I have no idea what the hardness of mine are. They're the new type that's a dual pour as they call it where the middle is hard and the outter is softer. I think i need new wheels as I can feel a slight slip when I skate on sportcourt in Langley. Might be different for me when I try it on cement. |
84a is pretty hard for indoor... i use 76 i believe |

do they sell roller hockey wheels at scoff's hockey on hastings? do you guys think it would work if i had 2 76a wheels on the outside and 2 84a wheels in the inside? |
What's outside and what's inside? |
like (76 84 84 76) is one of my rollerblades 76 being the back wheel and front wheel |
that is one weird set up. sounds like a rocker chassis? if it is rocker, you're gonna be slipping a bit due to the hard compound in the middle |

Maybe I'll come watch a game and see what it's like lol somebody pm me with a game time. ps. Nobody has a spot open??? :( edit: @revyouup, you put the two larger wheels in the middle??? isn't that weird as hell to skate on? |
Playing hockey outdoors is a different animal compared to indoor. Not saying that you'd suck balls indoor, but saying it's an adjustment. Go to vihl.net n check the schedule out. |

We also rented planet ice a couple times so our roller hockey guys could scrimmage against some actual teams. I should of asked what teir they were. But I knwo what you mean, I couldn't believe how much resistance there was when you tried to skate compared to outdoors. It's pretty slippery too. |
If you've played ice before I'd say go check out some iron or nickel games to see what the compeition is like there |
na 84 is just the hardness of the wheels..would it work if they were all the same size? o.O |

If your decent, ie no prob with skating, decent wrist and snap shot, can actually take slapshops without fanning or falling down afterwards, you should be able to play in copper(?) the one down from bronze. It has been a few years since I've played in bronze and I was a pretty average player there, I know the skill level has gotten a lot better since then and I don't think I can keep up anymore(age also becoming a factor) but if your an average player with decent skills, anywhere from copper to nickel is your best bet |

3 years in ball hockey, very good shooting. My only real concern is getting walked by some 25 year old superstars. I'll just go watch a game or two and see what its like. |
Just as I suspected. If you want good competition, bronze and copper. If you want to feel superstar-ish...go lower! haha. But this is roller hockey, there will always be a ringer in every div. Hope you have fun in vihl this year though! |
My vihl team is getting together tonight to practice at the langley sportsplex from 12am - 2am for our first game tomorrow. We're looking for another goalie that has full equipment or enough as we're going to go hard and will be fully suited up. You don't have to have rollerblades, playing on feet is fine but having rollerblades would be good. It'll be FREE for you to come. Please text or call me at 604-908-8161 if interested. |
hardness of a wheels isnt always associated with outdoor indoor.. there are some really sticky wheels that are above 78a. Depending if you are a foward or D, you want a diff setup and do not want the same grippiness across the board.. personal preference, but I would want softer wheels on the back and harder up front (as a forward)... so straight away speed isnt affected by soft wheels that have too much friction. |
when does pich start? |
Pich starts end of april |
:fuuuuu: my rollerblades are messed up..after i cleaned them i couldnt get one of the wheels to fit back into the chasis...i think it bent a bit and now im screwed.. |

hey guys im cleaning my bearings right now..What kind of lube should i use to lubricate them? Man I shall never play in the rain again...my bearings are all filled with chunks of mud and crap |
^i hope you have separate wheels for indoor.... are you cleaning them out properly? as in takign out the c ring and removing the protective plate, and soaking them in citris wash? there are special lube for bearings.. if i were you, i would designate a set of wheels and bearings for outdoor... you can get some decent abec 5+ for a decent price in store, and especially off ebay. |
I'm still looking for a team :( I have a buddy who would also like to join if there's 2 spots Posted via RS Mobile |
yea i bought new wheels..and yea im taking out the cring and cleaning the bearings individually where can i buy bearing lube? and where can i buy spacers for my bearings? I bought a set of bearings and I didn't know they didn't come with spacers. |
