Labeda Asphalt Wheels (4 Pack)

These wheels are replacing my stock rips tick wheels. They grip well and wear three times better than stock wheels. I have about five miles on them and probably need to rotate front/back to get even wear. This is probably a 10 mile wheel for my riding style. Probably to hard for slick finished surfaces. Pop the bearing out of your stock wheels and insert them in these and hit the asphalt!

I've rollerbladed over 370 miles outdoors with this set of wheels and they are just now getting to the end of there life. They have phenomenal grip and make rolling over cracks and rough services less strenuous on your feet. They are too soft and grippy to perform power glides/stops on most outdoor surfaces.but if thats what your looking for look for a harder wheel. Overall very satisfied with the quality of these wheels.

I got these to replace the wheels on my crewbag; it gets dragged through streets and airports and hotels all over the world. A very noticeable difference when I replaced the wheels and the bearings (they were about ten years old). Writing this a year later, and the wheels are holding up fine. The bright orange makes the bag easy to spot at baggage pickup at the airport.

There are better asphalt wheels out there, but these are very good. They have good grip. I'm about 175lbs, pretty decent skater, and I play on a really bad asphalt surface. I'd say that I would get 3 good sessions out of these wheels, then two more OK ones (where I would have to rotate, etc.) before I'd have to junk the wheels/ start mixing in new wheels. I will say that the wheels on each skate wear down relatively evenly (in other words, you don't have a situation where the back wheel is really worn down but the second and third wheels are like new), which to me is a sign that the wheels are good quality.

I replaced the stock wheels on my Travelpro Crew 9 20" [http://www.amazon.com/Travelpro-Luggage-20-Inch-Expandable-Rollaboard/dp/B0089AXXMA/]. Although I read about other people doing this, I had no idea the improvement would be this huge, the bag just glides over any surface. I was concerned about how hard these would be since they are marketed as "Asphalt" without any durometer rating, but they have some give/bounce which helps with smoothness and wheel roll sound (think tile floors). I did have to grind down the bag's stock aluminum spacers by 1/16" (on the side with the larger diameter) since the bearings on the stock wheel are more recessed.

Skated for several hours on asphalt. If you skate for several hours 5-7 days a week, then I would expect the to last several months. It just depends on how hard you are on them and how much braking and grinding you do, but would buy them again for asphalt skating. I'm happy with the purchase and is advertised.

great for exercise not just roller hockey. I use these to rollerblade all around Philadelphia and they're great on pavement. Havent tried them on indoor surfaces but they work on outdoor roller rinks and city streets, etc. Big fan.

I needed new luggage wheels after my originals self disassembled in the Vancouver airport. After a lumpy roll for the rest of my trip, I priced replacements from the manufacturer, decided I certainly could find better quality wheels at those prices from the world of rollerblading, and decided on the Labeda Gripper Asphalt 76mm. They installed perfectly using a small bushing, will likely last forever in this light duty application, and as a plus the orange color makes it a lot easier to pick my black bag out from all the other black bags on the luggage carousel.
