Anyone know where i can get some wheels for my skates in UK. I've found some really cheap ones at Northerntools.com but i'm waiting for them
to get back to me with a price for shipping and i fear this could be an expensive option to fly four wheels all the way across the atlantic when
it's probably just a case of knowing where to look in the UK

Check some of the links on this page (skate section):
http://www.kiteskating.com
or try out the local cycle shops, toy stores (for kids scooters) or garge sales. I found an early set from Toys R Us.

Thanks for the great UK wheel and tire outlets. This question comes up often. I'll add them to the Kiteskating Resources site.
