MICROSPORT In-Line Skate Speedometer
Just replace one wheel and off you go!
The In-Line skate Speedometer generally consists of two components. One measuring
wheel and a wristwatch display. The heart of the system is the skate computer
which is integrated in the special MICROSPORT speedometer wheel. The computer
continuously analyses your skating style. This means the computer recognizes
whether the skate is in the air or on the ground and whether you use the skating
technique or roll down a hill. This information is necessary to determine the
speed and the distance of the body of the skater in the direction of move. in
difference to cycling, where the wheel has ground contact all the time and you
can calculate the distance covered simply by multiplying the number of turns
with the wheels perimeter, the situation in inline skating is far more complex.
The MICROSPORT In-Line Skate Speedometers have solved the above problem. The
accuracy and the handling were approved by the biggest German consumer research
centre in spring 2003.
Due to the coded transmission all date can be recalled easily by the touch
of a button on your wrist watch display. An expandable bracelet allows you to
wear your speedometer over the recommended protectors.
A universal set of Spacers allows you to use the Speedometer with all common
skates on the market.
MICROSPORT In-Line Skate Speedometers are available in 6 different sizes
and wheel hardness:

When the original wheel is worn out you simply replace it by the MICORSPORT
replacement wheel in the correct size - expensive electronic components can
be used over and over again.
Besides the replacement wheels MICROSPORT offers additional spare parts. The
battery service kit for easiest changing of the batteries and a Microbearing
Adapter Set which allows you to run your Speedometer with the modern, lightweight
688 bearings.
