Speed Skate Frames
Speed Skate Frames: Engineered for Velocity
We all understand that the goal of speed skating is to skate as quickly as possible. Inline speed skate frames are crafted to help you achieve these high velocities while enhancing your performance. They are constructed from sturdy low-weight materials, such as aluminium, ensuring optimal power transfer from your feet to the surface.
Speed skate frames stand apart from standard inline skating frames due to their low centre of gravity and extended wheelbase. This design not only grants speed skates their unique appearance but also improves your stability and control at high speed. Given that speed skating wheels are large, the frames are tailored to accommodate them, with many designed for 125 mm wheels.
Aligning Your Inline Speed Skate Frames
Ensuring your frames are properly aligned is crucial for extracting the best performance and power from your inline skates. Alignment is ultimately a matter of personal preference—what suits one skater might not work for another.
If you encounter difficulties with alignment, start by centring the frame to the heel of the boot and follow suit with the front of the boot. Take a brief skate to assess the feel. Should there be any instability, adjust the frame in the same direction as the discomfort. The aim is to continue adjusting until your skates are as comfortable as wearing everyday shoes.
