Abstract

A pneumatic in-line skating wheel having a tire body and central hub chemically bonded during a polyurethane casting process and further including an annularly encapsulated air bladder centrally spaced within the tire body to provide shock absorption and inflation/deflation means such that the overall tire resiliency may be adjusted, enabling adjustable performance characteristics of the wheel.
