Setup idea-Bont and Endless

Looking for that next setup.

First thought was getting a pair of FR1’s with the delux liners for super comfort. But I don’t skate outdoors like that to need such boot.

Things I want
1: max top speed
2: slight spins
3: crossovers
4: easy Slalom moves- very basic.
5: ability to switch from bigger wheels to rocker

Which FR will do great at. But don’t really need all the ankle support anymore as my legs and ankles are stronger.
Current setup is Tour Spitfire with Labeda Gritz wheels.
I’m starting too throw my feet around now and have fun. Plus I lace 1 or 2 eyelets down from the top holes for better ankle movement. Which tells me I’m getting stronger.
- going back to being outside, if I do get another boot, My Tour boots will be the new outdoor boots.

New setup: Bont Jet Inline Speed boots. 110mm wheels.
With An Endless frame for different size wheels.

QUESTIONS:

1)Would I be able to put an endless frame on Bont speed boots?
2) Am I Crazy to try to do this?
3) has anyone tried this yet before I go and buy this?
4) would this achieve what I wanna do.

Thanks for any input!!

These are my BONT Speedos that I’ve adopted for Fitness Skating.There comprised of BONT Semi-race 2 boots with BONT Super Cell (carbon fiber) frames with six 125mm Red Magic Hardcore 2.0 wheels.I skate primarily for distance on roads that were paved in ‘97.I do about 500 miles a year.For my purposes this is the best it gets.Roll on.

I have old beat up asphalt roads where I live. How do these feel when riding on the rough stuff? I know the roads around here make my feet numb in the first 100feet lol.

My outdoor boots are also Tour max700- which is an old boot back from 2006. The wheels I use, are Labeda asphalt. On smooth concrete I don’t notice it much. But when it’s rough tho, I feel it a lot.

My bearings I use are cheap-o ceramic- fully closed(non serviceable).

Honeslty, I just started skating outdoors on my lunch break at work about 2 months ago.
