Abstract
An improved fastening system for the axles of wheels of in-line roller skates is disclosed. This tri-axle system includes a multi-position spacer which is mounted in a spacer aperture in the skate chassis, which spacer has an axle aperture to receive the wheel axle. Both the spacer and the spacer aperture are generally triangular in shape. The axle aperture is offset from the geometric center of the spacer so as the spacer is rotated in the spacer aperture both the vertical and horizontal position of the axle may be altered with respect to the chassis. This allows a user to adjust both the wheelbase of the skate and the rocker easily and quickly.
