Wheel Suggestions (not the usual floors!)
I'm about 4 months now into my relearning-to-skate adventure and starting to get curious about switching up wheels. My current skates are the off-the-shelf Chaya Cappuccinos, which run the Chaya Spectrum 78A/62mm wheel. I don't have a particular goal in mind right now with skating beyond general skill building. I love to scissor skate and I'm learning to get more comfortable with transitions, skating backwards, and one-foot skating.
I only skate at my local rink, which is literally a huge old warehouse that's been repurposed. Their floors are concrete with what I'm assuming is an epoxy coating, HOWEVER there are some pretty significant cracks/seams in the floor. They're big enough for me to feel when I'm skating, but not big enough that I'm afraid to skate over them either. It's kind of a strange situation where the upper layer of the floor has a nice smooth finish but the floor itself has some issues hah.
So I'm mostly curious about:
a) Will a smaller wheel like a Radar Energy 57mm help with footwork, or will I just be more likely to wreck on the uneven floors without the extra height to help roll over the cracks?
b) Any general suggestions for hardness levels to look at? I'm kind of thinking maybe something like an 84A, as I suspect anything in the 90s will be expecting a very nice smooth wooden floor that I simply do not have access to. But at the same time, I'm worried that hybrid wheels might still be too hard for this floor.
c) Any specific wheel suggestions?
d) Do I care about "rebound"? Can someone ELI5 what rebound is, or is it just marketing?
