The Conventional Skate Wheel Rotation Strategy

The most frequently recommended method for rotating inline skate wheels is the "1 to 3" and "2 to 4" system. This is what most inline skate manufacturers recommend, because they want to keep things simple for the average recreational skater. The method: simply flip the wheels over (so they will wear on the opposite edge) and rotate them like this:


Rotate From Rotate To
Skates With 4 Wheels
#1 - Front #3 - Middle Back
#2 - Middle Front #4 - Back
#3 - Middle Back #1 - Front
#4 - Back #2 - Middle Front
Skates With 5 Wheels
#1 - Front #4 - Middle Back
#2 - Middle Front #5 - Back
#3 - Middle #1 - Front
#4 - Middle Back #2 - Middle Front
#5 - Back #3 - Middle
Skates With 3 Wheels
#1 - Front Largest wheel #1
#2 - Middle Smallest Wheel
#3 - Back Largest Wheel #2
