WHAT SIZE SKATEBOARD WHEELS DO YOU NEED?

wheels
现如今滑板发展迅猛,滑板硬件品牌也越来越多,而产品更是五花八门,光看一个轮子,选择就有上百种,轮子的硬度,大小种类繁多,看得真是眼花缭乱,不过你究竟需要什么样的滑板轮子呢,今天就带你普及一下关于滑板轮子选择的一些相关知识
If you’re building a skateboard for the first time or as a gift, it can be daunting. But if you’re up to the wheels that means you have already chosen a deck and trucks. Those items will help determine what size skateboard wheels work with your skateboard.

滑板轮子在颜色,大小,硬度上各种各样,现在的滑板轮大多是由石油化工产品聚氨脂(氨基甲酸乙脂,Polyurethane)所制成,拥有弹性好可着色等特点。而在滑板刚诞生时,滑板轮还采用过橡胶、UHWMPE塑料、粘土甚至金属等材料制作,你能想象得到吗?
Skateboard wheels vary in color, size and durability. Skateboard wheels are most commonly made of polyurethane. The diameter (width) and durometer (hardness) of the wheel affect the way the board rides. The diameter and durometer are a matter of personal preference and skating style.

这就是50年代早期的滑板,看得很清楚它的轮子竟然是用铁制成的!

滑板轮的发展史可以从这张图里了解下,从1955年的铁轮子到1963年的陶土轮子,过了10年也就是1973年,终于出现了现在我们见到的聚氨酯轮子,之后的轮子大多都采用聚氨酯材料制作,而之后的发展方向就是Ramp和U池,1985年出现了专门为Ramp准备的轮子,1988年出现了为大U准备的轮子,知道1989年才可以说滑板街式轮子正式诞生,也就是现在我们广泛使用的滑板轮

现在轮子品牌繁多,而我们大家在选轮子的时候不仅仅只是依靠品牌,更多的是考虑轮子的参数,比如,轮子的大小和硬度就是两个非常重要的参数

大小,自然不用多说,就是轮子的直径,一般用毫米来计算,数字越小,轮子越小,轮子越小,滑得也就越费劲越慢,国内常见的尺寸有50mm-60mm

50mm-53mm 这种轮子比较小,对于追求稳定动作的人来说还是比较适合的,可以玩街式,也可以玩滑板场和碗池

54mm-59mm 这种轮子是比较普通的尺寸,街式,板场,碗池,U池都可以

60mm 这种呢就是像刷街板轮子的方向迈进了,一些很复古old school的板像小鱼板,单翘板,或是你用来冲山之类的,只要你想要速度,就选他不会错

Diameter – All Skateboard wheels are measured in millimeters (mm). The smaller the number, the smaller the wheel. Smaller wheels are slower; bigger wheels are faster.

50-53mm - Small slower wheels, stable for trick riding and smaller riders skating street, skate parks and bowls.

54-59mm – Average wheel size for beginners and bigger riders skating street, skate parks, bowls and vert ramps.

60mm+ – Specialty riders skating longboards, old-school boards, downhill and dirt boards; made for speed and rougher surfaces.

大小先介绍到这里,现在来说硬度吧,一般情况下滑板轮的硬度用A来表示,数值在1-100之间,有些公司会使用B为单位,这只是一种度量标准的不一样,一般说来80b相当于100a的硬度,硬轮对地面要求高,一个小石子足以让你人仰马翻,而且滑起来噪音大,适合街式动作,而软轮对路面通吃,滑起来噪音小,很多摄影师就用软轮跟进拍摄滑手的动作,刷街板也用的软轮。通常普通轮子的硬度为99a,下面分开给大家介绍下

78a-87a:这种软轮子适合粗糙的路面,适用于长板刷街板等需要摩擦力的场合,它可以轻易碾过小石子裂缝,专门为刷街设计的轮子

88a-95a:这种轮子比上面一种要硬点儿,不过摩擦力还是很强,适用于粗糙的路面

96a-99a:这轮子摩擦力小,滑起来快,适合街式,板场,街头,碗池,道具等光华的路面条件,对初学的人来说是比较适合的

101a+:这叫老职轮,也就是说,你没有基础还是对它说再见吧,它的速度最快,摩擦力最小,如果你用它碰到不光滑的路面就完蛋了,但是这个轮子做起Powerslide真的是非常爽的!
What durometer skateboard wheels do I need?
Durometer measures the wheel’s hardness. Harder wheels are faster; softer wheels are slower but have better grip.

Skateboard wheel durometer is usually measured on a Durometer A Scale which goes from 1-100 to measure hardness. Some companies use the B Scale which measures 20 points lower, allowing the scale to be extended by 20 points for harder wheels. So an 80b durometer is the same as 100a durometer. These skateboard wheels have a larger and more accurate range of hardness. The average wheel durometer is 99a.

78a-87a - Soft wheel good for rough surfaces, longboards or street boards that need lots of grip and easier to roll over cracks and pebbles. Designed for a smooth ride cruising, longboards, hills and rough surfaces.

88a-95a – Slightly harder and faster with a little less grip, but the grip’s still good. Street; rough surfaces.

96a-99a - Good speed and grip – an all-around wheel. Great for beginners skating street, skate parks, ramps and pools. Smooth surfaces.

101a+ - Hardest and fastest wheel with the least grip. Ineffective on slick and rough surfaces. These are pro wheels.

已经PowerSlide玩报废了的轮子

还有一点在选择轮子时要注意的就是轮子侧面的形状,一般分为3种,分别为矩形侧边,斜角侧边,弧型侧边,轮子形状跟你所需要的摩擦力是直接相关的
矩形侧边(Square edge)的轮子不容易打滑,因为它可以提供很好的摩擦力,适合一切场地。。。
斜角侧边(Bevelled edge)的轮子边缘形状介于矩形侧边和弧行侧边之间,抓地力也同样位于两者之间
弧型侧边(Radiussed edge)的轮子适合Powerslide,因为它抓地力差,容易打滑。。。

OK,关于轮子的介绍就给大家看到这里了,希望大家在选轮子的时候可以根据自己的需要,去挑选适合自己的轮子,Peace
