The NEW PANTHER LIGHT 95A 55mm Wheels are the Tight Grip of the ultra Light Weight, hi-end, Professional FreeStyle Wheels available from Roll-Line . The PANTHER LIGHT was introduced at the 2007 World Championships in Australia and became an instant favorite. Roll-Line has reinvented the FreeStyle wheel giving it properties that are normally not achievable in one wheel, Tight Grip and Super Roll. Roll-Line based the design on that of the Low Rider Tire concept. Large Hub and a Smaller, Thinner Tread, and produced one of the LIGHTEST, TIGHTEST, and BEST ROLLING FreeStyle wheels available. The “LIGHT” FreeStyle wheels are very durable and will withstand the extreme abuse a FreeStyle Skater can dish out. Roll-Line has developed the Hub which is incredibly Strong, very Light, and with extremely Close Tolerances for Roundness, Trueness, and for the Cage where the Bearings and Spacers are mounted. The Roll-Line Tread is a Cast Urethane BiCompound Formula, which provides Tight Grip, without the tire compression that is normally associated with a wheel this tight. The lack of tire compression, along with the thinner tread, mounted on the Roll-Line Hub, is what provides the INCREDIBLE ROLL. The PANTHER LIGHT 95A (Normal grip) 55mm Wheels are for skating surfaces with a standard amount of grip. The hub color identifies which hardness the wheel is. White Hub: 95A.
The softer the wheel, or lower Shore “A” hardness number, the more the grip and slightly less roll. The harder the wheel, or higher Shore “A” number, the more the roll, with slightly less grip. There seems to be an offset between the US and Italian Standards.
It is almost always recommended to use spacers in the wheels, when using standard 7mm bearings. Long ago, before the use of Lock Nuts (the nuts that have the Nylon Plastic inserts) to hold the wheels on the axles, Jam Nuts were used, but when the spacer was not as wide as the web of the wheel, or the wheel was not machined accurately, the bearings would lock up, the nut had to be tight, and could not be “backed-off”. This method, of locking the Axle Nut down, did promote proper bearing alignment and did increase the diameter of the axle from 7mm to approximately 14mm, because everything was locked down, which also saved the problems of bent axles. Today we do use Lock Nuts. It is still very advisable to lock everything down (especially for FreeStyle, Jam, and Roller Derby Skaters). Roll-Line does provide Spacers for Roll-Line Wheels with each pair of Frames or they can be purchased separately. Properly locking the Wheels down when using standard bearing types, will also promote longer bearing life.
