    Fat boy wheels

    So heres the deal. I weigh 260 lbs and love to play hockey. The problem im having is that the stock wheels on my skates are rolling off of the hubs after 22 games. I play indoors on a wood surface, I am a beginner to intermediate player still learning how to skate well. I need advice on the best wheels for a guy my size. I will be using a HI LO setup (72/80) since my new skates are shot. Im not made of money, just signed a contract on a new house. Im under the impression that a higher durometer would be better for me regardless of playing surface just because im heavy. Anybody got some good info? Thanks.

    I tried a bunch of different wheels myself. I also shredded a bunch of different wheels. I am 6'2"- 220. When I skate on wood floors I use Revision-Bronze wheels (for people over 200lbs.) They work great for me and they dont break. For sport court I like Labeda Fusion wheels they are x-soft but still work great for me.

    Rocky,
    What wheels ae you using now?
    I'd suggest the Labeda Grippers in a Medium hardness. Thats what I used to use on wood.
