Hello guys,
Please write a tutorial about how to keep my skates in good health.
I also want to know the places from where I can buy skates parts like lubricants and bearings(In Delhi)

Thanx in advance

well if you want to keep your skates healthy here is what i recommend

1)Shell: clean off any dust after each skating session
same for frames

2)Wheels:

a)buy a L-key that u can use to unscrew your wheels

b)remove the wheels and clean with a dry cloth

c) use grease oil (like the one used for lubricating cycles) to lube the bearings DON'T REMOVE THE BEARINGS AS THEY COULD GET DAMAGED and dont over lubricate....as they could accumulate dust

d) reattach the wheels and make sure they are tight (you don't want a wheel coming off while your skating)

e) by rotating your wheels (i.e putting the first wheel as last and so on)
you can increase the life of your wheels as the centre wheels get less damages

you can buy lubricants at hardware shops... but if you want bearings specific lube or bearings then importing it is the only option
as the indian market has not advance to that extent

also try to stay off gravel or dirt roads....
don't forget to wear pads and other protection...
ride safe
and skate forever
......
