Which plate is better, aluminum or nylon?
Last Updated: 08/23/2011
This depends on what the skater prefers. Both nylon and aluminum plates have double action trucks, Nylon is slightly lighter, and this will only have a slight difference in the weight of the skates. We do recommend aluminum plates if you are over 200 lbs. Choose what is best for you.
