Before starting your workout:

• Always check that screws and bolts are tight
• Ensure binding is secure
• It’s a good idea to change your skis from left to right, between sessions, so you get uniform wear on the wheels

After the session:

• Wash your roller skis with clean water and wipe with a dry cloth after you have finished
• Store your roller skis at room temperature
• Store your roller skis in a bag when traveling and at the end of the season

The roller ski wheels are fitted with bolts that you can loosen.

Roller ski wheels wear out gradually as you use them. It is mainly the braking that wears the wheels.

To change wheels, loosen the bolt holding the wheel together with the roller ski.
Fit a new wheel and reattach the bolt. Remember to tighten properly – and to preferably re-tighten after a couple of sessions. You can find roller ski wheels on our website here.
