Re: [inline-instruction] Help with big wheels

Tina ....

I had the same issues with my RB Marathon Carbon.  The standard 100mm wheels and
dedicated frame were not conducive to teaching.  I simply removed the stock
frame and bolted on a smaller-wheel fitness frame.  That way both the wheel size
was more appropriate and the brake unit matched the lower height.  On mine, I
first modified a Roces aluminum chassis.  I later replaced that with a RB Core
Carbon frame.

Hey can anyone tell me if putting 80mm wheels on fitness skates that
are

designed for 100's or 90's work well?



Also what to do with the break using the smaller wheels.



I need a response asap!
