Cheap wheels - went totally bald after less than 100 miles of road usage and left me with a flat a mile from where we were stopping for food.
I might… just wanted to make sure nobody else here is selling some. Honestly after the whole VESC6 debacle I’m skeptical of buying from trampa. Might try for some Abec 107s too although that would mean having to get new adapters and pulleys. Either way I intend to show up to another ride ASAP
I hear you bro. 107s are cool but will never be like pneumatics! Just get some mbs tires. They’re cheap and will keep you in the road up until you have whatever other wheels/tires you want!!
@Grozniy thanks for the info but shipping makes that less of a deal than I thought.
Anyways it looks on trampa’s website like it’s 40 pounds each for gummies with hubs?? @trampa is this right? If so I might be splurging on some new gear tonight…
if anyone else wants to chip in about the pricing that’d be appreciated too
Play around with the custom wheel builder and see if there isn’t the model you wan’t already configured, when I bought there was a price diference between them
Well since I’m apparently now getting wheel hubs and Gummies for a decent price, I’m focusing on what color combination I want… leaning towards grey and blue
Wondering if I should be worried about this though? Lots of bubbles
Also me being my dumbass self I ordered the wrong size bearings…
I’ve designed 3d printable spacers to solve the issue, wondering if I should trust pieces of plastic with all of that weight though? I just can’t justify spending another 30-40$ just to get the right bearings. Does anybody know a place where I can find 9.525-28mm bearings for a non-stupid-expensive price?
They are made from hand formulated PU and are hand poured. This is a very special material! Some air bubbles on the inside can’t be avoided. This is the area where the mould prevents the bubbles to flow further up. It’s only on the very surface and once mounted you will not see this anyway. Technically there is no issue. If we would want to strip out this optical issue, we would need to take standard urethane, which doesn’t perform half as good.
