Good to know. Hopefully it’s the same for shipping to Canada. I don’t want to have to wait up to six weeks for the usual “economy” shipping. I’ve had that’s stuff take up to three months to arrive sometimes.

Team, thank you,
We will post the pricing tomorrow on a Google form.
To set expectations; negotiated discounts are in-line with “builder’s discounts” that we’ve seen from other companies.
The difference here is that Lofty drives are already priced direct-from-factory on eBay.
The additional discount is to help introduce a brand - Lofty Shenzhen - as a potential new and trusted partner to you, our community. Prices include DHL shipping to your door. We’re trying to keep this as frictionless as possible.
Everyone gets a chance to deal directly with the manufacturer.
Nobody stands between you, and your vision, any longer.
If you buy these drives, we just ask for one thing: please, post your builds. Spark ideas and invent things, or do like FabTrav and resell Loftys with your own brand on it - you can Indiegogo the next Evolve instead of patching up the last one, right here.
We charge ahead, together. Thanks team.

I once had a beautiful, melodic speaking voice like Fabian… but alas, then I turned 9 and my voice was never the same, again.

Thanks for @Winfly `s and your effort to make this happen.
One suggestion, how about asking for a 97mm Kegel core variant? This would create a bunch of choices for the whole community.

I don’t think 97 would be that much different than 100. It’s just a decision. 100 is a good size. Not going to argue about ± 5mm.

Yes you are probably right, I just thought there is already a quite decent 100mm Kegel core option.
If the lofty thane defers from the Boas in a positive way then that might be enough to make people buy it.

100mm Loftythane could be different in colour, price and or availability. You can’t buy a set of retail boas today because no one has them. I am guessing Lofty’s will cost less than $125 a set. That is different enough for me.

Here are some images of the wheels. The 83s don’t feel as soft but that maybe be because the 90s just have move thane to compress. The pulley is a 36t.

how do 100mm “MBS all terrain wheels” compare to the 100mm boas? I was considering them for a while

Can someone confirm that these direct drives has a diameter of 63mm?
Means on an 90mm wheel I have 13,5mm clearance?
They don’t. I have both and the Boa’s are way, WAY more comfortable.

Wait, what diameters are the boosted style thane coming in?

Current incoming grey wheels are 90mm with a nice footprint. Good from a torque standpoint, but less clearance than ideal.

No idea why I deleted this last night while in “should be asleep” mode. Just mentioning that both good wheel suggestions above are ABEC core, and we don’t have a readily available eLofty adapter yet.

All things equal. The grey wheels are noticeably softer than the orange ones. The grey thane is just softer.
