Roll-Line® has created a specific frame for each level or discipline listed in the site menu. Consult the frame comparison tables for more information.
The frame should be chosen based on the shoe. Each shoe size corresponds to a frame size. For artistic shoes, there are tables compiled in collaboration with the main shoe manufacturers that indicate the recommended frame size. Here you'll find the one for the artistic quad and the in-line one.
Frame size is calculated based on the distance (expressed in millimeters) between the front and rear axles. For example, a 150 frame will have a wheelbase of exactly 150 millimeters. Obviously, the plate has a total length greater than the measurement. The rule of thumb is that to obtain the total length, add 90 millimeters to the measurement. For example, a 150 frame will be 240 millimeters long, and so on.
The assembly operation is a fairly complex operation that requires a certain amount of experience and dexterity. We recommend that you always contact one of our official dealers who will offer his professionalism.
It essentially depends on two factors. The main one is your shoe size: if your foot has grown, you'll likely need a longer frame. Even if you've previously worn a shoe that's too long, the frame size should be checked.
Check this table to find out the recommended size based on your shoe.
If you replace a worn shoe with a new one in the same size, your old frame will likely continue to be usable. However, we recommend replacing all wear parts.
For more information on how the frame should be positioned in relation to the shoe, you can watch this in-depth article.
The second factor to consider is the level you've reached. If you've made progress and opt for a higher-level shoe than your previous one, the frame should follow the same principle.
In this case your coach or one of ours official dealers will surely be able to advise you for the best.
It depends primarily on your discipline. Roll-Line® has created specific wheels for freestyle, dance, compulsory, hockey, roller derby, and inline skating. For freestyle, you can also choose the type of wheel based on your skill level. Another crucial factor is the type of floor you practice on: it's very important to choose the most appropriate hardness to ensure optimal performance and avoid excessive wear. In this case, your coach or one of our official retailers will surely be able to advise you best.
It's often recommended to cross-match wheels of different hardness to optimize performance. Wheels can be divided into running wheels and pivot wheels. It's also possible to mix wheels of different materials, such as elastomer (which tend to be faster) and polyurethane (which generally offer more grip). This guide will provide some practical examples of how to cross-match wheels correctly.
The hardness of the wheels depends on the type of surface on which you skate. If you are a beginner, just one set of Boxer wheels may be enough. As the level increases, the needs get different and so you may need some softer wheels to be used as pivot wheels and some harder ones to use as sliding wheels. It should also considered that factors such as humidity, dust etc. can affect the grip of the surfaces and that the type of floor where you train is not always similar to that where competitions are held. For this reason, it is preferable to have a variety of different types of wheels depending on where the training and competitions take place.
It's recommended to replace the wheels promptly to ensure optimal performance. The wheels should be replaced when they have a lateral conical shape as shown in this image. Changing the wheels doesn't require any time to get used to them, but it's important to check that they're as similar in wear as possible. For more information on how to change the wheels, you can watch the video tutorial.
Generally, outdoor concrete rinks require harder wheels (57-60) than indoor ones. If you want to skate on the street, however, we recommend using Helium wheels.
Yes, elastomer wheels (Giotto, Magnum, Devil) tend to be smoother, while polyurethane wheels (Fox, Panther, Mustang, Leopard) generally provide better grip. Using the two types together can often be helpful in finding the right balance between grip and smoothness. This guide will provide some practical examples of how to perform crossovers correctly.
The Magnum and Giotto wheels have a different tread profile, making the latter more agile and faster. The Giotto wheels are also recognizable by their distinctive chrome finish. The Giotto wheels are a superior choice compared to the Magnums.
While they may look similar in appearance, the Professional and Devil collections are very different. The Professional wheels (Fox, Panther, Mustang, Leopard) have a polyurethane tread, tend to be more adherent and can be used as pivot wheels on particularly slippery surfaces or in any case whenever you feel the need for greater grip. Given their characteristics, the Professional wheels guarantee greater grip but can reduce sliding. The Devil, thanks to their elastomer tread and their wide range of hardnesses, are able to provide excellent grip (especially in softer hardnesses) without compromising sliding. The Professional and the Devil can be mix and matched together.
The Freestyle wheels are the Boxer, the Magnum, the Giotto, the Devil and the Professional. All in diameter 57mm (Magnum and Giotto also available in diameter 55mm).
The Figure and Loops wheels are Magnum and Giotto. All in diameter 63mm.
The dance wheels are the ICE with a diameter of 61mm.
The hockey wheels are the Centurion (diameter 62)
Rollerderby wheels are the Gladiator (62mm diameter) and the Emperor (59mm diameter).
The In-Line wheels are the Zero ones, with diameters of 64, 68, 72, and 76 mm depending on the size of the Linea frame. You can find more information here.
All wheels are compatible with skating-specific bearings (22mm outer diameter x 7mm depth). For roller derby and inline skating, the 608 (8mm) type is often preferred, while for all other disciplines, the 627 (7mm) type is used. Depending on your level, there are higher-performance bearings you can choose from. You can find more information on this page.
Spacers (available as an accessory with code STDI92) are strongly recommended for many reasons: they help to position the bearings in a parallel position; they improve the performance of the bearings by increasing their sliding; the axles are reinforced reducing the risk of bending or breaking.
Yes, the wheels can be washed! The important thing is to first remove the bearings. Then, wipe them with a cloth to remove any surface dust. Remove any rhinestones. Pour warm water and a little neutral soap into a container and wash with a sponge, taking care not to use the abrasive part. Avoid using aggressive substances such as alcohol, gasoline, trichloroethylene, etc., which can damage the surface of the wheels. Dry with a smooth, lint-free cloth.
Each brake color corresponds to a different level of abrasion, grip, and elasticity. This comparison table summarizes all the brake characteristics.
It is important to specify that the choice of the toestop should not depend on its color. The color is the way to distinguish the toestop due to its technical characteristics. The choice is therefore dictated by the level. A more performing toestop, such as the Ambra for example, helps in the execution of jumps. Sometimes, at the same level, the weight of the skater can influence the choice (a softer toestop, such as the Cappuccino, may be preferred by light athletes). Finally, the type of floor must also be considered (particularly rough surfaces such as the external ones may require a harder toestop such as the Gray or White ones).
It depends on your playing habits: in the round toestop, the rounded shape helps the quick change of direction while the surface holes help quick restarts. The Hockey toestop has a wider support surface which is designed to maximize braking power and at the same time to obtain maximum thrust during fast restarts.
The brake must be replaced promptly to ensure optimal performance of the equipment. This sheet indicates the maximum brake wear. Excessive brake wear can cause metal parts to come off, which can be dangerous and damage delicate surfaces (e.g., wood, parquet). TIP: It's best not to replace the brakes close to a race (less than a week). Changing the brakes changes the equipment's behavior, which requires adequate time to adapt. For more information on how to change the brakes, you can watch the video tutorial.
The recommended ground clearance is about a finger's breadth or less. To avoid unwanted damage, be sure not to unscrew the toe cap stem below the locking screw. It's important to: check that the brake locking screw is properly tightened, ensuring the brake doesn't rotate; check the brake screw and brake stem for grease to ensure proper tightening; and avoid overtightening the brake screw to avoid stripping or breaking it. More information is available in this section. For more information on how to replace your brakes, you can watch the video tutorial.
Don't worry, it can happen sometimes. However, we recommend not overtightening the screw to avoid damaging it. Once the brake stops turning, it's not necessary to tighten it further. Contact your trusted dealer where you made the purchase or one of our official dealers.
It is important to specify that the choice of cushions should not depend on their color. In fact, color is the way to distinguish cushions for their hardness. Almost every plate, due to its technical characteristics, has its own cushions set, so make sure you follow this criterion first. The factors that determine the choice of cushions are mainly the weight of the athlete and the pressure that is applied on the skate. This guide will give you more information.
To ensure your suspension stays responsive and performing, you should replace it every six months. Tip: It's best not to replace your suspension too close to a race (less than a week). Changing the suspension changes the bike's behavior, which requires ample time to adapt. For more information on how to replace your suspension, watch the video tutorial.
Yes, replacing the suspension is a relatively simple operation that can be done easily at home. For more information on how to replace the suspension, watch the video tutorial.
Roll-Line® has a standard suspension matching system based on frame size (you can find more information in the technical data sheet for each frame). Since every athlete has different needs, many of our official dealers offer a personalized service if needed. Follow your coach's advice or rely on your own experience, and let us know if you need a specific color at the time of purchase.
Remember that the athlete's weight, as shown in the tables, is only one of two parameters to consider. You should also always consider how hard you press during the exercises. Your coach can help you determine if you need a softer or harder suspension. Another possibility is that the suspension color is correct, but the steering needs to be adjusted with the adjustment mechanism. This video tutorial can provide more information.
Combining different suspension colors is possible but recommended only if the standard combinations don't provide an ideal match. Generally speaking, the rear suspension usually has a firmer setting to facilitate centering the spin, while the front suspension needs to be softer for greater agility. If the click-and-go adjustment isn't enough to help you find the balance between stability and agility, you could try installing softer suspension at the front than at the rear. However, it's advisable to start gradually, replacing only one of the two rubber pads, keeping in mind that the upper suspension should generally be softer than the lower one, not vice versa.
It's very important to respect the limits when adjusting the suspension. If you see that the cross member is very loose and the adjustment nut is very close to the safety screw, it means you need a softer suspension. If, on the other hand, you see that the nut is very tight and the steering column is partially exposed, it means you need a firmer suspension. This image shows you exactly what the steering should look like.
Skating bearings have standard outer diameter and depth dimensions for complete compatibility with wheels and frames. Bearings can be open, semi-sealed, or sealed and typically have 7 balls (the Speed Max is the only one with 8). The ABEC rating is a good indicator of smoothness; the higher the number, the better the bearing's performance. In some cases (such as roller derby and inline skating), bearings have a larger inner bore due to the 8 mm axle diameter (Artistic and hockey generally use 7 mm axles).
Roll-Line® has designed its bearings based on various levels or disciplines. In the bearings section of the menu, you'll find all the information you need.
With heavy use (frequent training and competition), the bearings should be replaced periodically (every 6 months) to ensure optimal performance. Regular cleaning and lubrication contribute to longer product life and maintenance.
Yes, Roll-Line® has created specific products for cleaning and lubricating bearings. However, it's important to avoid aggressive substances such as alcohol, gasoline, trichloroethylene, etc., and avoid drying the bearings with a strong jet of air (compressor) to avoid overheating the internal cage.

Remember to periodically replace the wheel nuts. The self-locking Teflon ring works for a limited number of screwing / unscrewing cycles so we recommend that you replace them at least once every season.
Like all other skate parts, the crosspieces (especially) should be checked for bent axles and loose or damaged toe caps. We recommend visiting one of our official dealers at least once a season to have all skate parts checked.

When a wheel shows a squared corner, it is not due to the quality of the wheels but to other reasons. You are most likely using a wheel that is not suitable for the surface where you are skating; ask your coach or your teammates for advice to find out which wheel is used the most where you train. Another possibility is that the floor has irregular areas such as a misaligned tile.
You're probably using a suspension that's too soft or you've overtightened the steering adjuster nut. This type of problem occurs mostly at the left rear and right front cross-members, which are the ones most stressed by taking off and landing from jumps, and it particularly affects the lower rubber. You could try replacing the broken rubber with a harder one, keeping in mind that (if you decide to use two different colors) the upper one should usually be softer than the lower one, not vice versa. This photo shows you the detail better.
This typically occurs when the cushion is either too soft and / or has been tightened too much. This leads to an incorrect steering adjustment which compresses the lower cushion excessively, altering the position of the steering lock nut. In this way, during the landing of the jumps (and especially during the falls!) the nut collides with the inner edge of the truck, causing the scratches. In this case, using a harder lower cushion solves the problem in most cases.
Roll-Line® is constantly researching increasingly durable materials, but it's important to remember that the crosspieces are also a consumable part of the skate, subject to significant wear. If you're a high-level athlete who trains for complex jumps (and sometimes falls), remember to periodically check the crosspieces for bent axles or loose or damaged toe caps. Contact your trusted retailer where you made your purchase. Roll-Line® is in constant contact with its official retailers. We'll resolve your issue very quickly.
Don't worry, this is a fairly common occurrence due to the stresses created during exercise. Simply use the wrenches provided with the frames to tighten the ferrule as shown in the photo. However, it's good practice to check (and tighten if necessary) the ferrule periodically to prevent prolonged use of a loose ferrule from causing more serious damage.
The pivot cup is that rigid plastic bush on which the truck tip rests and ensures that it does not directly touch the plate. When it deteriorates it is due to the pivot pin not being adjusted correctly. In fact, this must press on its cup with a slight pressure. If you notice that your pivot cup has cracks or missing parts, please contact your local retailer where you made your purchase.
Roll-Line® responds very quickly to inquiries sent to info@roll-line.com, but to purchase or replace spare parts you must always contact one of our official dealers.
The Linea plate is the only one that offers the option to adjust the rocker curvature. The choice of this adjustment is personal, but in general: positions 1 and 5 have a 9" rocker, positions 2 and 4 have an 8" rocker, and position 3 has a 7" rocker. The difference between positions 1/5 and 2/4 lies in the more or less forward position of the central wheel. For more information, you can consult this data sheet.
The Power Wedge is a small plastic triangle that can be used when the Linea is mounted with an ice boot. These in fact have a slightly curved tip and the Power Wedge is used to fill the space between the plate and the sole without modifying the boot and thus ensuring an excellent pressure transmission. The Power Wedge must not be used if the Linea is mounted on specific “Planar” boots for wheels.
The wheel diameter depends on the size of the Linea. Specifically, sizes 7 1/4 and 8 use a 64 diameter, sizes 8 1/2 and 9 a 68 diameter, size 9 1/4 a 72 diameter, and sizes 9 3/4 and up a 76 diameter. It is not possible to use wheels larger than those indicated, while it is technically possible to use smaller wheels, but this would partially compromise speed.
The bumpers are applied to the rear pin to protect the frame and floor from scratches and impacts. This video tutorial provides all the instructions on how to apply them.
The Inline skate has components that must be used. Be sure to always install spacers between the bearings (even when changing wheels, check that they are included with the new ones) and periodically check the condition of the corrugated washers. These small washers ensure the nut and pins that hold the wheels in place are properly tightened, so it's essential that they are always in good condition. With use, they can become flat, so if you notice any wobbling in the wheels, this could be the cause. Remember to check them often and, above all, if you accidentally lose one, remember to replace it as soon as possible!
Remember to check the condition of the bearings, the waved washers and check the presence of the spacers. If all of the components mentioned are correctly fixed then it could mean that you have tightened the rear axle too much, try unscrewing it a quarter of turn or less. Remember that the speed with which the "empty" wheels run is relative, when you skate on them, your weight will make them slide anyway!
