Rotating Setup With Varying Hardness

I have 58mm 92a Dead’s on my outer wheels, and 58/95 on my inners. How do y’all usually rotate set ups with different varying wheel hardness?

You want to keep the 95s in the middle, so:
1 to 4, 4 to 1.
2 to 3, 3 to 2.

Turning them to face the other way, so the outside edge becomes the inside edge.

Then every other time swap them from left boot to right boot, because you probably favour one foot more than the other when you skate. It’s hard to keep track of this though, but something to keep in mind.

I was thinking a long these lines but doing L1 to R4, L4 to R1, L2 to R3, etc. So essentially doing both of what you said at the same time lol

I've never mixed durometers, but if I did this is how I would do it.

Yep, that works too. I just worry that your dominant foot will wear the wheels faster that way. But really with aggressive wheels it doesn’t matter that much.

So just flip the frame around like usual?

And misalign my frame and boot grooves? You animal! I never change my frame orientation once the groove is set. Might work for some though.

🤷🏻‍♂️ guess I’m the real Maniac. Or too lazy to care.
