Introducing: Our new derby wheel trial process!

Have you been considering a harder wheel? A softer wheel? Current wheels not cutting it anymore? Been eyeing up a fancy split duro setup? 

For some time now, we have had an in-store wheel library, which we have also taken to events for skaters to test. We are testing a new process that we think will help eliminate the expensive guesswork involved in buying derby wheels.

Here's the new wheel trial process: pay in advance for the full cost of the wheels (and bearings, if required), then skate at least one - two full practices at your regular venue. If you’re happy with the wheels, there's no need to follow up with us. If the wheels aren't quite right, they can be returned for a full refund or exchanged for a different set of trial wheels. Over time, we anticipate building up a selection of economically priced, gently used wheels that we can make available to skaters for purchase.

*Please note this trial process is only available for derby wheels (88A+). Outdoor/softer wheels wear significantly faster and are exposed to much rougher terrain, which quickly lowers their resale value. If you are in need of recommendations before you purchase, send us an inquiry at hello@seasideskates.co.nz !
