Features of FR Downtown 76 mm/85A inline skating wheels 

• Diameter 76 mm — great both for urban, freestyle, and fitness skating. It provides a good compromise between speed and manoeuvrability.
• Hardness 85A — typical for wheels designed for hard surfaces, such as asphalt or concrete. This hardness ensures good durability and resistance to abrasion, while maintaining sufficient grip.
• Round, full profile — The shape of the wheels provides greater stability for the skates and facilitates overcoming small irregularities of asphalt or cobblestones, resulting in a smoother and more stable ride.

FR Downtown 76 mm/85A offer high wear resistance

• Minimal core size — The FR Downtown 76 mm/85A wheels with a smaller core and more urethane provide better cushioning and shock absorption. This means they handle urban surface irregularities better, such as curbs or uneven pavement slabs. The smaller core also increases the overall flexibility of the wheel, translating into greater durability, as the wheel 'works' better during skating.
• Optimized for urban skating — The FR Downtown wheels are specifically designed for urban conditions, where variable surfaces are common and good grip is needed. The combination of a smaller core and more urethane offers better grip and riding comfort, which is crucial in an urban environment.
• Durability against damage — The thicker urethane is more resistant to cuts and other damage that can occur when riding on urban surfaces. This means that these wheels are more resistant to cracks and other mechanical damages.

FR Downtown 76 mm/85A inline skating wheels — Remember!

Taking care of evenly wearing wheels is key to maintaining skates in good condition. If during skating a skate unexpectedly changes direction, or if after setting the skates flat, the front or rear wheel spins loosely, a quick rotation between the skate wheels is necessary. Regularly swapping wheels prevents the formation of unwanted edges and maintains their original shape.

For the optimization of wheel rolling, the manufacturer recommends using precision spacers with a width of 10.10 mm, which can be purchased here.
