Hola Martin,


I'm looking for something like rollerblade wheels

http://www.skates.com/PhotoDetails.asp?ShowDESC=N&ProductCode=ABEC3DOUBLE

But the minimum diameter is 55mm, and I think I need about 30mm dia,
with the urethane covering, with good bearings
Been through the farnell and RS components site,nothing obvious

any suggestions?


Those vendors are more geared towards electronics. Look for the European equivalent of McMaster or Grainger or ask local mechanical engineers where they buy specialty stuff. Also, if you don't need the thickness check spare wheels for "Inline Skates". IIRC these are much smaller. I have even seem them really small for shoes where you'd step on a side and, click, your sneakers turn into skates.

that kind of things:

For inline skating, the usual size is 76mm going toward 80mm as a standard. For ramp skating, the size is about 55mm as smaller means more flexibily when doing tricks.
But anything smaller does not really makes sense for the general public.
