Wheel rotation describes inline skate maintenance that involves moving the wheels from one frame position to another and from one skate to the other to balance wheel wear patterns. All polyurethane skate wheels show signs of use and eventually wear out, but wheel life can be extended by rotating the wheels and using the ones with less wear in positions that get the most stress and surface wear.
- Proper wheel rotation will save money by extending the life of your wheels.
- Rotation helps maintain a comfortable skating experience.
- Wheel rotation is important for the safe use of inline skates.
