anti-rocker
Wheel profile type
Anti-rocker refers to a wheel configuration on inline skates where the middle wheels are smaller than the outer wheels, or removed entirely, creating a gap.
This setup reduces the contact patch with the ground, making it easier to grind on rails, ledges, and other obstacles in aggressive skating: I switched to an anti-rocker setup for street skating.
The term contrasts with flat (all wheels the same size) and rocker (middle wheels larger) configurations.
