Proper Roller Skate Repair

Falls quite often. This brings him not only unpleasant bruises and abrasions, but also damages his equipment. But if scratches and chips are completely normal to protect, then it’s a pity to look at the videos themselves when, after the first weeks, they look 10 years older. Therefore, the repair of roller skates is an urgent issue that can be solved in two ways: going to the master or restoring your favorite vehicle with your own hands. And do not be surprised - the entire repair of the rollers and their maintenance is quite possible to do it yourself.

Common problems

The most common problem is the failure of the roller wheel bearings. A lot of dust settles on them, sand and dirt get clogged, and over time they begin to make unpleasant sounds - rattle and creaks. Therefore, it is important to regularly diagnose and clean all bearings. If you do not forget to carry out such maintenance, the roller skates will last a very long time.

Oddly enough, but one of the most important factors that beginner scooters do not pay attention to is the choice of socks for pokatushek. It is not recommended to wear those socks that quickly absorb moisture. This mainly applies to cotton products, the wearing of which will lead to an eternally wet climate inside the rollers, which will give a significant decrease in ride comfort. In order to avoid this, you need to use special socks for riding, which will protect the shoes from the accumulation of moisture, and the legs - from corns and blisters.

Repair of main components of rollers

The design of the rollers is quite simple, and even a child can assemble / disassemble them without using the instructions. But there are a number of problems that sometimes arise when you do the repair of roller skates with your own hands. Let's consider them in more detail.

The problem of "non-twisting" bolts

Wheels come in various sizes and degrees of rigidity. Large diameters are used on rollers designed for high-speed skating, and small diameters give the roller significant maneuverability. Softer wheels have increased elasticity, which provides increased traction, and solid samples wear less. But no matter how good the wheels of the rollers are, they are subject to active wear, and therefore sooner or later there comes a time when it is time to replace or rearrange them.

When removing one wheel, the roller may be faced with the fact that he cannot remove the second, because the bolt is stuck, as if it were attached to the frame. In this case, you don’t need to put much pressure on it - it will only aggravate the situation, especially when the groove is already damaged and there is a high probability of simply breaking the thread. Here you need to act carefully, resorting to the help of WD-40. After treating it with a surface around the axis, gently unscrew it, do not apply much effort to remove rust without damage. In order to prevent this situation from happening again, do not tighten the axles of the rollers very tightly.

Hex Stall

If you still pressed too hard while unscrewing the axle or bolt and tore off the hexagon, you should not panic. There is a solution - use the asterisk bit, which is included in any set of tool kits (often this is the Torx T-27).


  1. Put the roller on a hard surface (you can even on the curb, if there is no workbench) so that it has only the wheel hub - this is done so that the frame does not bend during impacts.
  2. Take the bat and place it in the hexagon.
  3. With moderate tapping, drive it into the hole.
  4. Unscrew it with a screwdriver for bits. Done!

There is a way to restore the hole after such a barbaric method - using epoxy. Pour it into a damaged place and leave the hexagon in it until it dries. But still it’s better to replace the axis with a new one.

Axis Problem Solving

All rollers collide with the breakdown of the axis of the rollers, and friskeyters and aggressors are more likely than others. Repair of this unit usually does not cause problems, for this you just need to go to the nearest store, buy and put in new parts. And sometimes you don’t need to go - some roller manufacturers put spare ones in the set of rollers.

The type of fastener is very important, because for different styles they are very different. For example, in rollers for fitness, the bolts are screwed into the axis thread, and in the friskeyter models, they are bolted to the frame.

It is also encouraging that the axles are almost everywhere in standard sizes and finding the right one is not difficult.

When the buckle is out of order

This breakdown mainly haunts aggressive skiing enthusiasts. As you know, buckle is the top clasp on the skate’s cuff made of plastic. It breaks with hard falls and bumps. It is unlikely that it will be possible to restore the buckle itself, therefore, most likely, you will have to buy a new sample, which is not so easy to find, and install on rollers.

If there is no damage to the fasteners, and only the fastener is faulty, then there will be no problems with repair - just unscrew the bolt and insert a new one. But in the event of a breakdown of the fastener hole, there will be difficulties: you need to take a drill and drill a new hole. Here you need clarity of calculation and a firm hand, so if in doubt about your own strengths, it is better to turn to the master.
