Welcome to our Inline Skate Maintenance Site

"Lessons to help the inline skater keep his or her skates in top, rolling condition."

Our inline skate maintenance lessons are unique for these reasons:



Inline Skater

1. Stepped Instructions

All procedures are written in clear and concise English in a step-wise manner, with feedback where necessary, for ease of use.


2. Ample Illustrations

In addition, all of our inline skate maintenance lessons are well illustrated. The photos and drawings serve to clarify the written instructions.


3. Solid Foundation from the Start

The student is free to advance at his or her own pace, but it's recommended that he or she only moves on after mastering the procedures in the first lesson, which often means doing some basic skate maintenance. In this way, the student gets accustomed to the various parts of his or her skates right from the start in lesson #1.

4. Progression for Ease of Learning

Our lessons are designed to teach the new owner all about his or her skates in stages. To reach this goal, the lessons are set up as a progression so the beginner gets comfortable with the basic procedures in lesson #1 before moving on to the more advanced material in lesson #2.


5. Complete Curriculum

In addition, our inline skate maintenance lessons teach you everything you need to know to keep your skates in top, rolling condition. There is no need to go anywhere else for your maintenance needs. This two-part series provides complete coverage of all the required inspection, adjustment, cleaning, lubrication, and replacement operations.



Lesson #1: Basic Inline Skate Maintenance

Welcome to the first lesson of our Skate Maintenance series. The two-part series is geared to helping the inline skater maintain his or her skates on a weekly, monthly, and yearly basis. In this lesson, you learn what to inspect each time out, as well as what to check, clean, lubricate, and rotate each month.


Assembling the tools
  • First, we look at wheel checks, brake tightening, and fastener inspection before you roll.


  • Next, we deal with the circumstance of what to do after a day of skating in wet conditions.


  • Finally, we tackle monthly tasks including skate cleaning, brake inspection, and wheel rotations.

The maintenance procedures get you quickly up to speed with the various parts of an inline skate. You start from the shell, frame, and brake on top and work your way down to the wheels, axles, and bearings. The knowledge you gain from this lesson prepares you for Lesson #2.




Lesson #2: Advanced Inline Skate Maintenance

Lubricating a bearing

Welcome to the second lesson in our two-part series about inline skate maintenance. The series is geared to helping the inline skater maintain his or her skates on a weekly, monthly, and yearly basis. At least once a year, preferably at the start of the skating season, you need to do a complete tune-up of your skates.

In this lesson, you'll find out how to do an annual inspection and/or replacement of brakes, wheels, and bearings. Here, we delve deeper into wheels and bearings from a replacement perspective including when to replace and with what parts. We then take it to the limit in terms of cleaning and lubrication of bearings.


The following topics are covered in Lesson #2:

  • Bearing Inspection, Cleaning, Lubrication, and Replacement


  • Wheel Inspection and Replacement


  • Brake Inspection and Replacement



Maintenance Module

The Inline Skating Center recently put both lessons together into a comprehensive maintenance manual called the Maintenance Module. After you get the module, you can go from the basic instructions, which are applicable to the new owner, right into the advanced wheel, bearing, and brake procedures, all in one season and from the same module.

There is no need to search for and then buy another lesson. This module contains all the instructions you'll ever need to maintain your skates from week-to-week and month-to-month, as well as from year-to-year with the annual tune-up. This is the complete maintenance manual!


How to Order a Module

The table below lists modules that are now available for purchase. The maintenance module sells for only $24.95 USD, which is a savings of $4.95 off the price if you were to buy both lessons individually! In addition, the module comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
