Review on Upgrade Your Skating Experience With Rollerex Lollipop Boardwalk Wheels - 8-Pack With Bearings, Spacers And Washers In Multiple Sizes by Covey Palmer

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Favorite budget wheel option, but maybe use your own bearings

The wheels I normally buy cost this much for just 4 of them, without bearings and hardware, so I was cautious moving forward with these. After putting in the hardware and mounting them in my frames, I was pleasantly surprised with how they felt on the pavement. The amount of grip and slip was predictable, I never felt like I was going to slide out doing high speed maneuvers, and when I initiated slides, they were nice and controllable. The only real negative was the bearings that came with the wheels. They are slow and noisy, and for someone who likes going fast, a hindrance. As soon as I put bearings I already had in the wheels, it was a game changer. Speed was easily attainable. The wheels are just the right hardness to roll over bumpy asphalt and not hurt my feet or slow down too significantly. Pictured at the end is showing the wheels after about 5 1-hour sessions and 1 rotation. Wear is even and there hasn't been any chunking of the wheels, even after some hard landings from jumping off of obstacles.I would totally recommend these in size 72mm as replacements for some Impala lightspeed inline skates, but maybe just buy the bare wheels and use your own bearings. If they ever come out with some 100mm wheels I am 100% going to buy them.

Pros
  • The Rollerex Lollipop Boardwalk Wheels offer a smooth and comfortable ride that minimizes vibrations, making your skating experience more enjoyable
Cons
  • The bearings, spacers, and washers provided may not be compatible with all types of skates, which could limit the product's versatility and appeal to a broader audience
