Are these ski wheels equipped with a braking system?
It's a real innovation!
The fear of not being able to brake being the major fear raised by those wishing to start wheel-skiing, we have developed this retarder system to reassure you.
It will be much easier to use than the "snowplough" or "slot" technique.
Before getting started, we advise you to begin on a flat, traffic-free terrain: an empty parking lot or a little-used cycle track, so that you can learn and practise.
Can the brake be used by left-handers?
Absolutely!
On the chest strap, you have 2 holes: 1 hole on the right for right-handers, and one on the left for left-handers.
To dismantle and reassemble your brake cord, we recommend you watch the video provided below on the SUPPORT website.
Can I add a second brake?
We recommend using only one brake for better balance. If you mount 1 brake on each side, using both hands will not give you optimal balance.
Can I use my brake downhill?
Yes, as long as the gradient is reasonable.
To use the brake correctly, we recommend that you start braking FROM THE BEGINNING of the descent, to ensure gradual braking (when riding downhill, braking suddenly can cause you to fall...).
We also recommend that you DO NOT MOVE, maintaining a lunge position with your foot forward without the brake, to balance yourself on the descent.
Can I use the brake on another pair of ski wheels?
This brake is only compatible with SKATING ski wheels from INOVIK. It is not compatible with our classic ski wheels.
Are ski wheels compatible with my cross-country ski boots?
Our ski wheels are sold with Rottefella bindings, compatible with standard cross-country ski boots: NNN (Rottefella), PROLINK (Salomon and Atomic) and TURNAMIC ( Fischer and Rossignol).
Please note that our ski wheels are not compatible with SNS standard boots.
How do I maintain my ski wheels?
To avoid asymmetrical wear, we recommend that you regularly swap left and right skis.
For your safety, remember to check and replace worn wheels.
Why do you need the right equipment for wheel skiing?
Ski touring is a potentially risky activity, especially if you don't have the proper equipment and technical training.
To avoid injuries and accidents, protective gear is essential for ski touring. We recommend that you wear a helmet and gloves to protect your head and hands in the event of falls on asphalt surfaces.
Wear colorful clothing or a fluorescent vest so that you are clearly visible to other riders.
Can I move the bindings to fit my size?
Our wheeled skis are equipped with a pre-drilled aluminum beam to enable you to move the binding according to your shoe size.
ATTENTION, use only a PZ3 screwdriver
In order to carry out this operation, we advise you to make an appointment in our workshop.
