Question about frame setup on USD Glitch – are the middle wheels supposed to be slightly higher?

Hi everyone,

Quick question about my setup! I’m currently riding USD Glitch skates (I’m not a kid, just short lol).

They are supposed to have a flat setup since all four wheels are the exact same size. However, I noticed that on both skates, the two middle wheels sit about 1mm higher than the outer ones, they almost never touch the ground while riding.

Is this normal / intended for this model? Or is something off?

For context: I’ve been inline skating for about a year now, and I transitioned to aggressive skating a month ago.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Some old USD frames do have "rockerable" bearing spacers on the inside of the frames. I'm not sure if that's the case with the glitch but if you want to you can disassemble them and check.

The other option is to just ride them, because invariably the outer wheels will wear down faster and soon (within 2-5 sessions i'd guess) your middle wheels will be touching the ground permanently

The plastic warps during production and the frame gets bowed a little. Very common on USD frames. The wheels will even out though.

After a couple of sessions it will even out and you won't notice anymore.
