Comments:I bought 80mm and 72mm wheels as replacements front and back for CCM PF10 skates. I've had all the wheels fail very prematurely. For each, the hub cracked around the bearing. In the case of one of the front wheels, it took only three games (one of those as a referee) for the cracks to start. I weigh only 140 pounds, so I'm not putting extreme forces on the wheel. I'd like to think these wheels were from a bad batch, but I've read on this website (in one of the Message Board threads) that at least one other person had the same problem. The Genesis wheels grip well, but I can't recommend them.
