I used to rollerblade everyday when I was a kid, and I decided to pick it up again as a fun way to get cardio. I've just been looking around ebay, and I really don't want to choose a pair until I get all the stats and specifics right.
I know there's either aggressive, recreational, and race.. And I somewhat know about the wheel diameters and hardness. Any help on helping me pick exact numbers for my needs would be great.
Basically all I want to do is rollerblade the bike paths around my city and go fairly fast. My last pair of 'blades were huge and entirely plastic, and the wheels were so hard that they made annoying sounds whenever they hit the pavement. Now I want the opposite! What hardness/softness should I get so they are very quiet with a soft ride? I see that 74A is soft and 100A is hard. Can anybody help me out with the number? I'd really hate to get a pair and have them pounding the pavement louder than my ipod
Also wheel diameter. 76mm seems to be average. It's not like I want the speed to be EASY, but I want to be able to glide pretty good. Also if anybody has any tips for good/bad brands, that would be great!
Thanks
