I recently found my old pair of original Lightning TRS rollerblades, and I'd like to fix them up and start using them. I need some new wheels though, so I'd like to find out what the largest fitness wheels are that I can fit on them. Anybody know?
Thanks in advance.

I got a response from Rollerblade, I figured I'd share the knowledge with y'all
The frames on the Lightning TRS were modified in 1996 to accomodate a larger wheel, so for you, the easiest way to determine what you can fit, is by the size of the original wheels. If your TRS has 70mm, than the largest you can install are 72mm. If your TRS has 72mm wheels, that frame can accept up to 76mm wheels.
Thank you,

Glad you got a response. I was going to say 76mm for the older skates. 72mm means they are older than what I was thinking even.
Fortunately, they started providing max wheel size right on the frames for newer skates to make it easier on all of us.
Great post. Thanks!
