Axles for Speed Skates

Speed Skate Axles: Essential for Keeping Your Setup Intact

Inline speed skate axles are the crucial, yet small components used to secure the wheels to the frame of the speed skates. Similar to axles used for other skate varieties, these come in two sizes: 6 mm and 8 mm.

Even with proper maintenance, axles will eventually deteriorate and require replacement. Thankfully, those for speed skates are not costly, and fitting your new set doesn’t demand expert tool skills.

Bear in mind that while keeping your axles in good shape is necessary, it’s equally vital to ensure your bearings are well maintained. Despite diligent care, a time will come when they too need replacement. Be sure to explore our Speed Skate Bearings section where you can choose individual bearings or obtain an entirely new set.
