I see some roller skis with wide wheels, some with narrow ones. Which ones are better? What is the difference?

There are two techniques in roller skis, classical or skating, just like in nordic skiing. So there are no better wheels, just different practice. Skating is more similar to roller blades in the movement. I would recommend you watch a video to get the difference between the two.

This is a guess Terry, as you haven't provided much to go on, but you may find that one had harder, denser projections than the other. I'm sorry, but without access to the exact info in the web page you are viewing, I can't tell you which is which, though my guess would be that the cheaper one is the softer one. I hope that helps, such as it is. Unless you are an experienced rumble roller user, personally I would opt for the soft option.

I'm using 71mm wheels. I'm more of a cruiser so if you are wanting to do slides and such I am not sure what wheels to use. I suggest looking on some forums for a more educated answer.

Honestly, I don't have the specs on that. But the details of this item said they should fit all skates. Actually that was not the issue that I had with these wheels. I felt that they were a softer wheel then my last ones. Then I noticed my last wheels were hockey wheels that lasted forever. I am certain these will not be as durable. I think hockey wheels are the way to go. Next time I will get them. I am using these wheels but if they start to wear quickly I am going to exchange them.

My first suggestion would be the adjustable 1-4 size skate -- working out just fine. If I were to order a standard skate, I'd go with a 2. Marilyn

I changed mine out for some 80mm wheels. You'll barely feel any crack or rocks in the road with those. It's various places online you can buy them.. You can buy them here

The Bob is so much better for jogging... I had the bob and then bought this one when we moved to the city because it is more narrow. But the bob is smoother and easier with the bigger wheels and there's really no comparison for a jogger.

the bigger wheels are easier to maneuver around for the person using this. by the way.... this is a great walker. But get the bigger wheels.... also less likely to hang up on something and crash

The brake does not lock which I didn't find to be an issue. After reading a few reviews regarding the single or double back wheels, I went with the single because it doesn't get in the way of your pushing foot. Also, these all-terrain wheels roll over carpets and thresholds, no problem, as well as, sidewalks/pavement and asphalt. Turning radius is not great but if you have room in your home, its perfect. Not having to always use crutches was a plus.

I would find the same kind of wheels at any sports store that sell roller skates, skateboards, etc.Hope this help. Regards.

The lower wheel was a tiny bit out of true. The blade that comes with the saw (5/8") rode perfectly on the wheel. But when I changed to a 1/4 or 1/8 inch blade it started riding on the outside of the wheel. Customer service walked me through the process of getting that straight. Customer service was friendly and helpful without being condescending. Also we looked at the brand of blade I was using. Also it turns out that Timberwolf blades did not work well on the saw. What we saw was that two blades the same width had way different tension settings when installed on the saw. I hope that helps. The lower wheel was a tiny bit out of true.

NOT wide. Pay extra and get the one with WIDE wheels. It would cost more then the cart itself to convert to wider wheels !!

23's are more narrow and faster. Depends on the kind of riding. They are a heavier tyre because of the layers of threads and designed to take a few more rocks and stickers. More difficult to get on and if you flat. If it's endurance you ride, get the 25's. A bit smoother.

i've tried other brands' long rollers, but they are not interchangeable, or as large. i would recommend purchasing the roller specifically made for these rollers...they are very well made, and come with an extender for a longer reach. i've had mind for years and it is holding up very well.

Gravel tends to get stuck in the grooves of the wheels and they need regular cleaning to make sure the grooves are free of debris. Also, if you're looking for speed, then these are not the skates for you. The grooves make them a bit slower than smooth wheels. If you are a beginner or haven't skated in many years, these are a great "starter" pair.

Shorter Wheel base will give you snappy turns longer wheels base is less carvy and more stable like he said stick to your width unless you know what your doing.
