i‘ve been starting to roller blade lately, and i have newish blades that i got from a friend. her roller blades are alot easier to skate in, and her wheels feel harder. mine are like a little squishier. should i get different wheels or should i just keep blading untill i wear them down?
Go to walmart and spend $15 on a mighty-vac. You don't want the brakes on a bike to perform marginally. A mighty-vac is a cheap little plastic tool that creates vacuum. People them to bleed brakes and check for vacuum leak on things. You might have to check an auto parts store but our walmart has them. When I was wrenching, I knew a guy that strung a long hose between the bleeders on the caliper to the vacuum fitting on the carbs, then he started the motor and yanked the hose off just before the fluid reached the carbs! I never got that brave but it worked.
Rollerblade is a brand of in-line skates, NOT a type of skates. Just so youll know.

Hi Sunshine! You can always upgrade your wheels and bearings to improve performance. If the wheels feel soft it could be that their made for indoors. The durameter scale for wheel hardness goes something like this: Indoor wheels: 78A to 82A Outdoor wheels: 84A to 90A and above. The durameter should be stamped on the wheel along with size. Before they wear down you'll want to take note of these specs so you get the correct ones next time. Hope that helps and happy skating!
