Overview

The Red Star Spitfire 78A Hockey Wheels are a versatile wheel that provides solid grip on indoor and outdoor surfaces. The high quality Dura-thane™ and Glu-Thane™ technologies used when making this wheel provide players with great grip that will be sure to last.

  • Ideal Playing Surface:  Sport Court, Wood, Smooth Concrete
  • Hardness Guidelines:
    • 78A = 185 lbs and above
    • Hardness selection should be based on player weight and skating ability.  A player can choose a wheel designated for a heavier skater if they have advanced skating skills to compress the wheel enough to grip.  This will allow the player to maximize their speed. 
  • Fit Guidelines:  Standard hub wheel designed for the standard 608 bearing size

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.
