Anybody here got their hands on some samples? They seem to not bother writing back. I tried again, this time offered to order 600 pieces in case the quality is good.

Is this the actual part? I have super stars, sixshooters, and evolve hubs. The super stars are for a trampa build I’ll never finish, the Evolve’s are on permanent loan to a broke buddy.

The 6shooters see aggressive riding in mid 30s daily, still solid. I know for a fact the Evolve’s hubs were starting to deform under same stress, but still ok. The trampas are good, but I hate the pulley set up.

I can’t imagine the plastic spokes are ok, are they? I’m open to science.

Sorry, I am very busy recently, so I have no time to test the quality of the wheels. The seller told me that each wheel can withstand a weight of 60kg

Well at least Chinese wheels are round… :smiley:

20181230_155403 Can confirm they look good so far. I purchased a set of bearing adaptors from boardbumpers. The theory being that will be a good go/no go gauge to test hub space and dimensions etc. Well there you have it. They fit perfectly. Next test will be fitting a pulley designed to fit Tampa wheel bolts. I will update. Also link supplied. Tell them that you want a set of 4 only and they will guide you through the rest. Pick some colours etc. They also asked what bearing size etc I required. But it was all getting too hard. So I told them to send out the standard item. They could make it a direct fit for evolve wheels or whatever. But board bumpers already have a cheap adaptor.

You could have asked it to fit 608 bearing

77

Yes but I think the outside distance between the bearings would be too wide.
