Q: What is the specification of the wheels?
A: • DINO THUNDER - 62MM x 33MM, 95A (Diameter x Width, Hardness)
Q: Is aluminium frame better than plastic frame?
A: Aluminium frames outperform plastic in roller hockey by being stiffer for faster power transfer, stronger for impacts and aggressive play, and more stable for precise control during quick turns and stops.
Plastic flexes more, wasting energy under hard use ideal only for entry level or casual skating, not competitive hockey.
Q: What’s the difference between 7mm and 8mm axles in roller skates?
A: 7mm and 8mm axles are the parts of the skate that the wheel and bearing assembly fits onto. The main difference is diameter: 7mm axles are slimmer and lighter, while 8mm axles are thicker, generally stronger, and more common on modern skates. Some skaters prefer 7mm for its lighter, tighter feel, while 8mm is usually chosen for durability, availability, and everyday use.
Q: Is there any recommended skater weight for choosing between 7mm or 8mm axles?
A: There is no universal weight cutoff for choosing between 7mm and 8mm axles. In general, 7mm axles are lighter and may feel slightly more responsive, while 8mm axles are stronger, more common, and usually preferred for heavier skaters or more aggressive skating.
Q: What does (MM) mean on skate wheels, and why do wheels with the same size and hardness perform differently?
A: Wheel diameter is measured in millimetres (MM), indicating size. Bigger wheels roll faster and smooth over rough surfaces; smaller ones give better control for tricks.
Wheels with same MM and A differ due to material, shape, core design, surface texture, and manufacturing precision, impacting grip, speed, and feel.
Q: What does (A) mean on skate wheels?
A: (A) shows hardness - softer (lower numbers) grips better for outdoor smoothness; harder (higher) rolls faster indoors and lasts longer. MM and A together match wheels to your style: speed, control, or smoothness.
