Sure-Grip Roller Skate Back Brake Assembly | Fits Most Plates and Trucks | Aluminum Housing with Rubber Stop, U Bolt, Nuts, and Screw - Sold as 1 Unit

You will need to a socket wrench to install this. But once installed, it works great. It is so much easy to use the back stop instead of using the toe stop. I put it on my left shoes since that is my leading foot by default. I find turnaround toe stop method difficult to execute outdoors with large gummy wheels.

Compatible with Impala skates, easy to install, good value.

I tried to attach this brake to three different plates I had. Suregrip rock, crazy skates venus, and powerdyne fuse. The brake attached just fine to the suregrip and craxy but would not sit right on the powerdyne. I believe the issue is based on the shape of the part that the axle rod runs through. If it is rounded like the suregrip or crazy it will fit well. But if the truck/hanger has a smoothed out surface in this area, there isn't anything the brake piece can use as an anchor and it won't stay put when you tighten it.Additionally, the brake hardware relies on the pivot area for most of its leverage. This worried me a little as it might strain the pivot and could potentially break it. I've not heard of this happening but the pivots on my crazy venus plate are much thinner.There are no instructions for assembly but I found that pushing the brake down while using a socket wrench ( size M11) was best. The nuts have nylon inserts and are pretty hard to get in without a socket wrench. A regular skate tool will not fit these nuts. Not even the skateboard ones.The toe stop bolts down with a flathead screwdriver. I may add a nut on the underside to make sure it stays put but it feels secure.Also the skates in pics all have 57mm wheels and are a size 4 in mens. Just to give you an idea of scale.I haven't actually used these yet but wanted to share compatibility information.

I bought this to replace an old one I used for outdoor quad skating downhills so my wheels don’t wear out so quickly.I had to do some tinkering with miscellaneous pieces of metal hardware from the hardware store to make it fit my Reactor Neo plate. The bracket piece that rests on the axle doesn’t fit snug because the axle is smaller than old school skate plates, and the u bolt cannot go on facing the right way with my plates, because there’s no room to tighten the bolt. The bolt sticks out too low after tightening, so I added a bracket to position the u bracket lower, and I added a couple washers to the bottom of the toe stop so the bolts can’t damage an indoor floor. It would fit an old school, figure plate much better.But I did get it to work, and it works great to reduce speeds on long sections of downhill. I also can powerslide, snowplow, and t-stop, and all the other stops but not with my very sticky, grippy outdoor wheels without grinding down flat spots during long skates outdoors.

When I first learned to skate, the ones I used had back brakes built in. I kinda don’t understand why more skates don’t already have back brakes attached. To me, it feels a lot easier to stop with them, and a a lot faster. I worked at Sonic as a skating car-hop and I used this so much. It was pretty worn down when I stopped working there, but I’d say it was still in really good condition for constant use for four-five months. It’s still on my skates and I continue to use it for fun

Came with all the hardware necessary, and was easy to install.

This is for my 8 year old son.I've known this product for years, it does what it's meant to do 100% perfectly.

I use this more then my toes. People think it's cool. Everyone wants one now.
