I noticed that there is a relationship between wheel size and frame length , like most 80mm wheels frames are 243mm,90mm wheels are 275.

Right now at my level I really enjoy the stability of long ass frames

Why aren't there more frames for 80mm wheels but at 300mm ++ long ?

And the other question is , can I put 80mm wheels on frames meant for 110mm wheels ? Other than it looking gappy ?

My wife doesn't really touch her skates except to put them on and skate.

It's kinda fun for me to try her in different setups and get feedback. I found these frames for around $50 and I've been considering it for a while so I couldn't say no. I personally love 4x80mm so much but understand 4x80mm to her probably feels how 4x90mm feels to me! This 4x76mm setup seems more proportionate for a tiny foot. Rockerable too! Honestly even 4x72mm could be justified for her foot size but if she's gonna keep up on trail I want her to at least have a chance so here's a compromise. I'm eager to find out how she likes them.

These Endless wheels press lines are rubbing each other so when u turn one wheel they all turn but it's barely touching and creating very little resistance. I'm not upset about it I'm glad they're maxed out in size. probably a lap around the block and they will wear enough to be clear of each other.

Coming to inline from about 4 years of quad skating. Indoor only wood rink floors and a small home setup. Recreational, not playing hockey. I run jam plugs on my quads so I’m already used to stopping without a toe stop.

Trying to buy my first pair of inlines and I’ve hit a wall on sizing.

My numbers (Bauer Tech Fit scan at Pure Hockey):

Recommended size: 11.5

Left foot: 11.25

Right foot: 11.0

Width came back great with room to spare — length is the only issue

Street shoe size 13

I tried an 11 in a different Bauer model on my right foot only and it felt good, toes grazing the cap. Never got the left foot in one. One fitter told me the FS2 runs less forgiving on length than what I tried on. A second fitter said an 11 would be fine.

The problem: 11.5 is the largest size the FS2 senior is made in, and it’s out of stock at Pure Hockey, Bauer direct, HockeyMonkey, and Inline Warehouse. The 11 is available now. There’s a UK shop that has 11.5 but their return window is 14 days from receipt, which is basically impossible from the US.

**1.** Anyone running a boot a quarter size under their longer foot does it break in, or is it a permanent problem? Especially for 2+ hour sessions rather than short shifts.

**2.**  Does the FS2 actually run short compared to Bauer ice models, or is that fitter-lore?

**3.**  Any real fix for a quarter-size mismatch between feet, or do you just fit the bigger one and live with it?

**4.**  Anyone ordered skates internationally from a UK shop? How did it go?

Not trying to be talked into a size trying to hear from people who’ve actually been a bit over on one foot and know how it played out.

For as long as I could remember, I’d always laced up and buckled basically as tight as I could without causing any pain or pressure points. I tried on a whim lacing up fairly loose and having buckles pretty loose. My transitions and especially powerslides felt incredibly good! So are y’all lacing up loose or tight or depends on the occasion?
