An assembly for wheels which are mountable on objects, such as in-line skates and wheel chairs, which have a frame for receiving the wheel. The assembly has an axle with an axle shaft having a non-circular configuration, which is non-rotationally mountable to the frame; an inner sleeve, having a non-circular orifice corresponding to the axle shaft non-circular configuration, into which the axle inserts; a uni-rotational member, such as a one-way clutch, into which the inner sleeve inserts, the uni-rotational member being non-rotationally insertable into the wheel; and a retaining member having rotational and thrust capabilities insertable on the inner sleeve inside and the wheel, whereby after the axle is inserted into the inner sleeve, the inner sleeve is inserted into the uni-rotational member, the uni-rotational member is inserted into the wheel, the retaining member is inserted over the inner sleeve into the wheel, and the axle is non-rotationally mounted to the frame, the wheel is capable of rotating in only one direction around the inner sleeve by way of the uni-rotational member contained within the wheel thereby preventing any unwanted movement in the opposite direction.
