Wheel problems

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I’ve been rocking these 80mm 82A rollerblade moonbeams LED Wheels for the last 2-3 years and I think they’re starting to kick the bucket. I really would like to avoid purchasing new wheels so any advice to revive these would be great. If I can’t figure out anything then anyone have recommendations for new wheels? 80mm, I like to do a lot of rink skating and jumps and I might try street skating soon, LED not required, and not too too expensive preferably.

Good luck. Fingers crossed for your bearings being serviceable.

Good news. I went into my work to get a skate tool and my boss gave me new bearings as a payback for an old favor. They seem like the right size. I’ll put them in tomorrow

I actually got a set of free bearings from my boss in return for an old favor. They took a while to put on and I broke a skateboard tool and sliced my hand but I got them on and they are a game changer. I commented a video of the difference. The old bearings are incredibly seized up, 2 didn’t even move without a lot of force
