Community wheel poll

Isn’t rolling resistance huge with 80mm contact patch? Also what axle will they fit if they are so wide? The wheel people want to make has to fit into standard 37mm axle lenght

@brenternet the poll is not loaded I just couldn’t list every size. I did say if you picked other please say what it would be and there hasn’t been a load of people saying 110mm - only 6% chose other and half chose sizes under 107mm so its not as clear cut as you say.

For what its worth I also think a 110mm wheel would be awesome, not sure about black but happy to have black. 500 Wheels is only 125 sets. It would be possible to sell those I think…

Im deffo down to do something

It’s not a criticism Lee, poll is fine mate. Just wanted to clear up that people will likely choose sizes they know.

Sorry dude I didn’t mean to come across grumpy!

If this poll shows anything, perhaps it shows that it would be difficult to please everyone I guess.

For me I would love some big soft wheels in yellow but then I am weird so…

We’ll be having a pre-order for 110mm Black w/ Black Kegel Cores, Made in the USA. The pre-order will be a significant price break from original price. We’ll post soon. :laughing::+1:

How would you compare the ureathane quality to your current offerings?

These ones are made in the USA. A TON better than the current offerings which we have now. They also benefit our direct drive setup so wanted to go with a higher quality kegel core wheel. @b264 has been testing it. So far has been great with no chunking.

Sorry don’t want to push the thread off-topic. I think it helps to know though in-case you guys do plan on going a similar route we don’t get people making the exact same wheels and we are able to enjoy a wider range of variety in products. If you want too, fine with me… Just my 2 cents. :smile:

Maybe an Aquamarine blue, Teal or a Turquoise?

Rolling resistance decreases with the wider contact patch it seems. We want to fit standard axles of course.

I really like the idea of community owned molds/stuff if this ever evolve into an actual project I would like to be part of it…

Do we have any estimated figure we are talking about here for a batch of first 500pcs?

I am into bigger wheels >100mm preferably, but I guess we should first make what the most of the community wants.

Agreed. Any community wheel NEEDS to be at least >100mm otherwise there is no point going through all the trouble when there are other products on the market that will already do.

Also, while I prefer green, black is a good all around color for everyone and won’t get dirty looking.

I’m excited! When is the preorder? I am also interested on a discount price for 12 sets of possible.

@kuphjr Should be in a few weeks. Want to finalize a few things first. But yeah, pre-order would be the best time for that. You’d save quite a bit.
