IQON 68mm Anti vs 55mm UC Flat THEM Street Frames - JAD Rollerblading

[@icemanbtlr25]

The secret to getting the middle wheels out or on with kizer fluid 5 frames is taking the outside wheels out first when taking them out, putting them on you out the inside wheels in first because you can expand the frames to get the inside wheels in and out easier with this method.

Thought the them street frames only fit 58mm max so this review explained a lot thank you. Keep it up!

[@antonvrieling2718]

Man, i was literally about to go out, and make a video, about trying to skate flat, after skating anti, for the past 20 years. Great video, loving the content. Keep them vids coming.

[@jadrollervlog]

Hahahaha do it! I would love to hear your thoughts!!!!

[@antonvrieling2718]

@@jadrollervlog well, i uploaded the video... been a while since i uploaded anything to youtube. I honestly was pleasantly surprised. I was expecting there to be a lot more wheel bite.

[@chinobean3555]

have u tried 50/50 balance frames? im about to order some kinda wanna hear from spmeone who tried the first. back in the day i used to have like every non ufs 50/50 frames loved em then i hope i love the ufs version

When we started skating Anti rocker in the 90s we had huge wheels on the outside, bigger the better to compensate for speed. I think it's a flaw in modern skates. 68 seems like a much nicer anti size but I can't fit them in my skates, I'm about 62 at best. Anti is for street skating but it's kind of been reversed, Anti for park & flat for street which I now understand but still feel like it's missing a lot in the skating experience & what makes it enjoyable.

[@BrettMitchell82]

I just put the teal Red Eye 55/92 wheels in my Fluid Vs and shared a similar experience my first time on them. Found them very fast and was surprised how stable they were when rolling straight and on the flat portion of the profile. Love the feeling of a shorter wheel base when accelerating and carving, too.

[@jadrollervlog]

Yup!!!!! Small wheels are SUPER fun!

[@inkflo]

By any chance have you tried rolling the red eyes 55mm in an antirocker setup? If so, what's your thoughts on only rolling two small wheels vs 4?

[@AggressiveInlineDiary]

Good video!!💯 I also had my first session with the 909 yesterday. had the FLT3 frame on it but think I'll test the Them street frame anti rocker the next session times. Stay tuned your videos are really good!💪👍

[@Rene_Dillon]

Great video, on the flat set up were those ceramic bearings?.. i think im riding the same ones in my oysi frames

[@jadrollervlog]

Noooo these are Rollerblade ILQ-9 Twin Cam pro. I have always wanted to try bones Swiss ceramic!

[@mr.rodriguez5099]

Thank you for the video! You saved me from buying just today some 64mm pure urethane wheels! I bought some with the enlarged plastic core instead. Thanks 👍

[@fadhilahrizky9515]

i can't fit the 62mm wheel, did you mod the on them street frame so it fit's the 68mm wheels?

[@bladeworks5012]

68mm antirocker is way to go bro! My current setup, it feels good and helps a lot while getting around, thinking of trying fluid V with 58mm or 60mm though, I know it is hard to push inside middle wheels, it is the same with fluid IV but after a few attempts frames get used to it, so no problem at all Let's GOOOOOOO

[@davequist7710]

I’ve been using the Mushroom Blading 58mm face profile flat on the Them frames. It’s really comfortable and the urethane seems high quality. I only skate park so it’s almost perfect.

[@jadrollervlog]

Okay I need to give this a go soon! I love THEM frames a lot! Thank you for the tip!!!

[@bonter1983]

Great video. Good insights and detailed coverage.

[@Purpleshank]

I like this video format! Do those 68 wheels touch the soul when you do a toe roll? I got some bigger wheels on my Blanks and it looked like they had that tiny bit of clearance as well but they act like a brake when I toe roll and I'm a light dude. Could it be that the Thems are a lot more solid in the soul/boot area?

[@jadrollervlog]

Not for me. I weigh about 154 lb. I stepped in the mud at one point though and it was scraping on some of the mud buildup underneath the wheel but that's about it and it was barely scraping. The wheel tip is wearing down a little bit now so there's more clearance. As for the blanks hmmm not too sure. Maybe the frame? Or maybe the wheel. I assume it's not the wheel. Usually it squishes on the bottom and that shouldn't affect the top. I think it has something about the soul frame combination that you have.

[@OrganicGonzalez]

Quick question about the intuition liner in the Pat ridder skate. Is is worth buying boot only for the intuition liner ?

[@bladeshred01]

good thing most aluminum wheels are sold with abec 9s installed now

[@CharacterConcept]

man this is a top quality video. Keep it up ! from Australia.

[@ThatShaunBoy]

I really wanted to skate the Fluid V's but I had the same issue with the middle wheels. I broke 4 pairs of bearings and just gave up on them. Maybe I'll try again at some point with cheap bearings

[@jadrollervlog]

Could be the inner bearing spacer too. But yeah I hope they address that someday.

[@ThatShaunBoy]

@@jadrollervlog could be! Never had any issues like that before. Like you said, even oysi frames were easier and they were horrible hah

[@jadrollervlog]

@@ThatShaunBoy man I'm so glad in not the only one that found that incredibly frustrating! Thank you my friend!!!!

[@inkflo]

Has anyone tried rolling 55mm on an antirocker setup? I'm wondering if its possible to save a few bucks or if I would need to put all four down on the ground to get rolling.

[@angelcortez2878]

So you prefer the anti rocker Them street frame over the FTL3 for anti rocker setups?

[@itzdillydork2502]

I skate the GC 64mm constellations antirocker with fluid IV and I love the big wheel anti rocker setup. I want to try 68s but I already had to dermal to make the 64s fit lol. ( Gawds Tim Frankins)

[@k.dtrying2229]

I'm riding the 54 mm 88a eulogy flat on m12 lo .. and fith element 55mm 92a ground control mids with usd 55mm 90a front n back.. and usd sawy 58mm 89a m12 roces front n back and usd 57 88amids. And m12 lo 54mm 88a eulogy front and back and eulogy 47mm 101a antirocker. I'm bigger on flat than antirocker. Flow better with flat. But I only have a month and a half in on aggressive inline.

[@jadrollervlog]

WOW EULOGY WHEELS!!! Those were my favorite! Undercover wheels are amazing if you can find your size. Thats awesome !

[@1MinuteFlipDoc]

where'd u get the 54mm wheels? rollerwarehouse?

[@k.dtrying2229]

I got them on Amazon, eulogys..not too shabby. 54mm 88a.. wore them down kinda quick I skate on rough concrete. Ive gotten a few items from rollerwarehouse . And quite a bit from oakcityskate.

[@marcfreshart]

Anti with bigger wheels 👍.

[@glooms691]

woah I thought the them frames only went up to 58mm !

[@glooms691]

you think 60 mm moonshine wheels would fit just fine?

[@jadrollervlog]

If you are using medium V2 soul plates and large THEM Frames you can get away with 68 mm wheels with the bullet profule. But only on the outer wheels not the inner. Yes you can fit 60s on the outer wheels. 58mm is the biggest that will fit on the inner wheels.

[@alexstewart4045]

Bearing press for metal core wheels.

[@jadrollervlog]

To be fair I've never tried that but after trying these 68s with the plastic hub not sure I need to.

[@jadrollervlog]

Recommendations on a good bearing press? Can you also get them out easily with the bearing press?

[@climbtheskyspine5748]

Hhahahahaha!! Whoooowh!!

[@TheFistlist]

New Britain CT here. I enjoyed the vid. Leave me a comment or send a message if you want to go skate some time.

[@chilli-iceolive-abode2447]

👀

[@brianmaller3443]

58mm (bullet profile) flat on them frames will have less wheel bite than the 55mm undercover..You prob know that anyway ha...50/50 and Mushroom blading makes the 58mm bullets..

[@jadrollervlog]

Oooo. I have been meaning to try that too. However I love the urethane of the UC wheels. Amazing rebound. I haven't looked at the 50/50 or Mushroom though.
