Roll-Line Linea Plates
« on: June 26, 2020, 12:29:13 PM »
Skates U.S. advertised these rollerblade plates in Skate magazine recently.  I was intrigued, so I went to their website:

https://skatesus.com/product/roll-line-linea/

Very expensive - $500 plus mounting plates and boots. They come with a complete set of Wheels, Bearings, tools and professional toe stops as well as "Spacers." (?)

They have two interesting features:

Rockering System

By rotating the medial mechanism, it’s possible to obtain a different setting of the central wheel with the goal of replicate the same rockering used on the ice blades:

 .   Possibility to position the central wheel in a more rearward or frontward position.
 .   The wheel may be also moved up or down.
 .   Up to 6 different setting options.


Rear Wheel Positioning

The backward wheel can be placed in two different positions:

.    The more internal housing is studied to place the rear wheel into a similar position of a traditional quad skate, just under the ankle bone.
.    The more external housing is studied to place the rear wheel into a similar position of a traditional ice blade, posteriorly to the ankle bone.

Note: not available for sizes 8 and 8 1/2

I'll bet that the "spacers" included are wedges to help the roller plate mate better with the non-flat bottoms of boots. That's a good idea.

I like the rockering adjustments on those too. It looks to be a nice package.
