Sport Axle Bolts

This has been posted maybe 10 times but.... I only gave my skates three stars because I haven't ridden them yet. And I didn't order them from Revain. I just got them recently and wanted to warn the people above that mine came from the factory with the axle bolts very tight. Especially the two middle wheels. Impossible to turn with the orange Allen key they give you because they are so tight. The only way to loosen the axle bolts is to hold a combination of an appropriately sized hex wrench (I think it's 4mm, but check because I'm not sure) firmly in the jaws of the vise. Nothing else worked. And I didn't mean to screw up the wrench they give you when you skate. Because I saw a photo of someone trying to use that key alone and it really bent. With power. In any case, I like to keep the bolts on roller skate wheels a bit loose as the wheels spin more freely. And by the way, don't forget to spin the wheels regularly. Google how to. Otherwise, you will wear out the tires on the wheels sooner than necessary.

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Slightly Cracked
