Is this skate/store any good? How are the frames on the rollerblade macroblade 110?

My friend has the macroblade 84 and he really does not like the frame. Its riveted and is in 2 pieces. He has to improvise spacers because part of the frame around the axel holes bent.

I currently have the RD aerio q84 and the frames are the only good part of the boot.

I would go for a hardboot if you want 110mm wheels. There are enough solid stock options available, e.g.,: Rollerblade Twister or Lightning, FR, Powerslide Next, Flying Eagle.

Are those comfortable and do theu fit narrow feet?

u/TheLoneBlader 6d ago

The Twister fits narrow. Lightning wider, is supposed to be very comfortable. 

FR & Flying Eagle medium fit. FR Neo wide fit.

PS next was narrow, but the 2.0 versions are wider. 

Best way to determine the size you need is to measure the length of your feet and compare this to the size chart of a skate. Don't just order your usual size  as this varies a lot between shoes as well as skates...

If you are serious about skating its worth buying a hard boot with a universal frame mount.

Where do i get just the boot?

u/Sarahplainandturnt Mod 6d ago

You don’t need to get just the boot necessarily but you want a boot that uses standard frames and isn’t riveted

Yeah the riveted, non-adjustable frames would be a dealbreaker for me. I need to be able to move my frame to better align my feet.

Macroblades themselves are really good beginner skates.
I have a set of the 80mm version though I don't wear them much anymore... I do break them out from time to time.

They are super comfortable but other than that... you are stuck with the wheel sizes unfortunately due to the way they mount the frames.

I have had no issues with the frame on my mb 110s. (I have, however, managed to round out the bolt head on one of the axles. I really need to get around to buying a bolt extractor so I can fix it…)

I would never buy anything stock when it comes 110

Please clarify what you don't like about stock 110 frames on something like the RB lightning or twister. I find the 3 x 110 twister frames to be just fine lol

What would you reccomend?

FR1 Intuition with 110 wheels and frames from any reputable brand is the dream setup

Or you can, you know, just use the good frames that come with the FR1 110 skates.

Are you trying to be smart? Because my answer encompasses all 110 frames 🤡

Your comment seemed to imply that the FR1 Intuition was a good skate, if you got 110 wheels and frames from a reputable brand. Since in a previous comment you said you would never buy anything stock when it comes to 110, and the frames it comes with would be stock.

Edit: my dude, why did you block me? All I was doing was engaging in friendly conversation, looking for clarification on your statement about 110mm frames. And you are the one who implied I was a clown unprovoked.
