Introduction

• Skateboarding is a popular sport among the
  youngsters. Skateboard wheels allow the skaters
  to move around with an amazing speed. Skaters do
  try to experiment with various wheels while
  skating. When it comes to choosing the best
  skateboard wheels, the choice depends on multiple
  factors, specifically the surface it will be used
  upon. Picking a new set of wheels requires you to
  assess these factors like size, the degree of
  hardness, diameter, durometer, durability, and
  colors. These wheels are usually made up of
  polyurethane as its structural material. Size of
  the wheel is determined by its diameter and the
  hardness of the wheel is assessed by its
  durometer. The interests of the skaters determine
  the selection of perfect skateboard wheels. A
  huge range of wheels are available in the market
  and skaters can pick up anyone depending on their
  skating skills and needs.

Bearings of skateboard wheel

• The skateboard wheels and bearings are embedded
  into each other. Most wheels need a set of 8
  bearings. On both sides of the wheels core two
  bearings are fixed. To enhance the performance of
  the wheels most of the skaters insert a spacer in
  the middle of two bearings. Bearings come in
  different materials and price range. Beginners
  can also opt for cheap skateboard wheels that are
  decent in quality. Skating surface Another
  crucial factor while picking the wheel is to
  consider your skating surface. Very hard or
  slippery surface requires softer wheels as
  compared to softer or grippier surface that needs
  harder wheel options.

The weight of the Skaters

• Though there isnt any set rule that describes
  the relationship between the physique of the
  skater and wheel size, it is vital for selecting
  a wheel. Every skater may need wheels with
  different durometer according to their own
  desires. In general, the higher the weight of the
  skater, more hard is the requirement of skates,
  simply because the bodyweight will put pressure
  on the wheels. The opposite holds true for
  lightweight skaters. Parameters like diameter and
  durometer might not create much difference for
  the beginners but as you master the skating skill
  choosing the correct wheel becomes important.
  Bulkier skater must choose larger wheel size
  unlike skinny skaters such as kids, who may need
  a smaller size of the wheel.

Contact Patch

• Contact Patch is the area of the wheel that
  actually touches the pavements. For large
  longboards, one needs a bigger contact patch.
  These larger contact patches help in distributing
  the weight of the skater equally on to the board.
