Just bought Vapor XXR skates...

Just bought Vapor XXR skates and I think the different size wheels are really killing my back! I had bought new 76mm labeda shooters wheels for my old skates 2 weeks before I found out the boot was too small.

Should I swap out the mis-matched wheels on the Vapor skates for the 76mm wheels?

Not sure if the boot was made to use with the different wheels setup....

Any suggestions would be appreciated :)

Thanks!

shouldn't you use whichever wheel combo has the right diameters to put them all on the ground (e.g. 72-72-80-76
)? otherwise won't it skate like crap
(or is this one where the wheel combo it comes with is funky so it gets around some license on the hi-lo concept?)

I think the odd combo would try to replicate the feeling of an ice skate where as the ice blade does not touch all points at once, rather it rockers back and fourth.

I ordered some Labeda Dynastys in 76mm straight through so hopefully i'll have better luck with these wheels.

I just got these skates also, but I did not notice a difference with the back wheel. If you want to replace a wheel you are supposed to replace the back one with a 80mm that way it will be a traditional hi-lo setup.
