SIMS
2-Tone
Street Snakes
62mm 78a  Polyurethane Wheels


PLEASE NOTE:
These wheels are specially dyed to order so are therefore a 'custom made' item
 
Sims have always been a favourite and they are back in a slightly different design and with a much improve core.
These are specially dyed just as they used to be in the 80's and 90's 
Choose your colour and if you what something different get in touch and we see what we can do.

8 x Sims street snake wheels, enough for 1 pair of roller skates.

62mm diameter
35mm wide
78a (soft) urethane

The wheel are made from high rebound polyurethane with a tough nylon core to hold the bearings. They are very grippy and smooth and are ideal for multi surface use, you can use them out side on rough surfaces and the little stones will not stick in them so they can still be used in your local rink, they are fast, quiet and last for ages.

XTRA INFO: 
if you want to know:

ABOUT WHEEL HARDNESS
wheels are made of polyurethane of different hardness:
Soft wheels for street skating and general use, they are also more grippy
Hard wheels for smooth surfaces like rinks and skate parks, they are also more slidey
graded with a suffix 'a', as the number goes higher the harder the polyurethane
eg;   78a (soft)   90a (medium)    100a (hard) 

ABOUT BEARINGS ABEC@
Bearings are rated from ABEC 1-9 (Annular Bearing Engineers Committee)the higher the rating the tighter the tolerances. ABEC is not the only thing to consider when selecting bearings.
Higher ratings may be appropriate for products like high speed routers at 20,000 - 30,000 RPM, but skates with a 62mm wheel at 20,000 RPM will be travelling in the region of 146 MPH!!! Since most skating is done under 30 MPH where your bearings will see about 4084 RPM
A quality ABEC 1 bearing is well beyond what you will require but ABEC 3 is the most common rating these days.
The skate environment is so different to an engineering workshop so some skate bearings are not ABEC rated but are skate rated and designed to consider high impact landings, side loadings from turning and to some extent, a more dirty environment (made with removable shields for easier maintenance).
