Real Value: BONES may not be the lowest-priced wheel, but our abrasion test chart shows why Bones is the best value. Bones wheels popularity is largely a result of superior quality, performance and durability. Up until now though, a wheel's reputation has been a combination of market hype, market muscle, skater support and word of mouth. In fact, very large differences exist between the raw materials, manufacturing process, quality control and performance of different wheel brands. A wheel is a wheel is a wheel, they might often say. Product Performance: Many skaters assume the performance and quality of skate wheels are all the same. Thus, Shore D Scale should not be used for wheels in the useful skate wheel range.

It has a very stiff spring behind its sharp conical needle and often punctures the skin of the wheel being measured, this resulting in 5-10 points softer reading than is correct.

It is very similar to the A Scale, but reads 20 points lower, allowing the useful scale to be extended by 20 points, which covers the entire hardness range of skate wheels in one scale.Shore Durometer B Scale is perfect for skate wheels because: Shore Durometer A Scale is good, but it does not cover the entire range of skate wheel hardness and is very limited because the scale goes from 1 to 100 and anything over A 95A does not compute accurately.
