How much faster are bigger skating wheels? - 1 hour time trial test!

[@sherrcon]

when i grow up, i want to be just like Viktor...good luck in the Olympics...rooting for you

[@thorupviktor]

Thanks! :D

[@feutrierthierry]

That's a real good video, not just an advertisment for your sponsoring brand ; a good point for you, I'm nor sure that an equivalent precise test was produce before yours ; Thanks

[@ThePascalbriand]

Good job Viktor i did the same test on my channel too. It great info to share and I got similar results. For me was 1sec / km

[@bleskiven]

It'd be interesting to see you do the same test on 4*100mm as well. Another test one could do would be to match speed, instead og HR and then track HR to see which is the more efficient at the same speed. That way you could possibly test different speeds, and draw conclusions from that.

[@snoopyshultz]

4x100, hilo, 4x110, 3x125 on a accent and decent would be amazing

[@balazstudos3858]

Please, please, please. Make the same with a beginner speed skater and with someone of a year of speedskating experience. And options like 4x100 and a hi-lo.

[@victorianoescobar6485]

Thank you for this very interesting review. What would also be interesting is to test top speed differences between the two. So these would be very short sprint tests whereby each time you give it all you have and see on the GPS app what was your top speed.

[@KevGoesRiding]

awesome vid

[@Keithphotorama]

I remember indoor speed skating and the 4x100 mm wheels. They felt somewhat lacking. Then I got the 4x110 mm and they felt complete just the way I like them. Maybe one day I will try the 3x125 mm.

[@eastclintwood7153]

How would you express that in percent?

[@andyhlawnchhing8337]

If big bearings are created it really make a change in skating world. Big wheels are created and works well but deep inside they still roll in small bearing that have the same rolling ability. If big bearings are invented itll do the job more better

[@paulblichmann2791]

Inline skating does not produce the load OR the RPM OR the heat to justify a nonstandard bearing. It already barely matters what lubricant you use!

[@peterwanyangw337]

I fell while going down hill with the same type of skates give me an advice

[@milcirdec]

won't 4 x Xfirm = 3 x XXfirm ? weight pressure on 3 wheels are higher, thus, should be harder durometer

[@piotrsykut2377]

Actually I believed that spreading body weight over 3 wheels makes higher pressure per wheel, so 3 wheels setups I would rather choose harder than 4 wheels.

[@camillalondono4664]

Hi Viktor!! Just wanna said that your content is amazing and I've been training with them for a month and changes are crazy!!. Trying to buy your 12week program but doesn't let me... Greetings from Colombia 🇨🇴

[@GoFoggy]

Though very interesting and though I also think 125mm is a little faster in real life, it's close to impossible to test it this way Victor (and Pascal). There are too many variables to reckon with. Like; you should have exactly the same wheelwear, similar bearing resistance, all physical and environmental conditions the same and so on... That said, still a very nice comparison!

[@thorupviktor]

Agreed :)

[@stevej.6674]

Do you think you have to alter your skating style & the way you push between the 2 setups?

[@stevej.6674]

I REALLY wanted to love and skate 3x125’s but the 4x110’s just feel smoother, more stable and can get more push to the ground. But proof is in the pudding and I haven’t seen 4x110’s win any Berlin marathons of late.

[@Fuzzball]

For flat courses, 3x125s are probably going to win. However, 4x110s are still winning hilly races.

[@gamma2.2]

Great video, do You know maybe which setup is lighter ?

[@houstonrolls]

3x125

[@paulnicholson8524]

What kind of boots are they?

[@justincomer9579]

What brand boots are those

[@DrexlFlowood]

That's a real great video with lots of interesting informations. I am training for Berlin Marathon at the moment and I am not sure which setup I should choose. Right now I have 3x100 and 4x100 at home and I don't want to buy a new setup. Can you tell me, which one you would recommend?

[@thorupviktor]

4x100mm

[@raimondodeluca9531]

Complimenti grande recensione ma ti volevo chiedere x pattinare in zone miste che mescola prendere di hidrogen 125

[@sim169]

To have a more accurate comparison, you would have done the two 1-hour run on separate days. If you do the two runs consecutively, the latter must be disadvantaged I would have thought.

[@thorupviktor]

That was my initial thought as well. However I did a 3x1 hour session a few days prior to this with steady speed and HR on the same setup... Therefore, I figured weather conditions would be too much of a factor if I carried out the test over two days :)

[@kenmastersmaster]

Can those frames do 165mm or 195mm only

[@bmw335hdk2]

It is 4x110mm and 4x125mm mounting on 195 only. You cannot put it on urban boots. At least you need adapter for it. But thanks to Micro Skate. They made 4x110mm frame that can be mounted on Urban Boots 😄

[@kenmastersmaster]

@@bmw335hdk2 fr skates have a 195mm mount on the boot

[@googayo7850]

Hi, Viktor! As i see, theese wheels are 110 xfirm (green mark) and 125 firm (yellow mark). Which are more comfortable on hard road, just like you ride on?

[@thorupviktor]

Softer wheels = More comfort :)

[@buffaloman5042]

If your over 200 lbs I think 4 wheels may be faster because of more weight on each bearing and wheel with 3?

[@thorupviktor]

I don't think it plays a big role. The wheel-to-ground surface is also larger due to the larger diameter of 125mm

[@jessiecassio8349]

Too many variables. Would have liked to see a 3x110 vs 3x125 or at the very least both wheels have the same hardness. Plus the wind could have changed a lot in an hour or 2, rendering these results worthless.. Perhaps an indoor test next time

[@ZadakLeader]

Exactly what I was going to write. Also 4x110 are probably heavier than 3x125 and that can have a role as well. In my opinion, is how much yourself can put out as force/stamina etc. and has less to do with wheel sizes. Obviously there are limits to this statement as you don't really see people doing marathons in 60mm wheels. But the difference should become smaller and smaller the bigger your wheels get. And weight IS a factor

[@probabilidadestadistica8400]

Wheel manufacturers usually state that smaller wheels are better for acceleration and bigger wheels are better for keeping velocity. I think it means bigger wheels make you waste less energy. Sprinters do not use 125 mm, they use 110 mm.

[@Skatafossy]

Perchè non 3 x 110...??? 🤔

[@odeastannu423]

Hi Victor!! I am your faithful fan from Venezuela one day I want to be great like your brother! 🔥😍 How can I get used 125 wheels that don't sell anything here and it's difficult skating items in Venezuela! 🥺

[@Daveygrrtzn]

Viktor, I started skating about a month ago now. On average I can get up to 20.5km/h which I think is not bad for a beginner but after every kilometer I have to slow down due to lower back pain. Do you have any tips about what you can do to fix lower back issues? love your videos!

[@probabilidadestadistica8400]

Superman, Cobras, planks, deadlifts are good for lower back strengthening, dryland training is also going to improve it. Every time you skate try going further than before. I mean if you can skate 2 km before starting feeling pain, next time go for 2.5 km and so on. If you think your pain is not normal get a back exam.

[@copperrolls]

Yes bro! xD

[@paulblichmann2791]

That's a LOW heartrate at 130. Inline skating pumps my HR to the max before I'm even breathing hard. Typical of the sport?

[@achraf9946]

Would be more interesting 80mm vs 125mm

[@eliseerollerskater5057]

I had this Question for long time and can you please tell me how long a good skater can run ?

[@abdoullatif7171]

Hi patinage world

[@STORMHEBTEMY]

мне больше нравится фристайл , при всём уважении

[@fengcarlos]

It would have been more fair if both had 3 wheels.

[@nuttyl283]

125mm for tall guy will be very fast.

[@nerdinvader6740]

I'm 1.85 m tall and just bought some rollerblade powerblade 125mm let's see if i don't get myself killed due to the speed

[@nuttyl283]

@@nerdinvader6740 Wow 185 you must be enjoy speed on 125mm. I think you will be fine. Be alive.

[@alfonsocano106]

No offence but your Technique is one, which in no way is energy saving , you are lifting the legs behind you and that consumes a lot of energy. About 125 mm wheels, if in a marathon you do not use them, youre not in the race, easy as that. Definetely since the beginning they are faster ! problem is that the amateur federation has policies about wheels and they force skaters to use a particular kind of wheels, something ridiculous but it is so ? additional to the fact about 125 mm wheels ,there is a project going on to lunch 130 mm wheels , they provide a tiny advantage, but so far that is commercially at a stand still . Have fun !
