Those are the Flipsky 6354
This is one of many reasons I do not like nor recommend bearings with built-in spacers. Like Zealous.
Those are good for exactly one thing, and this is a DIY forum, we like to make new stuff, and those bearings are the āAppleā of the DIY world. You canāt do anything except the one thing they were designed to do from the factory.
Keep in mind there made not made for Esk8, so comparing them to apple might be a little overkill
Boosted Board is more like apple and Bearings with spacers built in are like trying to use a women shoe on a men. For what its made for its great, but for what we use it for its not always going to work.
Are you using them w 70mm axles? Somehow, I canāt get mine to work. It hits the trucks when it spins.
No. 80s on one, 90s on the other. I also have 2-3 bearings in each pulley.
That makes a lot of sense now. I have @marcmt88 mounts. Crossbar is too short for 80mm axles so I opted for 70mm.
You got me thinking now. I will try this again w a different width size bearing on the inner end of the pulley like what it came w but 10mm size hole instead of 8mm.
Thanks!
@Boardnamics, are you going to start any models with holes for crossbars? I want to grab a set of the mounts, but I just canāt feel safe putting two Maytech 170KV 6374ās on something without crossbars and an underside bash mount. I do have access to the equipment to make the needed modifications myself, but I donāt really know if thereās space on the mount to properly do so. (Havenāt looked over a diagram yet)
All the mounts I make now have holes for pulley covers and crossbars. Theyāre 4.3mm in diameter @s5300
Oh really? Did not know this. Im even more excited to get my mounts now.
Cheaper price on quality mounts and a crossbar??? What??? Can I get some machine gun mounts
Nice. A bit of sanding of the rough edges and a spray of flat black and boom.
Aaaand it will eventually get scratchedā¦
Iād love an anodized black version! Let me know when they are available and Iāll buy them!
Glad to hear! Yes the samples looked very nice. And I canāt scratch it off with a knife either as it is a thick layer that is bonded to the aluminum itself.
Getting half the batch anodized on Monday.
Those are really nice looking. Canāt wait to see the surfrodz mounts and wheel pulleys.
am i allowed to ask what chemical your using to anodize? or is that a trade secret? also, im getting hyped for the new mounts with cover holes! i think i might snag a pair when they are out.
I outsourced the anodizing so Iām not entirely sure. I could of done it myself but DIY anodizing only achieves a thin coat that u can rub off easily. Iāll leave it to the pros
Raw version is getting tumbled so the finish on those is also improved.
well thanks for the info. im seriously hyped to get some. not sure why everyone charges 40+ for a mount. yours are far better imo
I am one of few that make it themselves.
When I went to get them tumbled at a machine shop yesterday, I asked how much they would charge to make them, just out of curiosity. He replied with $15-20.
Yo @Boardnamics
Nice stuff you have going on here if I order a set now, the mounts come with holes for a diy crossbar? I think that seals the deal for me
@barajabali Yep. Every model (50mm, 63mm, idler) has the holes. I might be able to offer the corssbars soon too.
