these skates, especially for the price. However, please read this if you are considering replacing your skate wheels, particularly with larger and/or outdoor wheels. I was planning on using them as outdoor skates so I swapped out the stock wheels for a pair of Pulse 78A 65mm wheels. When I went to change wheels, I noticed that the two rear screws on the plate were hanging low (one on each skate). It wasn't much, but it was enough to rub the wheels and stop them from spinning. I was able to take a hammer and bend the bolts so they no longer touch the wheels, but if you're planning on upgrading your wheels, take that into account.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
