With the Torrent rain wheels of 100 mm, you can skate in the rain without any problems.
Yes, indeed, you can skate in the rain. Even in heavy rain. But not with the wheels and bearings that are standard on your inlineskates. You need rain wheels and waterproof bearings.
With these Torrent rain wheels 100 mm you can skate in the rain as if it was dry. The grip of these wheels remains mysteriously good.
They have a durometer of 84A, but you should not compare the durometer of rain wheels with the durometer of regular (non-rain) wheels. It is the type of polyurethane used and the construction/baking process that give them their incredible grip on wet roads.
The only thing that some might experience as a drawback, is that they may have a little too much grip on dry roads; you should not think about sliding with these wheels.
You can best combine these Torrent rain wheels with
these waterproof bearings.
The "price per kilometre" of these wheels is very good, because they are more durable than most 100 mm wheels, so they last longer. Even the initial purchase price is quite good. It is barely more expensive than "normal" 100 mm inline skating wheels. And it is fast, it lasts long and you can skate with it in the rain.
