Abstract (en)

In an in-line roller skate, a wheel bearing assembly (136) comprises an axle (240), a bearing spacer (220) axially disposed about the axle, and a pair of wheel bearings (230) axially coupled to and spaced apart by the bearing spacer (220). A magnet carrying sleeve (200) is juxtaposed between the wheel bearings (230) and concentric with the axle (240). At least one magnet (210) is disposed in the body portion (204) of the sleeve (200), and alternatively includes a second magnet disposed in diametric opposition relative to the first magnet. Alternatively, the second "magnet" is a similarly weighted non-magnetic element. <IMAGE>
