How do change the wheels to convert an outdoor skate into an indoor skate?
Last Updated: 08/18/2011
You should be able to change the wheels out on most pairs of skates. We actually offer indoor and outdoor wheel upgrade kits. These kits both ship with the bearings pre-pressed and a universal tool which allows for easy removal and addition of your new wheels.  It is very simple to do!  Please email contact us for more information.
