Roller Skis at competitive prices

Mark; What a nice selection of rollerskis at the site you referred!
The Speed Skate R100 - medium fast - appear to have exactly the same
rubber wheels that Nordic Skater carries ( same size, same aluminum
hub).
For anyone wanting to slow their skis down, using rubber wheels is the
way to go, though manipulating your bearings with grease is far less
expensive.

Hey Serge, how do you disassemble ABEC bearings to put the grease
inside? ANy special tools? Where do you get the grease?

That wheel, like many others, is made originaly by "Eagle". I use it
and like it in the rain - good grip on wet.
I got it free with my rollerski order from "Eagle" with bearing and
axles.
It is also available from SWAT skates although it is not on the site.

Yes, they do have a very nice selection. And yes, these are the same
rubber wheels from Nordic Skater (I purchased wheels from both). THe
aluminum hub does get some nice stares during our group rollerskis.

These rollerskis are a second pair (my others being Elpex F1s). For
variety, I have the R100s set up with rubber wheels all around, the
F1s have poly wheels on the front and rubber on the rear.

Well, your original question is not clear. Are you talking new or
used? Skate, classic, both or combi? With or w/o bindings? For new
rollerskis and sales on bindings, there are all sorts of xc ski shops.
Gear West, Reliable Racing, Finn Sisu, Ski Rack, tobjornsport.com,
Nordic Skater, Cross Country Ski Shop of Grayling, Berkshire Outfitters,
Enduro Rollerskis, and probably a few others. Watch for early season
sales. For used, try skinnyski.com classifieds, NENSA (equipment), ebay
and here. OTOH, given how long most rollerskis last, biting the bullet
for a new pair and saving by getting the bindings for a little less is
not a bad investment. Most shops can mount them for you for a modest
fee.

Back to my original question, anyone have anymore good sites or contacts
for the purchase of rollerskis for good prices. Thanks to those who
already notified me!

Jeff: Yeah, you can get a lot of what you need from NS. But, that
being said, you can get duplicate axles/cap screws for just about
anything from a good hardware store; frame spacers are easy to make;
that leaves the frame and the wheels. Nordic Skate is the only
supplier I can find for 100mm "rubber" wheels; Skates-away.com sells a
125mm solid rubber wheel that I will probably try this Spring or
summer on the low hole of my Aero 150 frame; it'll be a bumpier ride
for sure. Pete
