Can the wheels be adjusted so they will not spin as fast--for a beginner?

Absolutely. They come out of the box slow rolling...they can be loosened or tightened to adjust the roll using an Allen (hex) wrench.

Not that I am aware of. These wheels are already very small, 64mm with ABEC 5 berrings, so that keeps the speed down. The smaller the wheel size the slower they will go, but they will have a VERY bumpy ride as the bigger the wheels the smoother the ride. Hope this helps.

The wheels themselves aren't half bad .. They may come in tight but work like a charm; if you really are interested in replacing them I recommend you buy some actually Penny Wheels and if you didn't understand that, I meant buy some wheels made by the actually Penny Company. I hope I could help you

This requires a very minimal amount of assembly. If I can do it -- anyone can! Although in their assembly the screws limit the movement of the wheels so it doesn't roll. Huge bummer!

Recommend buy the spokes, (freewheel remover & rim , asneeded) and build yourself. It is not that hard and there are a few good books that explain the various techniques.For the cost of a handful of spokes and about 2 hours work you will not only have a good wheel, but also the experience and understanding for keeping wheels round and true; which all regular riders should have.The Bike Buff

no unfortunately you can not control that. There is speed settings but the settings on mine are all the same. It may just be a defect on mine however, I enjoy mine a lot and it doesn't create too much of a 'whirlwind'.

They wheels are suppose to rotate a little. That said, double check that you followed the instructions EXACTLY. We thought we had until on closer observation of the last page we realized that the wheels should not extend over the front. We had put the wheels on backwards! FYI - that mistake is nearly impossible to correct after the wheels are on.

Probably not a bad idea... this thing can FLIP!!! Even set on beginner (3 flashes... read the directions!!) it is super fast. Set on normal mode, it will flip before you know it!! An awesome machine... but I do not have a wheelie bar... too much fun without!!

The wheels are, indeed, adjustable. Two options, for each set. High, or low. The high setting will give you about 2-2.5 inches. The low setting is approximately 1.5 inches. Simple spring mechanisms allow for the adjustments. Just be careful that you don't "tap" it on the ground, if you have them set in the higher position, as they can "spring" back to the lower setting.

yes it can be, provided there is space to tighten the nut after placing both training wheels an this one. With the vibration of the training wheels the nuts com lose very often so please check often.Update: as the previous responder said there is a tab. but it can either straightened or you can fix it in an angle. If you are not too tall that should still work

Sorry it's taken so long to respond. You can turn middle moveable wheel counter-clockwise to tighten. There is a noticeable difference, when you fluctuate that wheel.

Yes. You can change the wheels. It is provided with 4 wheels. The diameter is about 1 - 1.5 inches.

I haven't tried that myself, but I suppose you could. If I was going to do anything to these, it would be to lengthen the legs. Then, I would add pulls and wheels to the bottom (trundle) to make it easier to move in and out. Those are easy fixes, too, I think.

In my opinion, there is definitely room for improvement. The trucks are pretty smooth for a while if you tweak them right, but overall are pretty standard and eventually become a little too unstable for higher speeds. So I'd say if you have the money to, buy the new trucks for the board (You'll have to eventually anyways). The rubber wheels on the board are certainly a pretty sweet ride if you like smoothness too!

Yes, the wheels do spin freely on the 2 pairs that I purchased. In the beginning they were a little tight (small spin) but over time (about 3 weeks of daily skating) they loosened up.

nah, they tend to skip and hop when I try to slide with them. You CAN slide with them, in fact I learned how to slide with them. They're just not great for it. They're great cruising wheels, they're big and soft and they keep momentum well.

Yes, it adjusts to what seems to be a good height. This is a pretty great workout from the weight of the wheel.

You would need to get clip less pedals put on the spin bike for your shoes work, but yes can be done.
