In brief

The Stelior 9.97 mm skate spacer is a spacer fitted on an 8 mm axle between two 608 bearings, meant for wheels with a narrower core. It is 0.03 mm shorter than the 10.0 mm spacer and works where the 10.0 mm one leaves play. A pair of four-wheel skates needs 8 pieces, three-wheel skates 6. It also fits roller skates, scooters and skateboards.

Who it’s for

You have wheels with a narrower core and on 10.0 mm spacers you feel side play or hear clicking.
You choose spacers for a particular set of wheels and need a length below 10.0 mm.
You are assembling wheels for skates, roller skates, a scooter or a skateboard on 608 bearings and an 8 mm axle.

When to choose something else

On this spacer the wheel turns stiffly once the axle is tightened — it is too short for your core, take the 10.0 mm spacer or the 10.05 mm one.

Key features

9.97 mm length: 0.03 mm shorter than 10.0 mm — that is enough for the bearings to seat in their housings without play in a wheel with a narrower core.
For 8 mm axles and 608 bearings: Fits most skates, and the same bearing standard lets you use it in roller skates, scooters and skateboards.
Constant gap between the bearings: After the axle is tightened, the spacer takes the pressure instead of the bearings, so the wheel turns more lightly and for longer, without locking.
Chosen after measuring your wheels: In our wheel-measuring service we match the spacer length to the cores of your set, because each core may have a different dimension.

Care and servicing

Whenever you change wheels, check the choice again — the cores of different wheels differ in size, so the same spacer may turn out too short or too long.

Questions and answers

When should I choose a 9.97 mm spacer instead of 10.0 mm?

When the wheel has a narrower core and a 10.0 mm spacer is too long for it: after the axle is tightened there is play or clicking. A spacer 0.03 mm shorter lets the bearings seat in their housings.

Will the 9.97 mm spacer fit my skates?

Yes, if your skates have 8 mm axles and 608 bearings — that is most models. You can also fit it in roller skates, scooters and skateboards with such bearings.

How many spacers do I need?

8 pieces for a pair of four-wheel skates, one per wheel. For three-wheel skates you need 6.

How can I tell that 9.97 mm is too little?

By a wheel that turns stiffly after the axle is tightened despite clean, lubricated bearings. Then the spacer is too short and squeezes the bearings — you need a longer one.

How do I choose the length without guessing?

Most reliably by measuring the cores. As part of the wheel-measuring service we match spacers to your particular set, because each core may have different dimensions.
