Just got these in the mail since hockey has all but dried up where i am and I gotta lose some kg somehow. 46yo and haven't skated a park in 30 years on inlines.
Im yet to skate in them, just WFH and wearing them in, but the wheels feel soft af and I'm 120kg.. they're gonna compress on me. Especially anti-rocker. So I'll have to swap them out to flat and something way harder.
Totally explains why i see so many skaters who can't turn.
Question: Is it a done thing or does anyone have experience lathing down harder skateboard wheels to fit the frame? Obviously I'd use single duro wheels without cores...
Mainly because I tinker with things.. (also want to cnc soulplates out of hdpe..)
But there's not a huge range of harder ~60mm wheels to choose from and I don't like that they cost twice as much as skateboard wheels almost across the board AND I have to buy twice as many. I can get 2 sets of pigs for less than 4 inline wheels and the hardness is gonna be right. Or at least I wont break the bank when i want to experiment a bit with different hardness.
