What is best wheel speed for training and recreation? I won't be using the roller skis for racing.

Good morning, the best for training and recreation are the slow wheels, especially if you are a beginner. Faster wheels are for higher levels, and competitions. For any further assistance/clarification, do not hesitate to contact us. Best regards, barnettsports

Its not a tire, its a wheel. Depends on your trainer, of course, but probably not.

Absolutely. It is not light but you quickly get used to the feel. Great spin to make it drop on the back edge for winning points. I have both the 400 and the 700 and I think. Like the 400 better.

I put Powell bones bearings in them and they are almost too fast. Awesome speed! They are grippy enough that I can't do Bert slides or power slides with em. The skate won't do it. Perfect for a long board or mini campus cruiser.

Sorry I can't answer this question for you because my husband says he doesn't know what a speed wheel is.

The wheels seem to come dished for 6/7 speed. You may have to re dish if you stick with the 5 speed. I finally swapped my hoops for 700c because good tires were so hard to find for 27in.

Wheels are small so this is not an All Terrain Vehicle. Best used indoors or on smooth level surfaces.

I'm using 71mm wheels. I'm more of a cruiser so if you are wanting to do slides and such I am not sure what wheels to use. I suggest looking on some forums for a more educated answer.

In my experience, it was a bit of a learning curve to get used to the resistance of the rollers themselves. Before I got my bike tuned up, I could only go about 5mph, in my lowest gear (when I could usually go 8-13mph outside). After the tune up (my bike was pretty banged up and dirty from the summer and fall) I was able to hit 10 or more mph, in more gears, but still not as wide of a range as I could outside. The rollers can't change their resistance, but you can change your bike's gear settings. (I'm new to everything too, so I hope this answer made sense.) I love my rollers...and they are totally worth the initial challenge, because it is as close to feeling like I am outside without being outside.

It depends on what you want out of your wheel, if you want the best grip possible you're gonna want a softer wheel and probably wider, if you want to learn how to slide and have medium grip you'll want harder wheels with rounded edges, kinda pike the ones that came with the board

Depends on what you want. I purchased some hpi xpatterns for the street and pirelli rallies for off road. Wheels are 26mm width 1.9's... With a 12mm hex. I would definitely suggest upgrading the hexes to a harder plastic (i.e. traxxas) or metal.. Either way have fun!!!

We have them on a double jet ski trailer. Not sure what they are rated as to speed.

these are the best training wheels on the market. My granddaughter is pretty good size for her age and they are working for her where the others just bent and were not worth the time to put on. She is about 100 lbs and has been using them for 6 months or so now and they are doing the job very well.

They make longer ramps with a smaller inclination (RR-56 has 10.6 degrees). That should work for you. I'd still recommend race ramps over rhino because race ramps don't budge at all when you drive on them.

The rollers do not weight that much. They are some where between 5-10 lbs. you will not get a workout moving them from place to place if that is what you are worried about. There is a learning curve to get used to. I do recommend you go to YouTube and watch some videos of people learning how to use them. That is where I learned how to ride on them. I keep the rollers next to at least one object I can grab onto for the occasion that I start to get off track. The biggest key is when you first start out riding on them, you have to looke forward out in front at least 6 feet or more. This helps you get started rolling and staying straight. After a couple of times of starting and stopping you will get used to it and have a good time riding. It is very nice to be able to ride many miles in a nice temperature instead of the cold outside.

I really don't know if you can replace the skis with wheels...I got the wheels in the front and the skis in the backand it works fine for me. Why don't you call Amazon and ask them, I am sure they will have an answer for you.Good Luck...Jeanne

You can reuse the beatings on the old wheels of you like bit the bearings that come with these wheels are fine. They are fast but not too fast. My 12 yr old enjoys his rip more now. The wheels are great.
