ABSTRACT:
A skate wheel includes a reusable hub and a replaceable tire. The hub consists of (i) a rim with an integral clamp ring, (ii) an attachable clamp ring that attaches to the rim after a tire is mounted on the rim and (iii) a threaded ring which fastens onto the rim and secures the attachable clamp ring to the rim. Each of the clamp rings includes an inwardly pointing arm. These arms extend into annular grooves on the sides of the tire, to grip the tire and hold it in place on the rim. In a preferred embodiment the outer ring screws onto the rim and in position against the clamp ring, to retain the claim ring on the rim. To replace a worn tire, a user unscrews the outer ring, removes the attachable clamp ring and then removes the old tire from the rim. He then slides a new tire onto the rim, holds the tire in place with the attachable clamp ring and secures that ring in place with the outer ring.
