The 894 Performer Frame Set has a satin finished rocker aluminum frame that will withstand the rigors of a demanding skater. The set is equipped with 4 Axel 6.0 urethane core wheels, ABEC-5 bearings and a P-9 pic ball. Although you can perform practically any maneuver with it, it is more appropriate for beginning skaters or those working on spins and footwork. (Set includes two frames, Axel 6.0 wheels, bearings, mounting kit, and instructions).
The four wheel set is recommended for frame sizes 9.75" and larger.
We can mount your frames and wheels for you (the sole often requires modifications so it will contour to the frame). If you are purchasing a boot from us, or sending us your boots for us to mount, we can select the appropriate frame size for you - contact us to discuss further; otherwise -
How to select your frame size:
- Measure the sole of the boot from heel to toe using a cloth tape
- Subtract 1/4" and order that or the next smaller size frame
Example 1: Boot measures 10-1/4" toe to heel (10-1/4" - 1/4" = 10" - order 9.75" frame)
Example 2: Boot measures 9-1/8" toe to heel (9-1/8" - 1/4" = 8-7/8" - order 8.75" frame)
Example 3: Boot measures 8-1/2" toe to heel (8-1/2" - 1/4" = 8-1/4" - order 8-1/4" frame)
If self-mounting to an Edea boot, then we HIGHLY RECOMMEND purchasing Edea Power Wedges. These fit between the frame and the boot to hold the boot in a natural position without deforming the boot.
Finally, we would recommend purchasing two replacement P-9 Ball Pics as these are generally the first things that wear out.
