are there any advantages/ disadvantages to removing those roller skates from the brembo brakes? trying to get my tires sold and would help when I talk to people if I knew what was involved in taking them off or if there would be any problems with doing it. thanks.

Disadvantage(s) are that your brakes might squeal a bit more. And that without the roller skates it's possible to fit the heritage wheels on an SS

I haven't noticed anything. And mine have been off for about a year.

any tips on cutting them off? grinder and cutoff wheel?

I used a grinder with a cutting wheel. There not very hard steel.

Might be easier to buy a set of Hawk Pads. And BTW, those "Roller Skates" are there for a reason.
