Main types of malfunctions and their elimination

Not always and not all parts of skates can be repaired. Most common failure:

• Grinding rollers, which leads to the distortion of the skate.
• Wearing bearings make movement impossible.

Minor repairs on Roces casters can be done by yourself.

• Unscrew the fasteners of the rollers and remove them from the frame.
• Turn over so that the worn side faces the opposite direction.
• Fix the rollers with fasteners.
• In case the rollers are completely worn off, a new complete replacement kit must be purchased.

Let's go without brakes

The purpose of the brake pad is to stop the movement of the wheels. You can also brake without using the brake, by turning your legs or squatting, as in models for babies, while the wheels wear out a lot. And yet, with sufficient driving skill, many people do without a weighting part. How to remove brake from Roces casters?

It is possible to remove it yourself only if it is not one part with the frame, by unscrewing the fixing fasteners. If there is a short frame in the kit, it is necessary to install it instead of a long one; in the absence of such, an option is possible with cutting off the excesspiece with a cutting tool.
