80mm vs 90mm vs 100mm vs 110mm Inline Skate Wheels... (WHATS THE DIFFERENCE???)

Why are there so many different inline skate wheel sizes?
Should you pick 80mm inline skate wheels? 90mm inline skate wheels? 100mm inline skate wheels? Or 110mm inline skate wheels and WHY?
100mm inline skate wheels are by far the best. 80mm are ok but slow. 90mm inline skate wheels are useless. 110mm inline skate wheels are the absolute WORST.

what wheels would you recommend for 80mm

[@TheLastHonestInfluencer]

I've had excellent results with just the cheap-ass replacement wheels from rollerblade. 82a, $82 WITH Sg7 bearings...they usually last me 1,500-2k if i rotate them often.

Great video. I think it depends on your preferred riding style. 80mm is great for strict urban environments, 110mm more for trails, while 90mm and 100mm are more versatile in between the two. 125mm are only good for long distance racing. Just my take.

I actually agree on the 100s being the best but 90s are great for maneuverability while still being a bit faster than 80s. 110 are only great with speed skates

[@TheLastHonestInfluencer]

Great comment, thank you.

[@Combinehuntsmanunit]

I go 110 at all times because of my shitty streets that make gravel trails look smooth, had an 4 x 80mm setup for a while but it was honestly just to hard to get around my area for me to skate outside. I’m glad I have my 110s but most places don’t need that large wheels, if you don’t live in an urban wasteland you would want 80 to 100 mm wheels as they will put you a little lower to the ground and make it easier to learn skating ( if your learning still)

One thing I would say is that 80mm are probably easier for beginners. I haven’t skated in like 15 years and it’s took me a while to regain my balance. Bigger wheels would make that a bit more difficult and could be discouraging.

Exact info that I needed, thank you brother! I’m looking to buy a new pair of skates to do laps on a paved trail with rough surfaces. I have a very hard time there on my $80 4x76 82a skates. Would you recommend a 4x100 set up or a 3x100 setup (never have I skated on 3wd or bigger wheels) or something else?

[@TheLastHonestInfluencer]

Happy to help! It’s kinda hard to say but personally I like both 3x100 and 4x100 and keep a pair of both. They’re fast, the wheels last a long time and they cut down big time on vibrations. I prefer the 4x100 for long straight stretches that I can cruise along at high speed and I like the 3×100 for city stuff where it’s hilly there’s tight corners. I need to avoid obstacles. They’re still plenty fast but not quite as fast as the 4×100. I do still keep a pair of 82 a hardness 80 mm times four skates as well but I find myself using the 100 mm way more often. It’s just more fun. Hope that helps!!

[@doctorgonzo7777]

I have to hard disagree. 110mm triskate setups are heavenly for both commuting to work / gym on all types of roads, and they are perfect for long distance skating aswell.

[@rururu5630]

This is a personal attack as someone who skates primarily 110 and 90 mm skates. Haha. I want to try a rockered 90mm setup as I hear that set up is the bees' knees. I didn't feel much of a height difference going from 90 mm to 110mm.....but I definitely felt it going from 110 to 125. I am training for a marathon....so 125 it is. Still getting used to the reduced ankle support from a race skate compared to an urban skate.

[@TheLastHonestInfluencer]

Maybe it was just the frames and skates I’ve tried the 110’s on, I just can get as deep into the squatting position for a nice long stride and strong push. I can’t imagine 125’s! If they work for you, that’s all that matter tho! Race skates definitely take some getting used to. I couldn’t cope. Funny you mention that rocketed setup! Just bought a new pair and they had the option for two 90’s in the front and two 100’s in the back. I’m wasn’t brave enough to throw down $400 to try it out tho… That’s awesome you’re doing the marathon! When is it again?

[@andrewenyeart3501]

I hear you on that, they’re very hard to maneuver, no fast turns at all! 80mm are a lot slower feeling but you’ll be able to cut and carve hard turns WAY better. 82a is the sweet spot for smooth feeling wheels I’ve found, and they’re economical. Hope you find some you like! Happy skating

If they are the same price, I’d get the 84 mm only because they will last a tiny bit longer. If the 84 mm cost more money though they aren’t worth it. The difference in ride is almost imperceptible, they’re definitely not easier to find, 80mm are everywhere. The only difference is as mentioned above. You have an extra 4 mm of material to wear off.
