Swap Luggage for Roller Skates for Extra Durability
You probably don’t pay attention to the wheels of your rolling luggage, but they are probably the first thing that breaks down from the wear and tear of constant travel. Whether you have new or old luggage on wheels, you can make your luggage life a little easier by simply switching to wheels that can handle the load.
I learned this advice from the flight attendants who happened to be in the same store when I bought my new bag. They told me they would switch to built-in wheels (skateboard wheels may work depending on your luggage) to instantly increase the durability of the bag. The reason is that the manufacturer’s wheels do not suck well, break easily or constantly get caught in small crevices, stones, debris and low curbs. Meanwhile, the inline wheels are designed to roll smoothly through the streets.
You can find these wheels on Amazon and some video tutorials on how to change wheelshere andhere . Make sure you are the correct size by measuring the manufacturer’s wheel diameter and comparing replacement specifications. Unfortunately, this advice is not useful for people with spinning wheels.
