How to Install the Brake on Impala Inline Skates

Here’s how to install the brake on your groovy Impala rollerblades! There’s a lot of brake installation videos out there, but not any specifically for Impala brand skates. To summarize:
1) hold the skate firmly between your legs
2) using both the Allen wrench and skate tool, unscrew the axel/bolt on the rear wheel AT THE SAME TIME. The brake can be installed on the left or right skate. Take the wheel out.
3) align the brake with the frame and pop the wheel back in
4) screw in the longer axel and bolt (included with your rollerblades)
5) make sure everything is tightened and blade away!
Cheers🍻

    I was 100% lost since the manual doesn’t explain those little nudges you explained so well, so thank you SO MUCH for this! By the way, I got the same exact color as yours ♥️

    havent bought it yet but i find it very strange they dont come preinstalled with the brake tbh. is this normal for rollerblades i wonder. i would imagine beginners use brakes, and impala seems like a new trendy company geared towards beginners. also, an experienced skater would know how to easily uninstall the brakes, compared to a lost beginner LOL.

    From what I can tell breaks on inlines isn’t common and is usually only used by beginners and is something people take off as soon as they’re more stable. I don’t think most come with one installed even ones designed for beginners but will include one, I think it’s also a good way for beginners to familiarise themselves with adjusting the skates early on. Some beginners won’t even put the brake on and just learn how to stop without it like majority of inline skaters do

    I actually did figure this out! My neurodivergent brain needs EXACT specific instructions and in case anyone else is in the same boat as me... If you're wondering which skate, the standard is the right but you can do it on either side, whatever is comfortable. As for which direction to turn it, righty tighty applies here. Most importantly, you need to use the LONGER AXLE for the brake. This is not mentioned in the vid bc it's probably obvious to neurotypicals. Someone needs to make a neurodivergent tutorials channel lol.
