Previous Feedback
Comments: Strong wheel with a good grip. I play on an outdoor rink and have held up for about 6 weeks of playing 3 times a week. I still haven't rotated them yet probably will in about 3 weeks. I play in Los Angeles so they are good in the heat. I'd say for the price they are worth it.
