The bearings are going in my casters and the casters themselves have seen better days so I am just going to buy some new ones. I was considering soft roll casters but have never tried them before. Are they worth it? Does it make that much difference?
Any opinions welcome!

I Switched to them recently and found they are great at smoothing out the smaller bumps you find in pavements etc. I would definitely go for them again in the future.
Best wishes.

if you roll on any hard surface that has any type of bumps (street, sidewalk...etc) they are well worth and and a huge improvement. If you roll off road, across crass, dirt..etc or on hard smooth surfaces then you won't notice.

Hi Trin,

All I can say is go for them, I recently broke a caster wheel & replaced them with some frog legs soft roll caster wheels (only because that was all I could get quickly at the time) & they made a noticeable difference
I wouldn’t replace for anything else now.
