mission 03 d-limited for outdoor

[blacklab]

I just bought a pair of these really cheap. I'll only be using them for outdoor surfaces. They come with labeda melenioums, what wheels would make a good cheap repalcement. They also have high end bearings (9). Should i replace these as well?

Hey Black: Be careful using these outside. After four outdoor games, I put a deep gash on the inside boot of one and both inside bumpers have worn to the boot surface.

Since then, I've played only indoor games and have found virtually no wear. A great skate for wood and tile. No complaints, however, the Labedas are a major disappointment. They started chunking out after 6 months on wood.

The bearings are fast. Combined with the light boot, they'll increase your speed. If you keep them on, clean them often or they won't last.

Happy skating!

"The Labedas are a major dissapointment, they started chunking out after 6 months on wood"..were you being facetious? Most people are happy to get 4-6 weeks out of their Milleniums on Sport Court, let alone on the grippy surface exhibited by most wood surfaces. Not sure if those were Milleniums or not though, possibly the older "Grippers" which are a good wheel for wood.

Thanks for the info. Guess I didn't realize how lucky I was they lasted that long. Gonna try Rink Rats next time, though.
